Went to London yesterday to look at galleries. Was quite a fun trip if I do say so,even if I was super sleepy by the end. Fair price. First things first SHINY NEW SKETCHBOOK!!! And I have improved on the cutting out techniques:
Its beautiful. Anyway, started off the day in the national gallery. That was nice. Michael Landy was most definatly a highlight. Everything moved and gave terrifying clanks that made you think they were broken. It was also nice to see their inspiration in other galleries. I took some drawings.
Then I looked at other stuff. I can only say my selection was pretty random because I got totally lost and ended up drawing what was infront of me.(yes there is a rubbing of the floor in there. It was pretty.)
Leaving was hard because I was just starting to get my bearings and enjoy myself. Also Prince Harry was infront of the gallery so I couldn't see my friends through the crowd.
After lunch off to the Hayward Gallery. That was lots of posters about protest, which was interesting. I quite liked the most graphics-y ones.
We then saw a distressing photo exhibition which made me sad so I didn't draw off it. After convincing the others that there was a beach, convincing them onto it and a slip up, we ended up in the Tate modern. I have been there recently, so I wasn't too bothered. Mike Kelly's channel one,channel two and channel three were oddly underwhelming. Saw some pretty sculptures though.
Then Oxford street and home in First Class.Rosin managed to get us in it, her sheer pushyness will take her far in life.
So apart from some revelations about the Stalin's good looks and sandy cuts,it was pretty straightforward from there.
Fantastic trip, nothing beats walking over the millennium bridge singing the Apprentice theme tune.
Bonus picture of sexy Stalin.
That cover is really awesome. The work is too, but the cover tho :P
