Very beautiful documentary on Leonora Carrington made by the BBC in 2017 - Leonora Carrington - The Lost Surrealist (BBC)

Last night's viewing - a change of pace - Sam Peckinpah's The Getaway based on a Jim Thompson novel. Steve McQueen and Ali McGraw on the run and one of my favourite actors Slim Pickens in a small but key role. Quite a contrast to Buñuel and Cocteau of the last few weeks. Another from @kanopy.com

Current reading - NYRB Classic - Down Below - Leonora Carrington's nonfiction account of her breakdown and incarceration in an asylum in Spain. 30-page intro by Marina Walker is useful for someone new to Carrington's work. The 68-page account itself is pretty harrowing and (for me) essential reading
Tomorrow and Sunday I'll be playing audio here from around the world as part of 'if trees were lone women what would they sound like in Aarhus'. As well as the audio already received I'm doing a 24 hour call-out for audio from women (inclusive) and NB people from anywhere in the world, details below

Sunday morning Bacon…Two figures at a window 1953.
For years now I've woken up every morning to two big David Hockney prints on the wall opposite. I open the blinds and the light hits them and they just make me happy. I'm so sorry to hear that he's died.
