photographie

today i went to bexhill to see 'unpopular culture' - a selection of works from the Arts Council by Grayson Perry (who also had two of his pieces on display). The works are all modern (i'd say post WWII though the 70's mainly, not like MODERN modern) and are all sort of nostalic and a bit somber. It's supposed to be exactly what you don't think of when you think of this period of art. I think most of the pieces were lovely, especially the photography.

here is one of my favorite artists:
thurston hopkins

actually this wasn't in the show but i couldn't find the one i liked best online so i picked this, a new one, instead.

oh and about grayson perry.
one of the big reasons I am into Grayson Perry is because he has a transvestite alter ego named Claire (like Bruno and Rodrigo). And also that his alter ego is a little girl and not some bizarro version of a woman aka almost every other tranny ever.


He is also an amazing artist and does things in mediums that i think are really interesting and fairly unexplored (i.e. embroidery and painted pottery). He also won the Turner Prize in 2003.
