Undertook my roughly annual visit to mima (Middlesbrough Institute of
Modern Art) where four exhibitions were on offer: International Exchanges –
classic modern art including works by Barbara Hepworth, Ben Nicholson and even
a Jackson Pollock; Diary Rooms – a revealing collection of notes written by
serving soldiers in Afghanistan collated and presented by Derek Eland;
Contemporary Jewellery – some too stunning to possibly wear; and Naming – a David
Lynch (of twin Peaks renown) collection of art, photos and video; then, just
outside, the Bottle of Notes – a monument celebrating the maritime and
industrial heritage of Teesside, with the bottle made of words from Captain
James Cook’s log, fabricated in locally worked steel.
