A bit of a creepy blip before bedtime! I'd actually gone to Hyde Park this afternoon to see/take a photo of a giant statue of Mr. Darcy that has been placed in the Serpentine. I walked all the way around the lake, looking for it, but didn't spot it! These scary looking blow up dolls were peering out of the windows of the Serpentine Gallery in Kensington Gardens today and don't quite match up to Mr. Darcy's looks, more like Englebert Humperdinck I'd say!

Cut/paste time again...

"Conceptual art is more about the ideas behind it than the content of the art itself, and Elaine Sturtevant is a conceptual artist whose work uses images from popular culture and other artists to ponder the nature of art. She has been around long enough to have been ahead of her time for decades and only now is the world catching up with her ideas. Copied clips, endless small repetitions: if this sounds like contemporary information technology overload, this artist has been making such work since the 60s, and continues to examine and expose the way we understand images. Within the gallery we see a line of blow up dolls, their backs, while passers-by see their faces from the outside, a plaintive, ridiculous view. Sometimes Sturtevant's work defies complete definition and is deliberately enigmatic"
