And so upstairs the private view continues at Tate Britain where you join me in my 3rd exhibition of the day on December 6th. I am afraid I know next to nothing about the sculptor Barry Flanagan, but from what I can see here at this Tate Britain exhibition Barry Flanagan works in a variety of materials, but mostly hessian, rope, sand and wood. Flanagan seems to be experimenting with perceptions of dimensions and textures and as with many contemporary artists this work is very much a cerebral affair. Alas, while I understand Flanagan's work, my cerebral engagement with his works leave me cold and without an emotional engagement.
