| It's a sign |
Last night at the Serpentine to see preview of the new shows there - the way the twin gallery approach serves the visitor is very successful (in my judgement) -well worth taking the walk across Kensington gardens to see what was on offer.
As well as an exhibition by Craig-Martin there was a very different take on how modern practices are influencing life by young-ish New Zealander
Simon Denny at the Serpentine Sackler Gallery just a short walk away (more on this soon)

Michael Craig-Martin is known by many as the Godfather of the BritArt movement during his time tutoring at Goldsmiths in the 1980s
[Not only is he important in this role but he's an important figure in his own right in Conceptual Art - look at the work of his former student
Julian Opie]

| Capturing images of technology with technology |
Transience (on until February 14th 2016) is an exhibition of Craig-Martin's beautifully crafted Acrylic on canvas works. The topic in itself is a thoroughly engaging one with his identification of our
rapidly changing 'thing' dominated lives, echoes of
Patrick Caulfield resonate through the bright images (for me) like Caulfield the pictures are empty of people but here the works are almost obsessed with the technological accoutrements and artifacts that pass through modern life many of us lead
The paintings are really well displayed with bright backgrounds accentuating the stark near perfect images.
