Exhibitions and timeline


Wednesday - Exhibitions day!
Here we go: 
South Kensington 9:45 V&A 
The interesting things I find out: 
"Photographic Fictions"
Andy Wiener "Breakfast Scene" and "Childhood"


Looked funny for me because of the empty plates on breakfast and the same face in every photo. Looks like he is happy to spend all the life with himself.
 I saw the next photography in the exhibition which pays my attention: 
Julia Margaret Cameron "May Prinsep"



First I thought that she looks upset and a bit dangerous, but then I realized that it is the "moment of reading". May Prinsep was the niece and a frequent model Cameron's photographs. She presented her as a reader lost in thought, perhaps imagining  the story she just been reading. About the reading, I need a shelf for my books I saw one, looks interesting and unusual:








Memory Palace





After the exhibition I just went on my break and had so many thought in my head, just wrote everything down in my stretch book, couldn't draw just write. And only in Lithuanian language. I realized one thing about what the artist wanna tell us. Everywhere he is speaking about one person against all the world. About the power of minds for those the walls doesn't exist.
 My Cell was just a cell. to anyone else it must appear almost featureless. I populated it with the things I have been given to remember the cell began to grow. It was like pushing the walls outwards with my hands.


All the things I remember from my past I tried to draw it on a paper including the experience I gained in exhibitions and the things I saw where. You should recognize the niece, cell, exhibition and Andy Wiener's works.

 I tried to improve it a bit. We needed to create a timeline. I realized it suppose to be short one from the start of the week. But generally on your first day you are bringing 10 of the things which already are the memories of your all life.



Where is a new thing in my drawing which connected to the future now. The exhibition "Memory Palace" starts with the question: "if you could keep only one memory, what it will be? This is the question which I cant answer yet.



Its about the exhibitions. I never liked them to much. Maybe I was visiting the wrong ones, I never study art before so always found some work to do instead of visiting some gallery. When I came in London I been in British Museum first and in National Gallery. So V and A was my third one. Where are few exhibitions which I enjoyed, the pictures are on my blog already. The main one - Memory palace been a bit weird to me, its many things from diferent designers. I liked the memory palace I still remember that talking mouths on the screen, all I emeber is on my timeline. I think its just exhibition which lets you to escape from your routine for a few hours. I didnt like that it was a bit sad for me, all those words on the wals looked like walls in prison. At least I took some consider about my life.
