It's an unspeakably ugly concrete nightmare put up by nasty 70s puritans. Adjacent to the ugly, essential, National Film Theatre. Central.

i'm quite tempted and the morley thing on bbc4 t'other night whetted my appetite further.

i am, however, rubbish at going to art...

yeah the morley thing made me keen as mustard too.
ace how lichtenstein said he had to 'see beyong his own taste'
to make his best known work. astonishing that he + warhol were doing
such like-minded stuff at the same time, and how shocking
what they were doing was considered to be by the estblshmnt.

who doesn't love those crying girls paintings?

rubbish at going to art? What, you walk past the entrance?

God, totally. Also films, plays, TV series.

i was down the South Bank on Thursday night (for London Eye purposes tho, not this art thing) and will probably return to check out the Liechtenstein exhib. I used to think the buildings were ugly but now I quite like them, esp. the interiors (that art deco docu - one of several - last year convinced me the NFT was good because of the 'stepped facade being an extension of the sloping rive embankment' - or something)
