I send the invitation and stare at my face on the computer screen, practising smiles for when he comes in. The look of a serious journalist, the smile of a relaxed conversation the glance at the notes document without looking like I need a cheat sheet, check.
We could have had this conversation in person, but the mutual rotation between Lisbon and London favours an interview between a café in Chiado and a studio in Tower Bridge. When I went to visit the exhibition, he was at AR.CO, when I came to Lisbon, he was already in London.
Theodore Ereira-Guyer has his first solo exhibition, Thicket, with Elizabeth Xi Bauer Gallery. From an English mother and Portuguese father, we exchange experiences between the two cities when I let him into my meeting room.
