Please try to ignore the horrendous quality of these photos, they were taken on my iPhone! The Saatchi gallery has always been my fave place to go because the art there simply isn't boring, I've been to so many other galleries but never really enjoy myself there as much as I do in the Saatchi. Seeing as Ambra is in Barcelona, I had to go alone (struggles when you only have one friend cri) which was quite refreshing. It was more full than I expected it to be though but nevertheless I really liked the pieces on show, the photo with all the pots and pans reminded me of my moroccan/indian family as the majority of them have around 50 pots and treat them like their babies. The weird copper ball thing and thread spool have interesting stories behind them, the artist used a large polystyrene ball and basically "hand wrapped" it with copper string. It took her around 17 days to complete -with breaks of course- and she had to walk a total 181km to cover the whole circumference of it #commitment. You may know of Sigmund Freud, the father of Psychology. His grandson used to suffer from anxiety so to 'calm' him down, Freud would unravel several spools and get him to wrap the thread around them again. I guess Anderson found this quite intriguing and perhaps created such a sculpture to echo that 'tradition' Freud had created... Anyway, I feel as if I'm boring you all so I'll just stop here, one last thing though: if you're in London, go and visit the saatchi asap rocky!
Have you been to the Saatchi gallery recently? What's your favourite piece?

haha I guess so the lighting was quite poor though, that's why I feel as if these photos are slightly grainy. I think so too, the story behind it is quite different
DeleteThese pictures are still amazing quality - I love them! The Saatchi Gallery is so peaceful and amazing, I love that place.
