The Walker Art Gallery in Liverpool has a collection of Lilly Savage's dresses exhibition. Very impressive it is too. It's great to see art inspiring artisans.
Art Gallerys and Museums, of which Liverpool has dozens, have become the hallowed wet day out for yummy mummys, with excellent pies for £3.95, and a cup of tea for 80p.
It is amazing that you feel spiritually uplifted and awed after a visit, but I suspect that the feeling is a learned resonse from school days. It would be interesting to see what young people less indoctrinated with Victoriana and 'Modern Art' ie the 1930s feel about them.
Bozkat?

Saw the Lily Savage costumes. Horrible crap.
Hadn't seriously thought about the obvious classification into eras before, it's been a natural assumption from years of art books and art history lessons innit? Like books about church or vernacular architecture, or fashion or classical music.
So, galleries divided into thematic areas reflecting different types of ideas and emotions. Novel. And exciting. Bring it on.
And "Oh yah", special rooms where yummy mummies challenge those who label them as such.

JJ,
OK then. Overdressed middle class females teaching their children excessive consumption of designer clothes and pushchairs, whilst utilising the facilities provided by the local tax payers to gather in noisy cliques and make a mess all over the floors and tables of dining areas, whilst pretending a level of culture which has less to do with the educational value of their visits than with posing before their acquaintances.
Is that better than Yummy Mummys?
Actually I don't object to them at all. They and their children are at least decorative, and at best raising aspirations by making the Walker and other museums fashionable.
he most bizarre meeting place for the most YMs I have seen in one place is the British War Museum in Chelsea. Chatting with your pals whilst the squeakers play in the machine gun in the tank????? Could it be that strange smell of plastic fumes that Silver Cross push chairs exude removes their sense of the ironic. It could it be that there are not many places in Chelsea selling State subsidised lattes.

I just read the article. I would love to visit to a gallery arranged around (an interpretation of) human experience and aspiration. There is an installation at the moment near me which I am hoping to get to, called 'know yourself' (känn dig själv), an experience exhibition about human emotion. Click on the button to see it in English. http://www.varldskulturmuseet.se/smvk/jsp/polopoly.jsp?d=863&a=20842 |
