And also visit three galleries/museums before I start University, which I now have a date for (12th of September at 9:00am).
This time, we did a very small venture into Nottinghams city centre, I also got lost trying to find the Gallery as I though I knew what I was doing but I was clearly mistaken on quite a large scale. Luckily though, we asked some locals and it turned out that we where only around the corner from it... But I actually insisted that we walked the other way, so I have to admit that I am somewhat of a moron.
So when we eventually got there, I didn`t even know what Exhibition was on and David obviously had to go and make his mark in the bathroom... I`m beginning to slowly think that It`s becoming some sort of ritual wherever we go now.
Also, if no one knows; David and I met up one weekend,
the month break that we`ve had has really helped us both out and we`re both a lot less stressed and in each others faces. So this was our first proper day out together as a couple again, which also means that next month will be our two year anniversary together! Trust me, there where a lot of tears, hugs and crying uncontrollably like a large baby, but we spoke about things, our current situations,
our stresses and our worries about University (since that was what was stressing us both out the most when we went on our break). We`ve sorted things out, again. Being a month away from him and trying to sort things out slowly and speaking only on the odd occasion made me miss him a wholeeee lotttt more. It wasn`t that I was just missing being in a relationship, I missed him, literally everything about him and everything in my bedroom reminded me of him; I had so many framed pictures of me and him, and a book full of photos of me and him, just the simple things made me realize that I was actually supposed to be helping him and not leaving him
to face things on his own that where stressing him out. We`re both not as stressed now, and we`re trying to still stay out of each others faces to give each other a bit of space, but my family has missed him a lot and they`re all happy we`ve finished our break now.Enough of that though!
The day was really fun, we did quite a bit of shopping before we went over to the Gallery, and it was nice to spend some time together again. David was hilarious walking around the Exhibition. As you most of you should know, I do fine art and David does Illustration... So he actually thought that the exhibition was hilarious to walk around, he did enjoy it a lot but he was confused about the whole piece
and the production of it, that kind of thing. In the end though he did enjoy it and I really enjoyed it all. The piece itself is environmentally sensitive, so it`s all been built to fit the room it`s in and was all constructed inside of that room so it fits everything perfectly, the only downside is that if this was to go to another gallery then it would have to be modified to fit rooms and ceilings and stuff. The whole piece was made out of just fishing
nets (I think), papers and cardboards covered in inks. There was some make shift scaffolding in one area with little statues and pots, and huge lanterns made out of wire mesh and... Well I want to say tissue paper with layers of PVA glue because it felt like paper but it was also extremely shiny. Along with giant walls made out of paper and covered in netting, photos, sofas made out of paper, scaffolding, pottery, videos of how
they made the piece and giant lanterns; there was also a large carpeted area that you could walk on if you took your shoes off, this was like rolls of fabric that was all strung together with chunky string. The image at the top is me sat on it, it was very comfy and I kept whenever we went by it. It really is impressive, the way everything fits together perfectly and it`s all on a huge scale.
If your in the Nottingham or Derby area, then Nottingham contemporary is free.
It`s also one of those places that you have to go too to appreciate it, the exhibition space was very, very big and it`s hard to appreciate it just through me telling you what it was like for me.
If your near the area then go and check out the Contemporary, it`s free and open all through the summer. If you don`t live nearby, then check out Michael Beutlers work online!
