Hi Edward, Thank you, that's really nice of you to say. I guess that's what I'm trying to explore with the writing: "subjective criticism" and a more creative writing approach to exploring what I, as a person, rather than academic/art historian, am feeling when I'm confronted with an exhibition and trying to understand it.
You're right, I've updated the review with dates for both and even added a link to buy tickets at the end.
