I wish I had more interesting things to say about the Turner Prize exhibition, but I was so tired that it was very difficult to get into it at first. I kind of breezed through Dexter Dalewood's room and stood in the Otilith Group room for a little while, but after feeling myself slowly succumb to sleep, I decided the best thing to do was to move on. It wasn't until I got to Angela Dela Cruz's room that I became interested. I found her work to be very human-like in appearance and arrangement and that definitely appealed to me. For example, the black piece on the floor made me think of someone feeling very defeated, very broken, and kind of abused-- something I'm sure everyone has or will feel at some point.
Susan Philipsz work struck me as well, for the same reasons mentioned in the previous post; how she uses sound and lyrics to transform a space and add depth to it.
I'm looking forward to the next trip to the Tate Britain, when I won't be falling asleep every other minute =]
