July 2011: London Southbank

I was invited to a exhibition at London Southbank and took the liberty to take some photographs of this little sojourn.

Well, that’s a long hump Smile with tongue out

Some rather extraordinary road sculpture.

The shard being constructed

This was a strange sculpture

Walking around below the sculpture.

Standing tall with the cranes

This says, "Don't applaud. Just throw money." This statue is an animatronic statue, it changes its shape depending upon what the passerby’s do. I tried to wave my hands and arms but nothing happened. Strange but very interesting.

Photobucket

The back end of the tate modern.

Photobucket

Its like a scene out of a Soviet or Nazi horror movie.

Signs.

Walking around the side.

Trees in front of the Tate Modern.

Can you see the sheer monstrosity?

Walking around and looking at St. Paul’s in the background.

A wall full of ivy

The wobbly bridge, a Thames river boat and St. Paul’s.

The wobbly bridge is now in view

Peering back at the Tate.

Its fairly flimsy

With these steel struts

Inside the Tate, queuing up for the ticket.

The sign in the elevator

The gallery.

There are some books here which explain the various schools of art, specially contemporary art. I have to tell you, its not me.

Photobucket

This is an erm exhibit.

And we end with a dead mouse. Welcome to London.
