murakami at versaille
i went to see versailles latest contemporary art installation at the weekend. with much controversy over the show with some claiming that Takashi Murakami's work detracts from the overall château de versailles experience, but it was a carefully considered exhibition, and indisputably adds provocative excitement and a fresh perspective. With many of the pieces included in the collection inspired by the historic site.

rude britannia : british comic art
this new exhibition at the tate looks really cool, i need to try to get back to london to see this. put together with some the country’s best-known cartoonists and comedy writers, this exhibition explores british comic art from the 1600s to the present day. bringing together a wide array of paintings, sculptures, film and photography, as well as graphic art and comic books, the exhibition celebrates a rich history of cartooning and visual jokes.
