It's only just begun.

We're so excited to welcome this weekend the crates from Liverpool and the first of our Barbican-exclusive loans, Fernand Léger's The Baluster all the way from MoMA in New York. Originally exhibited in the Pavillon de l’Esprit Nouveau, which Le Corbusier designed for the 1925 International Exposition of Decorative Arts in Paris, this is a very rare opportunity for this important work to be seen in London.

You can see a digital recreation of the Pavillon here, but you'll have to visit the exhibition to see the room recreated and its contents reunited in the flesh.

The clock is ticking.

A moment of calm....before the storm of crates arrive.

Gone but not forgotten.

One last look at This Is War!

Chh-ch-changes.

(the gallery workshop)

The time between exhibitions is truly a magical time. You're sad to see the shows coming down but at the same time you can't wait to see the gallery transform itself once more. You get out from in front of your computer (at last!) and roll up your sleeves, walk through the spaces waving hello's and catching up on old times with the installation crew. You can be as loud as you want (in a gallery!) or just sit a spell soaking in the crazy twilight zone that is turnaround. You see the space as a blank canvas and at the same time you remember bits of every show you've ever seen there. You brace yourself for what's ahead!

That said we're all sad to see Rafael Lozano-Hemmer and This is War! come down but we're also gearing up for the installations of Peter Coffin in the Curve and Le Corbusier in the main gallery.

It's my most favourite time to be in the gallery. I'm always stressed to the core but it's the very best kind of stress, wanting to savour every moment knowing it only happens every three months. The magic continues as the gallery is cleared to make way for the majority of works coming in this weekend. We can't wait, but we can....

Decisions decisions.

With the opening of the show now less than one month away, you can feel (and hear!) the buzzzzzz around Team Corb as we keep on keepin' on towards the finish line.

There are still so many loose ends to tie up before the majority of the works arrive from The Crypt (which closed this past Sunday). Images, graphics, captions, floor plans, gallery guides, insurance, per diems, v.i.p.'s, events....you name it we're on it. With tired eyes but smiling hearts. Le Corbusier — The Art of Architecture is comin' at us like *Jaws*........ready or not.

And for all of you out there just jonesin' for 19 February, you can visit our microsite which officially went live today. We hope you'll love it as much as we do. Mad props to Chris and Rachel, we couldn't have done it without you.
