DANIEL BUREN  -  BORROWING AND MULTIPLYING THE LANDSCAPE

AND HE HAS ACHIEVED JUST THAT - TO TAKE ON THE CHALLENGE WITH ONLY BLUE PRINTS TO WORK FROM DEMANDS THE MOST CREATIVE AND GENIUS IMAGINATION - THE RESULT WAS BREATHTAKING - A MUST SEE!

MR TATE - AKA - NICK SEROTA

DIRECTOR OF ALL OUR TATE'S, NICK GAVE AN INSPIRING SPEECH ABOUT THE IMPORTANCE OF OUR UK ART SPACE AND MAKING USE OF IT

AFTER ONE TOO MANY GLASSES OF CHAMPERS I THOUGHT IT MY DUTY TO TELL NICK HOW MUCH I ENJOYED HIS SPEECH AND JUST HOW STYLISH HE WAS LOOKING - HE WAS SPORTING A SKINNY, RED & BLACK LEOPARD PRINT TIE - NICK WAS UTTERLY CHARMING, SHARING HIS FISH&CHIPS WITH ME ON THE TRAIN BACK!

MARGARET HOWELL

'I'M PROBABLY A PRODUCT OF GROWING UP IN ENGLAND AFTER THE WAR, I WAS BROUGHT UP WITH THAT AUSTERITY ATTITUDE - NOT TO HAVE LOTS BUT  ONE GOOD ONE'

'I LIKE THE ICONIC THINGS ON WHICH MENS WEAR IS BASED'...

'I'VE ALWAYS LIKED THAT MALE PHILOSOPHY OF HOMING IN ON DETAILS AND STICKING WITH SOMETHING WHEN YOU LIKE IT'
