Eva Hesse Exhibition

A friend and I went to the talk on Wednesday which Susan arranged. It was an unusual display of creations in latex, metal, string, cheesecloth etc. The pieces didn't have names, so it was a great help having an artist explain what Hesse was doing. She was experimenting with different materials. She died young, so we don't know what she was working towards. We learnt a lot, and would not have got much from the exhibition without the excellent talk. Be brave, folks and try something new! Hilary.

BSL

Can anybody tell me if BSL is an art?
I know that it can keep your memory exercised, your hands and fingers moving, your arms coordinated ... I think overall that it helps you to age well!!

RNID web-site

I have read the RNID web-site posted by Susan and I agree: there are not many of the events in the Edinburgh Fringe "hard of hearing friendly". I think, perhaps, it would be a help if next year, the Fringe and the Festival, both, were to publish their info with the additional clarification: WITH LOOP FACILITY or NOT LOOP next to each event. The Scotsman, I think, should also help telling us in its reviews this information. After all it is only a question of 2 or 3 words!
