Hayward Gallery

Absolutely amazing.

The Hayward Gallery is full of surprises and I always enjoy the exhibitions. I have just been to the Mike Nelson exhibition with machines that are no longer in use and offices and rooms from the 70s. I was expecting a self righteous display of the end of planet earth. What a relief.

This review and rating relates to the current exhibition "Extinction Beckons" by Mike Nelson. For sure this is not your typical modern art gallery experience. Mike specialises in "installation" art and one of the key exhibits here is the maze of little rooms with connecting doors displaying collections of objects. Whilst his "art" arouses my curiosity and perhaps some amusement, I struggle to identify these displays with what I consider to be truly talented artistic productions. Can anything be considered as art ? Is art whatever a recognised artist produces ? Can there be any standards of finess and talent required for something to be deemed art. Give me the paintings in the National Gallery any day instead, and they are free to view. However, I still give the exhibition 3 stars for it's originality, but £16 is way too expensive ( to me it's worth half this) and I'm disappointed there is no pensioner discount.

Strange Clay exhibition was very strange as advertised. Well laid out and sensible timed entry. Good exposition of the myriad Clay forms and techniques.

The hayward gallery is a really special place. They do amazing installations inside and outside. It is a brutalist building for cutting edge modern art displays. It is located on the southbank in an exciting area. You do have to pay for entry however there are discounted rates and it is worth it as the displays are very very well done and large.

Visited this time for the Sugimoto Exhibition having been here several times before. It was excellent and well worth a visit. Pleased to say to that I haven't seen a bad thing here yet, the curation has always been excellent. Bookshop and Cafe are exactly as you would expect and are good value, staff all super friendly and helpful too. Toilets were clean and the brutalist building alone is worth a wander around.

The Hayward Gallery is always worth a visit despite the cavernous exhibition spaces many areas still feel intimate. The current show on until January 5th featuring a Hiroshi Sugimoto retrospective is no exception. Beautiful photographs perfectly curated across 3 floors it’s the perfect setting to see these amazing immersive images. Visited on Weekend Wait time No wait Reservation recommended No … More
