*****

Some words: plyboard, exposed sockets, vertical unfinished paint stripes, metal tubing frames, sellotape…

….this was just the gallery…

…or was it??

I need things explaining.

I’m just a dog.

There was also a rude one if that’s your cup of tea.

Also – a cross continental art show, nature, a children’s protest.

I need to lie down now.

LONG

Deutsche Borse prize @tpgallery.

*****

There’s a bit on China 1st… 2 words… Propaganda, rudeness… Pop in there… Doesn’t take long.

*****

I think we go to this prize thing every year. Some of it I didn’t like, some of it was ok, some of it I liked.

Such is the way of things.

3 stars,

Cheers,

Was going to blog about this earlier, but, you know… Been tired and stuff.

*****

Bloomin stuff.

Sonia Delaunay @tate modern.

Some words: faces, expressions, colours, shapes, patterns, movements, dancers, conveyor belts, love.

I also learnt what a gouache was on Wikipedia as I went round.

Go tho. It’s probably the best art.

We liked it a lot.

5 Colin stars.

BUSH

This is a family friendly blog so various words will need to be redacted in my review of an exhibition at the Welcome Collection.

At one point a man encourages you to get into a metal box to get your orgones going whatever that means….

Anyway…

Some words: *******, *******, Kate Bush, *********, strain guages, *******, an alsatian, groans, moans, wails, cries, ***********, the nazis, wind chimes, ***************, ************, urinal spray, Margaret Thatcher and ***.

Cheers,

DONUTS

What’s this then, eh?

(null)

What do you think?

It’s art.

I think I like it.

Don’t know why.

I also think it’s nice to go to a little road in Bethnal Green where there are four cool free gallery’s.

Herald street, innit.

Just check they’re open or you’ll just have to buy donuts from the sainsburys local to ensure its not a wasted trip.

Cheers,
