Sternbau No.3 - Lee BulSuper weird interior shenanigans and Ernesto Neto's web-like wonderland keep us smiling. Two more smashing shows from the Hayward continue a fantastic run of OTT art experiences. Bravo!
The New Decor - this exhibition features work by 30 artists and explores the evolution of interior and exterior environments. Madness and lack of structure take over as this carnival of crazy demonstrates just how twisted our interiors could become! (Favorite pieces are shown above and below)
Los Carpinteros - Cama
Ernesto Neto - The edges of the world - The immersive, sensory installations of Ernesto Neto transform the upper spaces of the Hayward, both inside and out. These meshy structures fill the Gallery like huge day-glow cocoons - springy, sexy and quite beautiful. One big problemo - far too many kids running about, felt more like a creche - grrrrr! (Favorite installations are shown below)
The edges of the world - gallery installations
Both shows get a big fat 10 out of 10
