I was taken to the Olafur Eliasson exhibish at The Tate Modern a couple of weeks a go.
I'm a big fan of Eliasson, following The Weather Project he did at the TM not long after it opened.
As an artist, I can only imagine that being given a commission to fill a space as huge as the turbine hall, must be absolutely terrifying.
What did he do?
He made it twice as big.
By putting a mirror on the ceiling.
Kudos to him.
As acts go that's a hard one to follow and although his current show at TM is good, it is very much in the wings of The Weather Project.
Today, I went to see the Antony Gormley exhibish at The Royal Academy.
I can take or leave Angel of the North - it doesn't really cut it for me.
However, Gormley's studio is just down the road from me, in Peckham, and his work is evident in the street furniture around Bellenden Road and East Dulwich Grove, and I'm fond of some of his minor works.
I would deffo recommend seeing the exhibish at The Royal Academy.
The scale of some of his works is gargantuan.
There'll be a lot of angle-grinding noise when it comes to taking it out.
And, although door tax is hideously expensive at the RA (£25.00), they do serve very good Bloody Marys to go with the eggs benedict in The Green Room.
