Photo of Chromogenic print by Cindy Sherman on display at the National Portrait Gallery Cindy Sherman exhibition

Some images just stick with you following an exhibition and this one has with me. I originally planned to go to the BP Portrait Award 2019 but when I arrived I was struck by the Cindy Sherman poster. I took the plunge, got my ticket and went in to see the show. It was well worth the visit as so many of the photographs were impactful and emotional. This was definitely my Friday treat.

I needed a strong coffee after this show so another visit is definitely planned for the Portrait Award exhibition

Display from the ‘Olafur Eliasson In real life’ exhibition at Tate Modern

With most exhibitions its about finding something that hits the right button, the one that gets you thinking.

The last room in the Olafur Eliasson exhibition has a video running about some of his building projects. It was this video that hit the right chord for me. It was  about Fjordenhus the building he designed in Denmark and was definitely worth watching.

For info: ‘The Weather project’ / the Sun in the Turbine Hall in 2003 was by Eliasson.
