Morning everyone. Today I’m feeling like total shit because I spontaneously, and therefore unwisely, lobbed off all my hair last week. I now have a shitty bob – or not even a bob it looks like a grown out version of something that use to be a bob. I look about 12 am totally mortified and depressed will take over 3 years to grow it out to its old length and I look like total crap. Really feel like crying right here and now. Just what you need when you’re trying to find a nice boyfriend. Feel like shaving the whole thing off. Anyway am too miserable to write much today which is lucky because I haven’t got much to say.
On Saturday I went to a show at the ICA but to be honest didn’t really stay that long. Upstairs there was an exhibition of video work by the artist Lis Rhodes. I have literally no idea what it was about but the work was actually very beautiful – and that’s saying something from me as I think the vast vast majority of video work is total shit. Beyond shit. Anyway if you want to know more here is a link, its something about dissonance:

Then downstairs they have a very uninspiring exhibition called In Numbers; Serial Publications by artists since 1955. Catchy. This was actually just a room full of vitrines with magazines in them. I think the idea behind the show, i.e. “a survey exhibition of the often-overlooked genre of serial publications produced by artists around the world from 1955 to the present day” is a valid one but god there has to be better ways of displaying work than that? Anyway they had some nice stuff and all but was pretty uninspiring. Am sure 95% of the artists who create stuff like this are just doing it for the cash.
Anyway, I forgot to say in my last round up that I also went to see the White Cube South/Bermondsey a few weeks ago which totally blew me away – what an amazing space!! Both outside and in – although it’s bigger than the bloody Tate Modern practically. The show they had on when I was there was Anselm Keifer which was pretty awesome work if you like things that are MASSIVE – which I do.
