A Russian Play - an invitation from 2001

 *

"A Russian Play", at the Metro Cinema - A6

Here is the invitation from this exhibition, in London's Metro Cinema, which closed in 2004.

 The show featured paintings and monotypes.

W. J. Eccleston's excellent short story- The Vicious Pixie was distributed at the opening in booklet form. 

The painting title came from Gershwin's But Not for Me, which I know from Chet Baker's version:

They're writing songs of love, but not for me

A lucky star's above, but not for me

With love to lead the way

I've found more clouds of grey

Than any Russian play could guarantee.
