Tate window

Nice set up outside Tate Modern in one of their windows which made a cool pic I think. I've been looking for the explanation of this on the website, trying to figure out what it means but I couldn't find it. Next time I go by (probably within a week) I'll ask and let you know. The words I can make up are "languages, speaks, loud squeaky voice". Quite curious to get info on it.

Also on in Tate Modern now is the big black box by Miroslaw Balka. I highly recommend to just walk in. Don't spoil it for yourself and use a mobile to find your way, or look back, or use a flash camera. It's a sensational experience, in the way that it tickles your senses. You can only see a bit (after adapting to the almost pitch black), what you hear sounds slightly different, and you end up putting your hands where you're going to not bump into someone or hitthe wall. Once you reach the back, turn around. It's cool how much you can see then, all of a sudden you literally see the light and see just about everything and you're back to normal. Very cool.

I've also visited the Pop Life exhibition. My companion hated it, I loved it, but then again, I'm a Pop Art fan. It is indeed a celebration of pop culture which is what makes it so controversial. The funniest display to me was the video of Kirsten Dunst "turning Japanese", a video that was a collaboration between director McG and artist Takashi Murakami, whose style I recognized from Kanye West his album's artwork. Even funnier, I tried to find it on YouTube and I noticed that I wasn't the only one looking for it judging by the comments of people who saw the clip at Tate and as myself could only find a series of pictures of Kirsten Dunst during the shooting. Well there you go, if that isn't pop culture ... People see exhibit, find something they like, look for it online on the most popular video website YouTube so they could at least find or even own a copy, can't find it but comment on it and on each other's posts therefore communicating with strangers across the world about one object that is the embodiment of pop culture ... Think about it.

You'll find out in my blogs: I like pop culture, and I'm not afraid to say it :)!
