Franz West

Strange exhibition at Tate Modern looking at the work of the sculptor Franz West. I loved the effect of this work and the vistas that were set up across the gallery however I wasn’t convinced by the work itself and found it a bit messy looking. I went a couple of weeks ago and must admit I’m finding it hard to remember the work as I sit and write this. It’s not really stuck with me. There was a strange section where they had recreated some of his interactive works and you could handle and interact with them but I found it a little odd that they’d set up two curtained areas for you to do this in! I’m not sure I want to shut myself away in an exhibition and wave some plaster covered everyday objects around. I’m obviously an old fashioned exhibition viewer! I did like the big works that have been placed in landscapes and it was fun to see one outside at the Tate. A lot of the work seemed to need space and light around them rather than being shut in a room. Closes on 2...
