Okay so its not exactly a book review. But they have books there so it counts, I think. And they have DESIGN books. Especially about Banksy and Pop art. Give me one of them and I will love you forever :) For people unfamiliar with the Baltic its a converted flower mill in NewastleGateshead which has become a gallery for contemporary art. And I should have a world record for spending an hour in the gift shop alone. Books+little gadget-y things I'm never going to need+ lots of souvenirs that I don't need cause I practically live next to it= a very happy me. To me art and literature are on the same boat. Same goes with fashion, music etc.. Its all about self expression, and I love self-expression. The thing that captivates me is the way that a little creativity can make something that seems perfectly ordinary come alive. I'm the secret artist, the one without a particular talent but with an eye for what works, I think. I'm creative in my own little way, looking at art and evaluating it. Unfortunately the galleries were closed but I did get to go outside and watch the Millennium Bridge rotate. In all my years living here I have never seen it. And it was worth it.
I agree :) Self-expression is self-expression. Be it writing, fashion or music!
ReplyDeleteI assume you're a book lover, if so, WOO! :)
Thanks for the follow.
Hello! Thanks for following. Totally agree with you on expressing through art. Sometimes art understands you better than human. I'm not that much of a creative person, but do adore art.
ReplyDeleteHope to see you in your creative side someday. =)!
