Current exhibitions in London …

I’ve had a bit of time off work over the last couple of weeks, and so have been moseying around in London and actually going to a few exhibitions including …

The Listening Post installation at the Science Museum, which was quite a cool piece of artwork by Mark Hansen and Ben Rubin (though apparently it has been around for a few years now) which pulls in thousands of posts from internet chatrooms and displays them in hundreds of LED boxes with different scenes rather like different movements in a symphony.

The Street & Studio exhibit at the Tate Modern which looks at the history of street photography alongside studio photography and how they’ve both developed over the years – this was kinda interesting though I did find some of the work wasn’t always all that, though I did like the ‘Hyena’s and Other Men’ photos by Pieter Hugo.

Finally I saw the Viktor & Rolfe exhibit at the Barbican – I have to confess I know very little about couture fashion design, but nevertheless it was really interesting, these guys come up with some pretty mad ideas!

Anyway am off to Paris tomorrow for the day, then on Sunday I’m flying of to NYC for 10 days which I’m REALLY looking forward to!
