  • Through the display window of the gallery of Monika Spruth and Philomene Magers, London, during a show of new photos by Cindy Sherman, whose figure is seen in over life size enlargement on the walls.  They are so placed in a black-and-white background landscape that the three standing figures, each in a different costume, seem to float. I have admired Sherman's work and went specifically to look at this show.  It was to me more like a performance than an exhibition of work one might want to own.  Nevertheless an interesting view at dusk.  The street behind is reflected faintly in the windows too.

  • Members of the Rajasthani Kamar tribe perform the Tera Tali which is an elaborate ritual with many elements of dance. It is generally performed by two or three women who sit on the ground. Manjiras, or small metal cymbals are tied to different parts of the body, mostly the legs, and with a cymbal in either hand the dancer strikes these in rhythm. The head is covered with a veil, and at times a small sword is clenched between the teeth and an ornamental pot balanced on the head.  This was a special performance for an Elderhostel tour group in a shady grove of mango trees north of Udaipur.

  • From the 17th until the mid-19th century, Vauxhaul was a popular leisure destination for Londoners to enjoy gardens, music, strolling, and eating.  The costume display at the London Museum in December 2010 included a case display of figures attired in clothes of the period, on dark mannequins which has the effect of minimizing their faces and creating a magical environment of ghostly figures beautifully dressed, commemorating a vanished period.  Here the dark silhouette of a visitor walking by the display adds to the mysterious and ambiguous effect.  The pleasure gardens were closed in 1859 and the land sold for building.
