Roman Holiday

After a week of midterms it's finally fall break in London! I'm headed to Italy and Barcelona next week and I might not be able to update, so I'll leave you with some pictures I took when my Business of Art class visited the Saatchi Gallery in London.
abstract art

This was my favorite part of the exhibit- a Chinese artist had recreated lifesize sculptures of political leaders from around the world. He aged them and placed them in wheelchairs to create a pseudo nursing home. The most interesting part of the piece was that the wheelchairs moved around the room and if the leaders had been allies they would avoid each other, but if the leaders had been enemies the statues would crash into one another.

    Hi Caroline-
    I went to the Saachi gallery once-I felt like it was really interesting-but way out there art-some of it kind of disturbing-that was when it was located right by the London Eye.
    Have lots of fun on fall break and be careful! Keep the posts coming!
    love-
    mom
