Climing the Hayward Gallery

Loads of interesting stuff going on round the Southbank. I thought it must all be connected with the diamond jubilee this weekend, but it's the 'Southbank festival of the world'.

I don't normally get modern art too well, preferring more representative stuff. Very boring I know... Anyway, I thought this was great, and this is what is officially said about it:

Two large figures scale Hayward Gallery. One seems to be helping the other, but who is helping whom?

The London-based arts collective Robots>>>>, who build large sculptures from recycled and reclaimed materials, have made these figures predominantly from wood and steel used at Southbank Centre's 2011 Festival of Britain.

Everything Is Beautiful When You Don't Look Down was made with help from children at the Oasis Children's Venture, a safe play space for young people in the London Borough of Lambeth.

Who knows what the robots will do when they reach their destination?

Now looking forward to a nice long weekend with walking in the countryside!
