Tate Modern's latest shows

FUTURISM
CRW Nevinson Bursting Shell, 1915
Jacob Epstein Rock Drill, 1913-14
Umberto Boccioni States of Mind: The Farewells; Those Who Go; Those Who Stay, 1911

and
PER KIRKEBY
Flight into Egypt, 1996


I loved both, but preferred Futurism because I feel more for art with something to say. Although admittedly Per Kirkeby's massive canvases of the strata of Greenland geology were simultaenously stunning and addictive.

Exams are over... so the blog is back.

A few weeks ago I returned to the exhibition that was by far the highlight of my year. "Mythologies" at the Haunch of Venison's new spot in London inspired me to look more towards contemporary art. Occupying the stunning space behind the RA which used to house the ethnographical oddity-filled Museum of Mankind, an outpost of the British Museum. In keeping with this theme, the artworks range from the fantastical through the natural and arriving at an addictive tension between tradition and surprise.
