Sorry for the misleading name but you will find some posts that are specifically about walking in London. The rest is the other stuff I get up to.

Gormlies

Standing on the skyline
The Hayward gallery have an exhibition of Anthony Gormley's work at the moment, and as a part of it, there are 30 sculptures which are casts of the artist's body dotted around the buildings on both sides of waterloo bridge.

According to artsline this exhibition, called Event Horizon is part of Gormley's large scales installation at the Hayward that

"dramatically engage with the gallery’s architecture and directly solicit the viewer’s engagement ... Addressing fundamental questions of the body and space, appearance and disappearance, transformation and transcendence..."


I have absolutely no idea what that means, but I have to admit that the strange Gormlies are pretty cool, and make for some very unusual photographic opportunities.
