Tara Donovan
Some works by Tara Donovan, american artist. She uses everyday manufactured materials (scotch tape, styrfoam cups, drinking straws) to create large scale sculptures.
John Lautner
The Lighthouse in Glasgow is hosting an exhibition of projects and models by John Lautner, an american architect (1911-1994) who worked in Los Angeles, Hollywood, Acapulco and Anchorage, mostly during the 60s and 70s.
His work tries to correlate man with the environment, and environment itself with nature. His houses are clearly Hollywood-style, and they have often been chosen as a set by fashion photographers, directors and videogames!
They look like spaceships in the desert, don't they?
CameronWebster Architects, the Printworks, Glasgow.
Today I went with Marian to a lunch in the amazing CameronWebster architects office in Otago Street. It's called the Printworks, my landlord Robin Webster and his partners have designed it, and it looks like this:
Take a look at their website.

This morning I woke up early and I went out to the west part of the city to visit the Hunterian Art Gallery and Museum and Mackintosh House.
Here is a photo of a coloured and nice building near the museum, I think it's part of Glasgow University. Isn't it nice?
I went to the Hunterian Art Gallery which has a great Whistler collection plus other artists, included the Glasgow Boys and many other beautiful pictures.
The loveliest thing I've ever seen!! Mackintosh House! Actually, I'm loving Mackintosh so much! I wanted to buy his books of watercolour, but they told me It's gone out of print!! sob!!
Tomorrow I'm going to visit his House for an Art Lover, a house they built after his death, based on his projects.
(I couldn't shot photos, but no one was looking... :)
Hunterian Museum is in another building, inside the Glasgow University Campus. It's a sort of scientific museum, with dinosaurs skeletons, human body parts in formalin, minerals, birds nests, fossils, prehistoric arrows..
...and insects!
That's me in the mirror of the elevator!! ahah!
And that's the amazing Glasgow University!!! I wish I had studied here! (yes! there was the sun!! But a lot of wind as well!)
Princes Square Mall for some shopping. (didn't buy anything for the records)
And finally I deserved a coffee and some black chocolate at Starbucks inside Borders!
Well, that was my saturday! I'll keep posting tomorrow. See you.
