EP 36 : London, UK : APOCALYPSE, Beauty & Horror - Is This The End? : 18/09/2000

Art Seeker Stories: A postcard from London UK :

My artist journey and travels as an art seeker, a culture vulture, a 20 something trolly dolly. My diary edit, nostalgically looking back, 22 years to the day - today.

I take a trip to London to the Royal Acadamy and catch the crest of the wave as it begins to fall. This is Saatchi decade’s follow up show to ‘Sensation’, Apocolypse, Beauty and Horror in Contemporary Art, ironically before much of it disappears for good, up in smoke.

22 years later, Art in London still shocks, and doesn't. The messages are still the same. There is space for everyone to be included, no matter who you are or what you believe, it's all about expression, if you desire, you carve your path.
For now, London is in mourning for Our Queen Elizabeth II, tomorrow she'll be laid to rest.
