Highlights Fundación Montenmedio Contemporánea: Puente by Shen Yuan (2004); James Turrell’s Second Wind (2005, 2009), in which swallows were nesting; Gunila Bandolin’s Sky Impression (2001), flickering shadows of trees, ice blue bee-eaters & a leggy stork; Marina Abramović’s vertiginous Human Nests

One of my long-term very favourites - both from it being Harlech and just the unbelievable calling luminosity. Sea with a shine like the pewter in his still lives.
