I went to a beautiful exhibition today! I wasn't sure what to expect, but the Yoko Ono exhibition at BALTIC was everything I could have hoped for. My favourite elements were the interactive pieces, like this tree:
Olive trees covered in fragrant blossoms, and hung with visitor's wishes on tags.
I thought this wish was genius - who wouldn't want a Nigella-pony?
On the top floor viewing room, there was another interactive piece called Mend, in which visitors broke cups and saucers and put them back together again with the glue, string, and paper provided:
Visiting art galleries always soothes me. This morning was an exciting house-hunt, and I fell in love with the second house we viewed. It could still be taken or disagreed on, and I don't want to get my hopes up, so a walk along the Quayside and a visit to the beautiful BALTIC was perfect to take my mind off it. There was also a Tyneside extension of Miranda July's Learning To Love You More assignments; the photographs, sculptures and paintings were heart-warming and inspiring.
