Magnetism by Ahmed Mater




Exhibition - Hajj, Journey to the heart of Islam
The British Museum
London
Until 15th April 2012

As I was flicking through what was being displayed, I came across this minimal sculpture.
I fell in love with the way the holy pilgrim has been portrayed, in such a powerful yet delicate manner.
How the Ka'abah in Makkah draws in the Muslims as does a magnet to iron filings.

I would really love to go see this exhibition, however nearer to home in Manchester there is an exhibition on at Whitworth Art Gallery which coincides with this one called 'The Devils Wall by Idris Khan'.
And there will be a talk on the 13th of April by 'Ahmed Mater' and I definitely hope to go to that.

CLEAR THE M I N D


T-Shirt by H&M (Mens)

Thought I would post this as I loved the subtleness of the typography.

The Mending Project by Beili Liu







In a silent room, a woman sat under suspended scissors, mending cloth which has been torn and passed by visitors.
I love how unusual the atmosphere would have been in this installation. Amazing!
