I remember going to the Tate gallery last year when I was in Level 2 and by returning to the same gallery in Level 3 I noticed that most of the art work was the same as last years, so it was difficult to be inspired. But I did manage to find many different are pieces and discovered many artists.

The first room had a bus inside. You where allowed to sit inside the bus, I was lucky enough to sit in the drivers seat at one point. The bus came with sound effects of road work, I guess to give the impression like the bus is moving.

Mountain Lake, an oil painting made by Salvador Dali in 1938. Dali used multiple images to question what is real and what is not. It reflects the artist’s life in public evens.

Casserole and closed mussels. It was made by Marcel Broodthaers, a 3D model of real mussels stacked like a tower on a pot. The mussels are a popular dish in Belgam and it reminds the artist of his home land.

I was fascinated and moved by the meaning behind the picture The house of my father by Donald Rodney. The photo is mounted on aluminium. It meant ” having to live within a structure hopelessly unable to sustain itself”.  The fascinating part was that the small house is made of skin removed from Rodney in operations for the sickle cell anaemia which was to kill him only a year later, aged 37. They were having a black history talk in one of the studios to discuss art and asking “Why aren’t there many artists who are black?”

I was quite intrigued by this one sculpture. The statue is called Michelangelo’s David made by Sir Eduardo Paolozzi. The statue is a head of Michelangelo David that had been cut into pieces and been put together with pieces of ply wood and string in-between the gaps of the face. I was fascinated by it because I’am really interested in human faces and detail.

I like the statue called Venus of the Rags also made by Michelangelo Pistoletto. It’s a sculptures of an over-life sized classical statue of the Roman goddess of love that has been stuffed into a large pile of old clothes.

On the top floor there was a whole studio dedicated to Kieth haring’s art work. It was full of famous paintings of his pop art on canvases, the walls, on chalk boards and even stone. Much of his work responded to contemporary social and political events. This was the first painting I noticed on the top floor. Apparently these two painting were inspired by Disney and Dr Seuss.

I noticed that one of Kieth Haring’s paintings is based on a historical event. He painted a picture based on Nelson Mandela’s 70th birthday.
