The Unmistakable Feeling of Being “Whelmed”
Tate Modern The building has long been a favorite of mine as a shining example of adaptive reuse.

#4 Tate Modern and Beauty that Hurts
There’s a kind of loveliness that’s almost too overwhelming to look at directly, and walking through rooms and rooms of hearts in bold color, beating in canvases, beating in clusters surrounding them, at the Tate Modern today made me a little dizzy—if I’m allowed to be a bit sappy and sentimental for a while.

Tate Modern and Other Updates
I dislike modern and postmodern art. Much of it is empty, either affecting the disappointment of the artist or pushing the boundaries of artistic methods for no other reason than to do so. I’m of the opinion that art needs to affect people, and why not effect them positively? Or if you want to make …
Blog #3: The Tate Modern Exhibition
