Back to things and we have been set the project- Food I decided to research Café culture, performance with food and weird cults.
In the same day we went to the Cornerhouse, to the Bloomberg new contemporaries exhibition, a few pieces were good some bad, some ugly, some trying to break taboo's, Like
Paul Knight, on first glimpse, you think thats been done before, Andy Warhol, used to film that in his factory etc etc, but then you see the titles, saying perhaps how long his relationships have been with these people, which is humourous, He says there about sex and the human relationship, I like that they don't look beautiful that you almost feel embarrased when looking at the photographs, and that it looks like the same guy with three different people in long term relationships, one being with a man, so hes experimenting I doubt he's the performer, The reason I find it funny is that there like memories or he got bored with women maybe, not sure..

Was that the best relationship because hes counting the days.
I liked Sam Burford's work which was basically embraseing materials, shape and form, trying to be very simple, or mysterious. In the programme he says "
I really can't think of anything to say that would support the work adequately.It is what it is". Either mysterious pretentious or lazy, but I liked the work so.... I shouldn't judge really.

The work that either hypnotised me; or stole the show for me was probably Dean Kissick "Just a Quiet Peaceful Dance for the Things we'll never have" It started slowly and swelled with a dub-step soundtrack that sped up and so did the images, full of subliminal messages, showing art work though out the ages in a slide show iconic images, and recent things afew turner prize pieces and the Foals Album art some architecture, I say hypnotized because you felt like you were falling and couldn't leave the room, and felt exhausted was like a rave in the tate modern.
