Saatchi Middle East Adventure
20-02-2009

Visited the Saatchi gallery today to see the new Middle East art exhibition. The quality was high as usual although there was not the ridiculous shock factor of multiple waxwork dead bodies like at the last collection.
My favourite piece was this large concrete building block. Looked pretty boring from a distance, but up close there were all sorts of interesting details such as cracks and window frames and wirey bits sticking out.
Other works included some excellent scribbly messes that appeared to be quite violent in nature but very satisfying. Also a huge room full of praying lumps covered in foil.
The wheelchair-bound wax work OAPs still remained downstairs. I think they must have a residency there now.
