Visit - journal - record. (continued)




On a lovely Saturday, I and my friend Guan-wen decided to go to British Museum. I heard about this exhibition's opening before and quite expected my visit for a while ago as I've always loved Grayson Perry's work and also, his being as a witty and insightful contemporary artist. And certainly, it did not turn me down. If the exhibition's rooms weren't that crowded, we would have loved to dive in there a whole full day. Anyway, his work following the title "The Tomb of the Unknown Craftsmen" all make sense for me, they are charmingly content and undeniably, beautiful. One particular work that I stood looking at it for nearly 15 mins is the large tapestry - filled one room's wall - that I believe is about the journey of the craftsmen. It just simply blown my mind away, and perhaps, many other viewers that day. Although I had watched the Imagine program on BBC that Alan Yentob documented and interviewed Grayson Perry before, visiting the exhibition of my ever favorite artist - is one enjoyment of my weekends :)
