I really liked these two. A concave stainless steel, well, mirror, really by Anish Kapoor and a dichroic light sculpture by Olafu Eliasson. For the rest ... call me old-fashioned but I just couldn't see the point. A lot of porn, lots of repeating ideas clumped together in identical frames, gaudy daubs by people who didn't seem to know what paint is, and above all badly made stuff rather poorly presented. Two examples below: Some badly glued together twigs that the gallery chap spent ages trying to get to stand upright; responding to a question, he said it was a sculpture representing 'fragility and hesitation' ... hmmm. And the other picture is of visible workings of a not-very-interesting moving sculpture. I suppose they think people don't actually look at art in its setting.
