After a very successful opening of my own exhibition 'land water darkness' at Gas Gallery / Oriel Nwy last Friday, raced home for a few hours' sleep before treating myself to catching the last weekend of the 'Henri Matisse: The Cut-Outs' exhibition at Tate Modern in London, with its special all-nighter. So it is possible to share these exclusive photos of what it was like around 10pm when a huge number of people were queueing for timed admission. The show was very crowded most of the day, but well worth seeing. A review of the exhibition itself will appear here after I've brought the Indigo Violet Larkin exhibition postings up to date.

The man in the dark jacket was trying to organise the queue.
Tate employee remaining chipper dealing with processing a six-foot chain of tickets.
The queue to enter the exhibition at 10pm went on and on.
And when they finally got to the front of the queue...
...everybody packed up in the first room. It was very crowded, but not impossible.
Downstairs does not normally look like this on late openings!
The new downstairs bar in the Turbine Hall was doing a roaring trade. Did not look to see if there was any special Cut-Outs beer.
