Walking in My Mind

admin — Tue, 01 Sep 2009 17:16:59 +0000

An exhibition I really enjoyed was Walking in My Mind at the Hayward Gallery.
“Walking in My Mind explores the inner workings of the artist’s imagination through immersive, large-scale installation art. Ten international artists transform the Hayward Gallery’s indoor galleries and outdoor sculpture terraces into a series of gigantic sculptural environments, each of which represents an individual mindscape. Interior worlds of emotions, thoughts, memories and dreams collide with exterior reality, blurring the boundaries between inner and outer space.”

Artists include:
Charles Avery, Thomas Hirschhorn, Yayoi Kusama, Bo Christian Larsson, Mark Manders, Yoshitomo Nara, Jason Rhoades, Pipilotti Rist, Chiharu Shiota and Keith Tyson.

I thought this was a really nicely curated exhibition that made excellent use of the Hayward space. At times it was difficult to relate the exhibition to the usual inner space of the gallery. The exhibition provoked many interesting problems about how an artist can portray the inner workings of the human mind and where ideas come from.

Banksey verus Bristol Museum

Over the summer I went to Bristol to view the Banksey exhibition. It has received a lot of attention in the press and people have been queuing for up to 4 hours to get in.I must have been lucky as i only had to wait 40 minutes (great). I had mixed feelings about the exhibition, there were a lot of nice ideas in the work on display but afterwards I was left feeling fairly nonplussed by the exhibition and that the work was very superficial. I accept that a lot of people rate Banksey’s work though so here are a number of images from the exhibition.
