Love that sometimes work admin takes me to great places- enjoyed checking out #GrundyBlackpool exhibition #DonkeyWork featuring #LubainaHimid #MarinaAbramovic #LauraFord #PaulNash. Riffing of Blackpool seaside heritage but also international and contemporary

Me standing in front of a large wall graphic for Liverpool Biennial with the words BEDROCK and a grid pattern of wavey lines on magenta on an orange background

V excited to be at #LiverpoolBiennial preview days- having watched the Biennial take shape at a distance I can't wait to see it

Large woodcut print of a horse surrounded by flames- 'Brunhilde Grane', 1978

#AnselmKiefer @ashmoleanmuseum.bsky.social well worth a visit- wasn't sure I was in the zone but felt a privilege to see these works. Particularly loved the woodcuts

I purchased one on Friday, & now I am lugging it cross country to Clore residential- but am v much looking forward to reading!

Me (a middle aged woman with short hair) wearing a pink and purple tie died T shirt that says 'Museusm don't run on pixie dust' and has a picture of a unicorn

Pretty pleased with my University Museums Group conference look, if I do say so myself. Always good to bring the gravitas when returning to @camunivmuseums.bsky.social

V much enjoyed day 1 of #AAM2025- amazing to be in rooms with so many museum folk showing huge resilience in challenging circumstances

Sorry to be missing this in #Cambridge - if you are around, would recommend! Hope it goes well & congrats on the publication, Jack...

Lifesize sculptural costumed figure wearing boots and a tall structure covered in artificial flowers ('Soundsuit 8.46' by artist Nick Cave). Behind, a headless figure wearing a suit made from colourful fabric beads over a drinking fountain ('Headless Man Trying to Drink' by artist Yinka Shonibare). Hanging on the far wall, a hanging made from flattenned bottle tops and other scrap metal in gold, yellow and red (art work by El Anatsui)

Museum explorations ahead of #AAM2025: enjoying this at LACMA www.lacma.org/art/exhibiti.... Powerful works by Yinka Shonibare, Nick Cave, El Anatsui, Nona Faustine, Radcliffe Bailey, Sandra Brewster and Kara Walker, to name a few

Feels like a really important moment to be talking about how museums might maintain credibility while addressing bias, resource challenges, power abuse, and social injustice through transparent and collaborative practices #AAM25 - so looking forward to being part of the conversation

Excited to be heading to #AAM2025 to gather with 1000s of museum pros -feels like a massive privilege (thanks @cloreleadership.bsky.social). Looking forward to sharing ideas, hearing some different voices & feeling connected annualmeeting.aam-us.org. Say hi if you're there & you'd like to connect...

Hmmm - obviously want to count now. I would say 2019 would have been our high point year...
