art gets in

all three of this year's visual artists are here, and loading their pieces into the cathedral, and it is great to see all of the work properly rather than as jpeg files. While Angie Lewin and Andy Lovell nad met briefly once before, this is the first time that Alistair Tucker has met either, and certainly the first time that all three have exhibited together. All up there is 152 feet of hanging space (is that a lot? it feels a lot) and with it roughly split into three, we can expect well over 100 pieces to be hung, although until they're up we're not sure which ones and how many. It also occured to me this morning that this is the first time since I started here in 2005 that we've had 2D work up in both the North Choir Aisle and the Chapter House, which is of course what happened pretty much every year before I arrived.
