To find the Pavilion of Scotland with the works of Karla Black was the most
 complicated but once I found the nearby streets there were signs everywhere.

Karla Black's sculptures prioritise looking over thinking and doing over speaking.
For her sculptures she uses different materials like paint, plaster, vaseline,
 cellophane, nail varnish, body paint, lipstick, eye shadow and many more.

Sometimes her sculptures look like installations and sometimes they are so flat
that they almost look like paintings. And some of them even had beautiful smell.

Edinburgh by Török Viktória

In February I went to Scotland for a couple of days to visit my friends in Edinburgh. They invited me to stay in their lovely new home. We had amazing time, beautiful posh meal in the Dome, drinks at the bar of the Balmoral Hotel and a couple of art walks. One evening they took me to a little restaurant in the Royal Mile where we could bring our own drinks as they don’t have licence to sell alcohol. I never visited a place like that before. So just after drinks in the trendy Hotel Missoni we went to Sainsbury’s and bought a couple of beers and wines and with our orange plastic bags walked up to the Royal Mile. Our waiter brought the menus to us and a bottle opener with empty glasses. The food was great and we had brilliant time.

On the last day we went to the Scottish National Gallery of Modern Art to see Karla Black’s works. She is representing Scotland in the Venice Biennial this year.  Then we had lunch in the Dean Gallery just next to Eduardo Paolozzi ‘s massive sculpture the Vulcan. We had such a great time and I almost missed the train back to London so we had to hurry up to collect my luggage and catch the train.  After the departure my phone rang. It was my friend – I forgot her keys. I took them to London with me and posted next day.
