How to Improve the World: 60 Years of British Art

This was on at the Hayward Gallery, but we went towards the end of the run and I've only now got to write a bit about it. So its finished - but it was good and you can still check out the website at:

The exhibition presented work from the Arts Council collection - a kind of highlights of the last 60 years of acquisitions encompassing painting, sculpture, video, photography and digital media... and 130 artists. The Hayward space is very well suited for this type of exhibition and presented a diverse range of work really well. Highlights for me included Hockney's We Two Boys Together Clinging, (which made me really keen to see his current exhibition at the National Portrait Gallery - sadly too crowded to endure last Saturday) ; Steve McQueen's video work Bear?; Cerith Wyn Evans Diary: How to Improve the World (You will only make matters worse) continued 1968 (revised) from 'M' writings '67-72 by John Cage; Sarah Lucas's Self-Portraits; and the photograph covered by a large sheet which you had to crawl under to see the work itself (artist and work name both escape me, but it was fun!).
