well... I have been a long time haven't I?

Went back to view the exhibition with a new eye (not literally!) - wasn't impressed!  some of the work had been sold and there were gaps in the displays were the bought pieces had been removed - the retaining fittings etc were left on the boards - it looked absolutely awful/ghastly?  there were people coming through and viewing the work , but not commenting much to their companions (observed), considering this is billed as Leeds Art Fair - Contemporary Art in the public arena - it wasn't very engaging with large gaps of empty wall space (except for the screws that were still in place).  perhaps this show could have been the exhibit itself in this form.  (just a thought).  Another point that I will make is what what did the title imply by having 'Contemporary' in the shows title - did it mean literally art that has just been made?  or did it mean in the style of the present position of contemporary art practice, because there was some very traditional type of work included in the exhibits.  I can understand why these pieces were included in the exhibition (they were very well crafted) when considering the venue (public thoroughfare) but the title was a little ambiguous.
