I went to two different venues of the British art Show in Plymouth. I wasn't blown away by it, as it was mostly (Post)Modern work that I like but don't want anything to do with. If it was up to me I'd be going to the Artist Corner at a convention, but then again that depends on who's got a slot there. Anyhow- the one thing that has stuck with me the most from what I did see from the show, was the dark rooms they set up for playing the films. I don't know if this was intentional as it was completely different the next time I went in there(and I hope people don't laugh at me for this) but the last room right at the end of the corridor was a large and pitch black empty room with a song playing at full blast. I think the song was either by Aha or the Pet shop Boys. It was most probably this
but I have a feeling it wasn't. Now I'm going to be stuck thinking about what it was for ages now, but its a song that I've always heard in unfitting situations, and again this fitted the criteria of a strange situation. A odd, but fun and slightly terrifying situation, that defiantly got that reaction out of me, so I legged it. I don't know if this was actually an intentional part of the show, but I loved it, and if I made a Art show myself I'd want something like that in it. Heres the website to the show http://www.britishartshow.co.uk/
Edit: I've thought about it and had a revelation the song was actually You were always on my mind- Pet shop boys.
