We went to Tate Modern to chk out its current exhibition on 'Global Cities & its sustainibility'. Hoping to find 'Spore' being part of the exhibit, we tried going around searching for it. Sadly, it was not there. Somehow, u will be surprised (we are!) that not many pple in the west know where is spore (some tink that its part of Mysia!), even though we always pride ourselves as a global city - 1st in air & sea etc.
The set up of the exhibition was very interesting - they convert the open space to a construction site where you can find railings and pranks everywhere.
Here i m, posing on the 2nd level of the make-shift exhibition 'site'..heh..
You can also find many interesting exhibits/models being displayed in representation of the density of the global cities like Shanghai, Tokyo, New York & London etc..
This is my fav picture - showing how 'densely populated' San Paulo' is in Brazil - i am amazed!!
I have to mention my favourite exhibit as well - artistic display of London city using very 'basic' materials!
Look at hw the shoes, rolls of threads, sweets etc are being used...
It's definitely more meaningful when u learn abt the rationale behind them eg. this is another of the Tate museum, using an old sugar factory as its venue n thus the display using sugar cubes (the current one is at a old power station - yes, St James's at Harbourfront copied this idea).
And i feel like eating this building! It's built with one of my fav childhood bourbon choc cream filling biscuits..yum yum ;9
After seeing the exhibit, we left Tate Modern for King's Cross station to find a chinese restaurant - chop chop, highly recommended by my frds..Think we found it but didnt try as the area around it looks kinda dangerous with many suspicious looking 'baddies'..so, we hop on a bus that came along and went to town..
