Culture

In an attempt to occasionally do something else in the weekend than [a] sleep in and stay in bed [b] go to clubs and get trashed I actually managed to get out and see the Damien Hirst exhibition at the Saatchi Gallery last Saturday

Sorry. It just came to mind

Munquie went to a Killing Miranda gig last year with another LJ'er...

Meep!

I took you to an art show on Thursday and it didn't even get a mention! And it was a damn sight better than that talentless, pretentious wanker Hirst; if someone shot him, the world would be an infinitisemally culturally richer place. The man is a piece of exploitative scum. Hate hate hate. Same goes for Emin and probably Chris Ofili (he's the elephant-dung man).

You liked some of Thursday's stuff enough to buy it!

And if it's not clear, she did go to D&B...

We'll just have to agree to disagree on Hirst and the rest, I'm afraid.

I didn't really expect to enjoy the Saatchi exhibition nearly as much as I did, that's why I bothered to write about it! I knew I'd enjoy the art show on Thursday as I'd seen Julia's pictures on the web.

I understand your take on modern art. I visited the (US) National Gallery with my sister last month, and the modern art floor there left me pretty unimpressed too.

(And apropos to nothing, it's good to see a post from you!)
