Task 4

Late last year I went with a friend to Jeff Koons’ exhibition in London. I am not particularly a fan of his work but I was interested in seeing it nonetheless (plus it was free!). When I got there one of the first things I saw was one of his balloon sculptures.

 Since it was a year ago I had to rack my brain a bit to remember everything, but I think after this there was another room with his sculptures. I get the appeal of them aesthetically but other than that I don’t really find them that interesting. In the following room I was a bit startled because I had no idea he had done pornographic art which I found was a huge contrast from his very light-hearted sculptures. I did not really stop to look at that work too much and continued on to the rest of the gallery.

My favourite piece of this exhibition was a huge play-dough like sculpture which I think was made out of something more durable. I really wanted to reach out and touch it but obviously I couldn’t.

 We went through this exhibition quite quickly and I think it was overall very nice for spending a half an hour in.
