The Wallace Collection Free entry
Damien Hirst: The Blue paintings. 14- October 2009- 24January 2010.
I think it’s kind of an odd setting for a Hirst exhibtion, as the rest of the house is old furniture and paintings, like Rembrandts etc. But there are some really nice things that I probably wouldn’t of looked at otherwise. Especially some of the sculptures. Theres also a little trail of Hirst’s favourite pueces around the collection, with his thoughts on them.
My friend saw him showing a small boy around Tate Modern at the same time. She stalked him, and got his autograph. Ha..
Tate Britain Free for the most part
Turner Prize - 6 October 2009 – 3 January 2010
Adult £8 (conc £6) I didn’t go, I never do.. it’s the Turner prize, and something I’m generally not at all keen on.
Turner and the Masters 23 September 2009 – 31 January 2010
Adult£12.50 (conc £11) Theres already the Turner Rooms upstairs, which are free, so I saw no reason to go here.
Art Now: Beating the Bounds. 5- September – 13 December 2009.
A nice little collection of new artists. I particularly like Glenn Brown, and my friend liked Frank Auerbach.
Gilbert & George
A little.. Graphic (and the Tate put the sign rather late to shield small children) But I still love them. Bright and colourful, and tongue in cheek.
Duveen Galleries: Eva Rothschild
Giant triangles! (pictured). They remind me of a dinosuar skeleton in a museum. Cool, but I spent a lot of time wondering how they got the thing in/assembled.

Its been a long time. Sorry. I managed to uninstall the internet, and it can’t seem to find the drivers on the install disk, and importing them doesn’t seem to work either. D’oh!
Anyway. I’ve been quite busy lately.
Coming up I have.. London exhibitions and shopping. Pictures of my plug stash, and some stuff from uni.
Imma gonna try and spread it out a little 
I bought THE BOOK.
Damn… Online shopping makes it way too easy to spend too much money. Twas the shipping that got me.
It’d better be awesome as expected.
I’m updating, bear with me…
