Susie Rushton: So many shows and so little time left Independent

04.09.09

Tomorrow is the start of last-odds weekend: the early September rush to the museums for Londoners like myself who, while we certainly feel self-important for living in a global cultural centre, got through an entire summer without seeing a world-class episode. (I blame both the allure of Saturday morning lie-ins and the toil of reading Sunday newspapers.)

Big art shows at the Tates Brand-new and Britain, the Serpentine Gallery, the National Portrait Gallery and the Hayward will all shortly close, without me having followed Richard Prolonged's rocky trails or had my eyes popped by a giant Jeff Koons canvas. Rankin hasn't captivated my photograph at the Truman Brewery. My ears haven't throbbed to the sound systems at the Notting Hill Carnival, nor any of the sellout Hyde Estate gigs, though I read friends' accounts of Blur and Springsteen on Facebook.

In fact, the only major at the time of the summer I witnessed was June's Tube strike – not that it was a cultural high point, although there was profusion of howling in the tailbacks on the Marylebone flyover.
