Art, architects and Scandinavians

On Friday we were walking past C99 - other place opposite Kensal Rise station and realised it was 'open' so went in. It's an art gallery currently showing a local Scandinavian artist Ylva Kunze - some amazing pieces. I was also interested by the building (open plan modern finish, floor to ceiling windows at the back), and the fact an architect firm operates from down stairs.

Still no sign of charity shop, Greene & co. or any change at the Diner. The parking bay outside Golden Tower Tesco's, is that a legit 'pop to the shops' parking spot?

Today and tomorrow (and last week) the new Portobello Dock is having a
an exhibition of 'creative talent' sponsored by Tom Dixon. It's a pretty major effort, with two buildings with multiple floors crammed full of various artists and designers' wares, some of which are for sale. Definitely worth seeing. I took some more pictures here and here and here and here and here's a Veuve Cliquot pod designed by one of the architects.
