Bright Lights
A while back, Rosemary suggested I check out the Volume temporary installation at the V&A museum here in London. I'm glad she did, otherwise I might have missed this amazing experience.
I managed to duck by one afternoon earlier this week just as it was getting dark —which is about 3:30pm— and stood for a while in the cool winter air, mesmerised by the shifting colours and sounds... It's a stunning sculpture. I was in a bit of a hurry so I'm planning a return visit to really sit down and soak it all in, and hopefully take some more photos.
I'll freely admit that I don't really get into most modern art but I did enjoy this piece, partly because it's such a hypnotic show it's hard not to be drawn in (literally) and walk in and around the poles.
Volume is sponsored by the Playstation 3, so I'm not sure if it'll be touring anywhere after its stay at the V&A in London, but if it does tour anywhere near you it's worth checking out.

Classic! Wish I was there! I knew about it via my friend Tom who posted about it here:

Somehow I doubt Perth won't make a tour list but you never know. If Basement Jaxx, the Beastie Boys and The Gotan Project can find us perhaps this will too...
