Light & Dark with Balka & Mapplethorpe


Tate Turbine Hall: The Unliever Series: Miroslaw Balka 'How It Is' Turbine Hall, Tate Modern 
I was in London over the weekend and managed to see 'How it is' by Miroslaw Balka in the Turbine Hall at Tate Modern. Experiencing a physical environment in art is intirguing, how questions can be asked and answered through the simple experience of being forced into darkness and then faced with lightness, it was an exciting uplifting experience. Catch it before 5th April 2010.

I also saw the Robert Mapplethorpe exhibition in Sheffield a few weeks ago at the Graves Gallery which quietly surprised me, beautiful compositions in black and white of famous faces seen through a different angle. Catch it before 27th March 2010.
