Over the weekend me and the sister decided to pop over to the Barbican to take a wonder round the highly anticipated Basquiat exhibition, that I believe is the first major showing of his work to take place in London. Set in one of my (all time) favourite buildings in London- I’m a huge fan of the Brutalist architecture movement a la the Barbican, we didn’t let the grey skies stop us from taking some snaps just before we headed in.
The exhibition itself was pretty impressive, set over the whole of the art gallery area with a range of mediums on display including some polaroids of some famous icons- Madonna, Debbie Harry and Andy Warhol *to name a few*. It has definitely made me want to shoot more in film, in my photography work.
Also a little tip, if you’re aged between 14-25 you can sign up for (free) on their “Young Barbicans” scheme meaning, that the exhibition ticket was only £5, instead of £16.
