Other England — marooned marina boats in the shadow of the cooling towers of Ratcliffe Power Station — a touch of Ballard and Aickman

That burning of the Straw Bear at Whittlesey on Sunday. A melancholic musical procession accompanying the burning made this all the more affecting, a frost bitten Wickerman

At the Whittlesea Straw Bear Festival -- Saturday 11th Jan.

Mike Kelley “Ghosts and Spirit” at The Tate Modern. I’d just finished Alan Moore’s short story Illuminations (which is brilliant) on the tube to see Kelley. Strangely and beautifully contiguous, and weirdly carnivalesque. The imaginings of Superman’s Kandor pic 1, like Coleridge on Coke and Comics.
