2nd January 2012 - Grayson Perry @British Museum

Up a white spiral staircase, under a beautiful glass sky. He said walking around a museum was like travelling, full of wonder and adventure. He said you could give things more meaning, just because you want to. It’s up to you and that’s being an artist, that’s spirituality. Everyone was there. Half of London was there. But if you didnt prebook, you couldnt get in.

11th December 2011 - Gerhard Richter 11th @Tate Modern

He said “art is the highest form of hope”

4th December 2011 - Edvard Munch @Pompidou Centre

Two strangers walk side by side through the snow. They are walking towards you, but really you are not there. Their faces are almost blank, you don’t know where they are going or what they are looking at. You think you see their footsteps in the snow behind them, but you’re not sure.

4th November 2011 - Pippilotti Rist@ Hayward Gallery

Wierd, ugly, people laughing at things I didn’t think were funny at all. TV images in handbags, a naked woman abusing you from down inside a tiny hole, like Silence of the Lambs. Like taking mushrooms should be. Like those lamps that project moving images onto walls in kids bedrooms, but this is for adults.
