Antony Gormley is one of my creative heroes. In the video at the end of this RA link about the exhibtion and he says that ‘the viewer is the subject of the show’. Worth listening to.
When I go to see an art exhibition I usually whizz round to get a sense of the whole, then I go back and spend time with the pieces I’m drawn to, 
then I go round again and take photos of the pieces,
then I go round again and notice how other people are interacting with the exhibits
This is one of my favourite things to do
Here is an excellent review by Studio International
I hope you enjoyed people watching with me.
At a few exhibitions recently I have started to take photos of people who go with the paintings they are viewing and then I came across this amazing post about Stefan Draschan’s work, take a look – fascinating.

Yes! Wonderful pictures of the people at the exhibit. You made it seem as though they were part of the exhibit. In a way, they were, don’t you think?

Yes, definitely Laurie, and I think from what he says, Antony Gormley would agree with you.

It ends on 3.December.
You have to book a time slot in advance.
Well worth a visit. The logistics of setting up such an exhibition alone make it a marvel – it has to be seen to be believed.

Your photos are so interesting, I love seeing the interaction, especially after listening to the artist on the video.

Ah, thank you Kathy – you have jogged me into looking again for that video – so good to find it again. I love what he says. And the video gives a perspective I could not give. ❤

She was the smallest of three liitle ones who were having great fun and trying to take a photo of his willy! But I was too late to capture that. 🙂

Oh my that was fun. I loved the lady’s dress in the first picture, and the chap with the braces and the alpine scene made me giggle. I must remember to linger by exhibitis if I match just to add an extra dimension for others.

It would be fun to set some up – I’m just running a little fantasy scenario in my mind of us going to exhibitions and both dressing up to go with exhibits. 🙂 🙂

Well, that’s brought people watching to a whole new level. Fascinating but he must have so much patience – you could wait weeks before somebody came in wearing a lookie likie monet painting dress.

I looked at his website – he has a collection of photos of people asleep in Museums too. He must spend ages in them spotting themes of behaviour.

Will try again to leave a comment this time via Google, so it’s me Deb in case it shows up. I also am inspired by Antony Gormley. Unfortunately, when I visited Another Place on Crosby Sands I did not have my camera!

Yes! You got through Deb!
You didn’t have your camera?????! That is not like you.
I haven’t been to Crosby Sands yet – it’s on my list.

In truth, it was my pre digital days and my old SLR came with too much kit and caboodle to lug along with everything else on a 6 hour train journey. Now it hardly ever leaves my side!

It is the journey there that puts me off – sooooooooo far away! I would have to have at least 3 other reasons to go there. 🙂
