Kid Acne's beer bottles


 Here is one of Kid Acne's  Thornbridge beer bottles that he designed for the millenium galleries exhibition. I made my own stencil in the style of kid acne with one of his quotes and put it on a bottle. 



Kid Acne's exhibition at the Millenium Galleries

Kid Acne held an exhibition at the Millennium galleries called "KILL YOUR DARLINGS" in the exhibition he displayed his sketch books he had produced every year, a series of photographs and drawings. My favourite part of his work was the wiji board table carved and inlayed with gold leaf. I particularly liked the smoke/swirls of hair spray painted on all the walls of the gallery.

Yorkshire Sculpture Park

I visited the Yorkshire Sculpture Park in the summer hollidays where i saw Jaume Plensa a spanish artist. There are two giant mesh heads on the roof of the gallery and casts of the artist himself hugging cherry trees. My favourite piece was called 'Jerusalem' (2006) these were massive engraved gongs that visitors can strike to fill the gallery with sound.
