Summer 08

Throughout the summer I have visited a few exhibitions to try and keep a creative head but I found myself to be just more critical of what I saw because to be honest I didnt really see too much I liked, I visited the Manchester art gallery, Urbis, the Tate Modern in London and more recently the Tate in Liverpool to see the Klimt exhibition.

The thing I liked the most that i saw this summer was Gwon Osang’s life size scultpure in Manchester. I had never heard of his work before and had no idea what they where even on entering the ehibition space, upon closer inspection I found them to be sculptures made from close up photographs of that area. It was a surreal experience as you become unsure on what is a scultpure and what is a real person viewing the work.

I think they are like nothing I have ever seen before and would recommend seeing them as the photographs don’t do the work justice.
