Late birthday jaunt, tickets for one of the last red-eye slots (2:15am) for the girls and I, and a willing night-driver. We set out at 10pm last night and got home at 6am, I don't think I've ever left an exhibition with so many backward glances. We cleared our cameras/phones and had sketchbooks ready but neither was permitted. Actually it made the whole experience all the more immersive and fragile, the sense of having to drink everything in.
I'm still too blown away to have anything critical to say, it was the most hypnotic and seductive invitation into an artists vision I've experienced, light, sound and performance elements alongside a truly magnificent array of costumes. There was a feeling of triumphant crescendo in the choreography of the exhibition, despite the sense of loss. Plus all the unsurpassed architecture of tailoring, diversity of materials, subversive humour and boundless vision. The exhibition runs until 2nd August 2015.
