Art

One of the advantages of working in a provincial capital instead of a principle town is that you can spontaneously decide to visit an art gallery when you are allowed home early after a bombscare.

And if you happen to be in Belfast, the Ormeau Baths Gallery makes an excellent choice, especially the current exhibition, "Perspective", which includes a healthy dose of Northern Irish related, um, art.

The standout piece was Amanda Dunsmore's "The Portraits": videos of David Ervine and Martin McGuinness staring at each other from separate monitors. You can download a (pixellated) video of it here.

A good exhibition leaves the viewer feeling fresh upon exiting the gallery; like pickled ginger for the mind.

Plus it's handy for the hookers that hang around Tyrone House up the street a bit.
