Feeling quite at home in London. Conley's good mate got married on Friday at the Ethlam Palace--Textile magnates Stephen and Virginia Courtauld built their glamorous Art Deco London showpiece in 1936, next to the remains of a medieval royal palace which was originally Henry VIII’s boyhood home--it was a fantastic and a gorgeous setting. We both stayed at Think apartments--totally ikea-ed out--near the London Bridge.
We checked out the Tate Modern and saw the Pop exhibit. The exhibit is a full experience. The exhibition designers for this show did a great job. I began walking through Warhol's work with his videos playing. Next, I enjoyed the setup of Keith Haring's replica shop accompinied with loud 80's hip hop. Then I moved on to a special 18 and over room for Koons--trully fun to see people's reactions to what sex, ego, and well excuted art techiques. Finally I stepped into the Murakami world. A music video of Kirsten Dunst dressed up like an anime charicture titled, Akihabara Majokko Princesss, directed by McG, and produced by Takashi Murakami, was on rockin' continual roatation;) here are some images from the film
You could be the next twins for Damien Hirst's installation!!!
Yesterday I experienced another well designed and engaing exhibition: SHOWstudio FASHION REVOLUTION at Somerset House. Yes. Yes. Yes! SHOWstudio is really pushing the Fashion envelope. There are touch screens that you pull and twist the garments with your fingers and mirrors everywhere, scrutinizing you at different angles. This really shows that there is no one right way to look at fashion. I enjoyed the films by Gareth Pugh. One of the films has shots through black lace--love. So check all these goodies for your eyes, mind, souls and/or wallets.
this is my favorite movie by Nick Night
Nice to see you're associating with royalty! I enjoyed the photos, I hope you are making good grades and having a lot of fun! Love, Uncle Harry!
