Week 9

November 29th-December 5th
This week, I missed my film class as it was snowing however I still went to my art class trip to London, the bus was slow and crashed into a Police car so didnt get their till 1 in the afternoon. I looked through 2 galleries in the Tate Modern and then we went to the Saatchi Gallery. There was a Reds Exhibition
going on while we were there which was annoying because we weren't allowed to go into 2 galleries. The most memorable part of the Saatchi was seeing the piece of art by Richard Wilson called 20:50 which was the whole of the bottom room filled with oil. It smelled disgusting but looked incredibley beautiful.

Also in the Saatchi Gallery there was an artist called Clarisse d'arcimoles I loved her photography as she found old pictures of her, friends and family and take pictures of them today looking similar by pulling the same facial expressions and wearing similar clothing. Her work makes me think that our core ideology never changes and genetics are always inside of us. It is a simple concept however looks more complex than you think.

After the Saatchi Gallery I went to Tate Britain and I found a more humorous piece of art done in 1973 called An Oak Tree by Irish artist Michael Craig-Martin. He got a glass of water on a high up shelf and was trying to persuade the audience by a piece of text alongside the work that it is an Oak Tree! Another piece I love by him is On the Shelf also done in 1970.
