Black President.
Went to see the "Black President" exhibition with Sacha and Lulu. Sacha is a reformed conceptual artist (reformed meaning precisely nothing in this context), so like me has an informed perspective on Modern Art. Lulu also has distinct ideas about what she likes too. We all thought it was rubbish. It looked like a very bad graduate show, the only thing worth clocking was a Chris Ofili picture and this piece of cover art:
In fact Sacha and I had been expecting the exhibition was going to be nothing BUT sleeve design and 'objets' from The Shrine, rather than an opportunity to assemble a load of African-themed off-cuts. Miss this.
