I have attended several exhibitions to help inform my FMP discussion and get a deeper sense of the pathways I could take on doing so. I visited The Photographers Gallery to initially see ‘Shot in Soho’ which is a series of images, posters and documentation from the West End by several different artists. I really enjoyed this exhibition and it really proved some ideas that I have discussed in my Sketchbook. I also went to see ‘A Feast for the Eyes” which was less related to my work but did make me consider colour and texture more in my own images.

I then attended the Royal Academy to see Antony Gormley which I really enjoyed. The sculptor had a multitude of different pieces on display- my favourite room was titled ‘Lost Horizons’ which displayed his famous ‘body cases’ that are better known from the installation on British beaches titles ‘Land Sea and Air”. This provoked my thoughts about layouts, space and dimensions of my own piece. I really wanted to see the Lucien Freud exhibition, however tickets were sold out!

I then visited the free exhibitions at the Tate Modern, including the Nan Goldin exhibit. I was slightly disappointed at the size of the exhibit and at the fact that most of the images were digital- However I am a big fan of her work so I was happy to have gone!

I also visited the Amsterdam Sex Museum where I was educated and entertained! I came across a small display of Playboy Magazines, playing cards, other Adult Magazines and a display featuring corsets and undergarments.
