Today we visited the Frameless exhibition in London. It looked amazing online, so we went to see if it was as good irl (in real life), as I think the kids say.
Well, it certainly was. It is an underground set of rooms where moving visions of famous pictures are projected on to all of the walls, the ceiling and the floor. They also move around, and at first it's very disconcerting.
There were four separate galleries and the first was called Beyond Reality. The pictures all swirled around and were set to music. It lasted for about 20 minutes before it got back to the beginning and was superb.
The next gallery was modern art and was the least good in our opinion.
The third room was fantastic. Each scene started with all of the brush strokes on the ground and they gradually floated up the walls to make the picture. While they were on the ground you could walk through it and kick the brush strokes around.
That probably doesn't make sense unless you can see it.
They were mainly impressionist paintings including Van Gogh and Monet.
The final room was the biggest and the paintings wrapped all around the room. As we walked in the Fighting Temeraire was being towed by a paddle steamer with smoke coming out of the chimney and the wheels going round as it gradually got closer.
The scenes of Venice and the great wave in front of Mount Fuji were also highlights of a fantastic show.
A great afternoon.
