This show was splendid. It incorporated the space it was shown in excellently and the works on display were wonderfully made, deep in context, sentiment and strangely engaging. The flaking memory of dreams and reality are embodied nakedly in this exhibition and as a result excludes no one from enjoying it. As conscious beings we are immediately able to embrace and digest it in mysteriously individual ways. One can shut their eyes and spy the congregation pooling their intricate and unique emotions together in order to create one wild and colourful entity while walking around the space.

The act of choosing ones favourite piece or pieces from this special show really seems to be a rather absurd procedure. Partly due to the great sense that all the works are inseparable from one another and so work as a larger whole, but also because they are all of such a fine quality that a persons preferd piece could change as easily as the weather.

However I will allow myself to state that 'Project for a Memorial' was spellbinding. I sat there engrossed by the projections of freshly born and moist faces making way for weathered, dry and rapidly fading features for an interminable length of time. Exactly what one wants from a piece of art. To leave the street they entered from far behind them and to become weightless while in its pressence.

This was the Columbian's first UK show to date and it was mighty overdue in my mind. It is quite simple really, you all must go and see it.
