So, I finally got round to seeing' The Shape of Things to Come' today. Overall, I dislike going to The Saatchi gallery not necessarily for its outlandish work which is sometimes quite disappointing, I mainly hate its layout as a space and the surrounding area. The Kings road, Sloan square and its population of busy, unfriendly toffs usually results in me arrive at the Saatchi disheartened and generally pissed off. I for some reason always forget how to get there(probably because the surrounding area is that bland, touristy London filled with Pret Mange's and designer shops) , dress unusually scruffy and have to ask for directions off a sneering local. Once there I find it hard to maneuver through the galleries, sometimes missing work and resenting the many flights of stairs(plus stupidly expensive cafe and unfriendly staff). Despite the layout, the space does allow for large, impressive work especially gallery 10 which was housing Sterling Ruby's 3 pieces. It is also always a good excuse to go and look at Richard Wilson's permanent sump oil installation in the basement.

Cowbells and Pretty Girls.

From 3 minutes and 34 seconds...

Listening to this whilst desperately trying to find some mug to buy my shit on ebay. Not quite ready to depart with my paddington :(

Two of my close friends are soon to be off travelling for a very long time,so we decided to take a trip down memory lane by finding a couple Geo-cache's in my old area. Armed with a foam giraffe hat,a pair of binoculars and some bubbles for good measure we missioned through the undergrowth of some of North London's parks. Here is my one of my finds.





I also will be exchanging Gerald when I have time to set up my own cache as we didn't have time yesterday.Included is a handy break up line and some basic information about Gerald : Gerald enjoys dressing up in formal wear and immersing himself in tango. Please look after him if you find him.

Went to The RA summer show today (more to come) but discovered this gallery and found these pieces/designers a lot more refreshing.

You Are Great in Love

You are great in love.
You are bold.
My every step is timid.
I'll do nothing bad to you,
but can hardly do you any good.
It seems you are
leading me
off the beaten path through a forest.
Now we're up to our waist in wildflowers.
I don't even know
what flowers they are.
Past experience is of no help here.
I don't know
what to do or how.
You're tired.
You ask to be carried in my arms.
Already you're in my arms.
"Do you see
how blue the sky is?
Do you hear
what birds are in the forest?
Well, what are you waiting for?
Well?
Carry me then!"
And where shall I carry you?...

Child's Play

I went to Cambridge Heath the other day and it ended up pissing it down so I put on J Dilla's Donuts and missioned towards Bethnal Green finding some dry refuge in The Museum of Childhood. I found Rebecca Fortnum's Absurd Impositions, 20 beautifully drawn portraits of children.
I also found some nice retro 80s toys, some very strange dolls ( see awful red sketch of a Dutch 'Peg Wooden' doll) and on my journey back a sodden sticker advertising Grime artist Kozzie. More about :
