Beer Bottle Top Horse

We installed Gilbert Whyman's Beer Bottle Top Horse at the Horseworld Sculpture Exhibition which is on until November 1st 2010 at Horseworld, Whitchurch near Bristol with 36 equine related sculptures and one mural on two old doors. The exhibition is a mixture of conventional and wacky, this one being on the wacky end.

Open Day Horseworld Bristol

These show Gilbert Whyman making his Beer Bottle Top Horse which will be covered with beer bottle tops and will be one of the forty odd sculptures on show at the Horseworld Sculpture Show near Bristol from May 23rd to November 1st 2010. He was making it during Open Day at Horseworld a fun day of horse-related and other events.

London Wetland Centre Love London Recycled Sculpture Show

I went up to WWT the London Wetland Centre, the wildfowl reserve in Barnes, to help make a film of the Love London Recycled Sculpture Show which I curated. Ron den Daas from Canada is shown below adjusting his Golden Tree a.k.a What's it worth. This refers to the myth of King Midas who had his wish that everything he touched should turn to gold. Ron has painted plastic bottles gold with widlfowl depicted on each to hang from the tree made with old pipes. He wielded the camera and I spoke. Fortunately the planes to nearby Heathrow were on a different flight path while we did it. I also met there another of the exhibitors, Gilbert Whyman. This was a photograph of his Crocodile which I took in the autumn. Today there was ice and therefore no reflections. Gilbert and I discussed ideas for horse sculptures in the Horseworld sculpture exhibition I am curating in the summer at the Horseworld horse sanctuary near Bristol. We plan something that can include an element of public performance for the Open Day there on May 9th.
