This weekend I went to a fabulous exhibition at the Gagosian Gallery in Kings Cross. It was an omage to JG Ballard's racy (e-hem) novel 'Crash'. What a fun and interesting exhibition it was! Mike
Nelson's Preface to the 2004 Edition (Triple Bluff Canyon) was a highlight (you walk through a door into a room that can only be described as a cinema's corridor and you think you've walked into a different building) and Paul McCarthy's 'Mechanical Pig' received a lot of attention (when you see it in the flesh you'll see why).
It's a lovely space and the exhibition was really well curated so if you're a lover of all things fast, sexy and, erm, wierd, then head on over to the Gagosian!
