I'm currently sitting on a couch in Tate Modern. I quite like that about this gallery. There are couches everywhere, just for you to sit and be pensive. It's a good way just to soak up the atmosphere.
Susan was going to come with me today, but she wasn't in the mood. Totally understand. Art galleries only work when you are in the mood to appreciate them. Just that the melancholy that I am is generally always in the mood.
These galleries remind me of the ones at Fed Square or the Arts Centre. More modern. Wooden floorboards, white walls, simple frames. (as opposed to rich carpets, dark red walls and carved golden frames, such as in the one I visited in Edinburgh).
I've only visited one gallery so far, the dreams and surrealism gallery. I don't know what else I expected, but it was so abstract. And some of it was pretty disturbing. And some of the artworks were really deep, some were just a few scribbles passed off as genius, with extravagent descriptions that made you think "...really?"
I think I prefer classical art. Although now I am inspired to go buy a little A5/A6 art diary to draw little fine-liner drawings.
I think I have it me to do one more gallery, before my 21st century attention span gives up on me.
