Tilly Goes to LDN
I went to LDN this half term to visit some friends, and whilst i was there, I visited a couple of exhibitions, but what i really wanted to see was the exhibitions by Ed Ruscha, because from reading his interview in POP magazine i was intrigued to know more about his work, but unfortunately i didnt have time to go. =[
This half term I spent a few days in London and went to an exhibition called 'London Before London' which was about London before it was this iconic city. London was founded on the north bank of the Thames River, which was home to hunters etc. It was good for the information, but all they showcased was Flint. LOL. Could make a good colour scheme though..... Mark Edmonds-1999 'Our first world was the forest, but before the forest, there was ice. There was no colour and no time, no smoke and no tracks. The land was barren' I love this quote. It basically summed up the whole exhibition for me!
When i went to the Tate gallery, there was a piece by picasso which i was particularly interested in called 'Three Dancers' The name itself was decieving as it was about the love trianlge between three of Picasso's friends which resulted in the suicide of his friend Carlos Casagemas. The hidden meaning made me intrigued to know more. It was kind of like hearing gossip. Nowadays we are a society that thrives on hearing the latest gossip about the Beckhams or which celebrity couple are getting a divorce. There is an article in this seasons POP that talks about websites like Twitter, that are basically feeding us gossip everytime someone tweets.
