As an aside, have you (or anyone) been to the Patrick Keiller thing at the Tate Britain? Interesting stuff - includes everything from Whistler to Constable to Gursky to random minimalist shit to lumps of meteorite. And it's free.

I recently found out that he used to paint really, really near to my house, which is quite remarkable since I don't live in a very important/famous part of Amsterdam
