SO… after yesterday’s post I didn’t really get to finish because I started so late and was slightly… well… feeling lazy, and I didn’t upload any photos. So here are some from the day.

Tomas Saraceno, Observatory, Air-Port-City, from the bottom. We didn’t win the lucky dip to go to the top but it was still pretty interesting from the bottom side. Luckily it was sunny, it did become a litte too hot though since it was directly in the sunshine at the time. It’s almost a shame they close it when it rains, I would have liked to experienced the inside during the rain.

I took this on the walk back to the station. It’s a little generic but I still like it. It’s of the fountains outside the Royal Festival Hall. There were loads of people running in and out of the fountains and having fun, even though it was around 5 in the evening and it was slightly cold as evidence by Matt’s coat…

Today my friend Matt and I went to the Psycho Building exhibit at the Hayward Gallery. We went a bit late in the afternoon and had to line up for a little but I liked it.

The piece I liked the best was Fallen Star by Do Ho Suh.

The first impression I got while walking up to the piece is of the tornado from the Wizard of Oz. The smaller of the houses is a model of a Korean house the artist lived in while growing up and the larger of the houses is a replica of the house he moved to while studying in America.

I thought that this was an amazing visualization of a culture clash. My friend, although liked the piece visually, thought that it could be improved upon. I think that my background was part of the reason I felt this way about this piece.

There was a large que for the Geltin’s Untitled with Unrestricted View so we didn’t go on the boats :(.

I think that if I had ever read a H. P. Lovecraft novel then the In  Memory of H P Lovecraft installation may have made a bit more sense. By this point in the exhibit Matt and I had decided that the programme with the artist reasoning behind the work was useless as art should be personally to each person. And I still haven’t read about it yet. Nor the Air-Port-City which was a pretty interesting experience.

It is getting rather late now though, so I think I will leave the rest until tomorrow.

Nite.
