Sometimes you walk into a place -like a wood, a memorable building, a cafe, a concert hall, a gallery- and you realise instantly that this is going to part of your life. Parasol Unit has become one of those places for me. How come I had never been before? Perhaps living in the West Country gives me an excuse. But now I am going to visit again and again and again. The welcome is warm and encouraging. You feel you've met a new friend. The galleries are amazing. Generously proportioned, filled with light, and offering an extraordinary view of a courtyard garden that is itself like an act of imagination. And the sensibility on display in the exhibitions and events is impeccable. I started at the top by choosing the Martin Puryear retrospective as the reason for my first visit. But I am confident that any other show I see at Parasol Unit will impress me and give me something to think about.
