Art



Had some time to kill at in London last weekend. Went to the Tate modern. Saw some cool stuff. Especially some David Shrigley drawings which made me laugh out loud. Art that makes you laugh is good.

Was disappointed that Ai Weiwei's sunflower seeds had been packed up. I think he's still being held by the Chinese government, as part of their crackdown on any dissenting voices. Did get this picture of people trying to look over the barrier at the packed up exhibition. Bit blurry because it's through glass.


I like the contrast between how sad the empty space looks, and how happy the people lifting the girl to look look. Probably should have found some synonyms for look there.
