Francis Alÿs Choques, 2005–06 Courtesy the artist and Galerie Peter Kilchmann, Zurich

There were some works which I enjoyed including the small video works high on the wall by Francis Alys. Also Rebecca Horn. I had seen a huge reprospective of her work in Berlin, but not this one, and I thought it captured her oeuvre. I am a great fan of Fischli and Weiss but these were not their best in my opinion, but then I have been very lucky in that I saw a large show of theirs in teh Tate Modern in London.

There seemed to be quite a contingent of Arte Povera artists as well as early works by Carolee Shneeman and Bruce Naumann. Nedko Solakov hired local students to paint the entry hall of the gallery black and then white over that etc etc etc. I thought it added something a bit different to the show, but the ladies at the desk hated it.
