Tom Heatherwick's Seed Cathedral

I honestly don't know how to start writing about this. It is just one of the most amazing things I have seen, I can't articulate my thoughts on it right now but if I had enough money in my account to fly to Shanghai just to see this, I would do it in a second.

Bodies in Urban Spaces

Bodies in Urban Spaces was a great free event put on as part of the fringe. It was an interesting mix of street theatre and acrobatics, a circus led tour of the backstreets of the city. Highlighting the overlooked spaces in our urban environment, performers choreographed a relay, slotting a mind boggling amount of bodies into the smallest of spaces. It was impossible not to marvel at the strength of the performers, some holding themselves up, four foot off the ground behind a road sign. They literally highlighted these overlooked spaces, dressed in a uniform of bright, block colour, enlivening the places which just don't see. It was a really enjoyable, light weight piece of street theatre that had a great atmosphere. I’m putting up some photo's I took on the day.

The link below is for an article in the Guardian with Nicholas Serota, director of the Tate Modern answering questions from readers and members of the art world. It is pretty long, covering a lot of issues, really worth a read.
