Alternative Guide to the Universe @Hayward gallery
03.07.2013
Last Saturday I went for a walk at Southbank Centre, the weather was lovely and everywhere was full of families and tourists. There is a food market that always have an incredible selections of delicatesse from all over the world, it nearly took me twenty minutes to make my mind up and buy a tomato focaccia, umm delicious. Since I was there I of course went to check the current exhibition at the Hayward gallery, Alternative Guide to the Universe.
“Alternative Guide to the Universe surveys an artistic landscape that stretches to the far horizons of our imagination. Featuring contributions from self-taught artists and unlicensed architects, fringe physicists and visionary inventors, it serves up bracingly fresh perspectives on the world we live in.”
I enjoyed the show, it was nice to walk around and discover many interesting drawings and projects. I particularly liked Eugene Von Bruenchenhein’s work, I would love to show you some images but at the Hayward gallery they obstinately not allow you to take pictures of the works. I went on their website with the hope to find some images of some of the works I like but I am afraid they are only featuring 5 images which I don’t think well represent the exhibited works and certainly they don’t do justice to the whole show.
I was also really intrigued by the work of Paul Laffoley.

I recommend this show to anyone who likes unusual works on paper and architecture projects and drawings. The show is definitely a good treat for family and children.
