Walking in My Mind



Finally caught the 'Walking in My Mind' exhibition at the Hayward Gallery, London on Friday just in time before it closed on Sunday .  Fantastic installations of mindscapes by 10 artists, taking us on to a journey through mental processes if creativity. Weirdly wonderful...and wonderfully weird. My favourite was Chiharu Shiota's installation After the Dream, which was a dense web-like structure created with wool thread creating a floor to ceiling mesh. In the centre of this jungle-like mesh were five white dresses suspended  seemingly hovering in air, almost as if they were dancin. Beautiful, intriguing and vaguely disturbing. Here are some images

Yayoi Kusama's installation on the terrace

Yayoi Kusama's art originates from her hallucinations. Polka dots are a central feature of her work.

Thomas Hischhorn made a tunnel like installation that led into different 'rooms' where books, photographs, foil covered mannequins were kept.
