The Path To Glory: ART

On monday me and The Butcher hit up Newcastle.

I found a super cute Joss Stone looking Canadian... woooo

Then we wandered around a bit, which was pretty cool

Went in a gun shop, I think I'll buy a cool air-rifle at the end of the month maybe.

We went to the art gallery 'The Baltic' they had a couple of pretty cool exhibitions unfortunately I couldn't take pictures of the best one.

The best one was basically just the artist trying to shock you as much as is possible. It was a big room with the walls covered in those big trippy fucking wheels which give off an optical illusion. Pictures of the victims of Gangland murder straight after they'd been shot in the head... and a statuette of Jesus with a big protruding erection. I wasn't shocked personally, or offended, but it was a nice try by the artist(s) 'The Zablucowicz collection'

So anyway, rewind.. the first exhibition in the place was what I imagine what the New York skyline would look like at night if it was made of assorted sized fridged, with small mirrors on their exteriors...

The fourth floor is a big room, and it was designed to shock a lot like the exhibition on the third floor... The Butcher compared it with 'Dune'. Upon entry the first thing I noticed was a big sack hanging from the ceiling full of waxwork heads of politicians

then a wall which formed a star made of billy clubs or night sticks or whatever the fuck they're called

and a rolled over burned out car on a large plinth with broken bottles protruding from it.

a big star-shaped thing made of wood and razor wire. Nice.

And then the obligatory dead body and blasphemy

and then on the top floor, there was a vintage fat man made out of mechano, I say vntage because these metal things were there the first time I ever went to The Baltic around 3years ago, maybes longer (note the pictures of hundreds of naked people in the back ground)
