Very very long walk for two shows



I think I've got way too much time on my hands :) but cherish it now because I think soon I wont have just as much time to go see so many art things, other than my own.
So today I took a long walk around the west side, (pictures here). Started in Knightsbridge, walked to Royal Collage of Art to see their second year MA painting exhibit. Not too exciting, horrible actually. Two pieces that were ok but other than that very depressing and the building is horribly ugly. I am no longer upset that they didnt take me. From there I walked to Notting Hill, through lots of wrong turns, but finally arrived at the Portobello Market, its fun and all but still, too many people on a Saturday. Then I took a few turns north and managed to pass by Richard Serras drawing exhibit at the Gagosian. Beautiful. Heavy, thick ink. And from there I walked to Wallace Collection to see the illustration show of Osbert Lancaster, only it had already closed at 5pm so I'll have to go back another day. 

Have yet to pass by Hayward to see Andy Warhol and Robin Rhode.
