In hindsight, this is what I learnt. I believe that first and foremost, art should
speak for itself. It should stand alone
without the need for lucid interpretations with pretentious
justifications. A famous name does not
guarantee great art. Ever heard of the
expression ‘a one hit wonder’?
Ironically, my favourite visual experience was part
of the building itself. Four gallery
exhibition rooms which were each painted in a bold yet complementary
colour. They had their doorways
centrally aligned so that by standing in the middle of the first green room,
you could see through in to the second blue room, then through to the third red
room and then through this last doorway into the fourth black room. The striking contrast of these bold colours
disappearing into the distance was astounding.
Pity about the art blemishing the walls.
