After a successful interview and perking up to the realisation of joining the working world again, I decided after a month and a half of applications and cover letters I deserved an art catch up.
TimeOut has got to be one of the best resources for all events going on in London. I scoured the web to see what was being raved about and as it started to rain I decide to go for the closest venue, Tate Modern.
On entering I came across the best opportunity of people watching I had experienced in my life. I don’t know if you enjoy sitting in a café and watching the world and the people go by, seeing how they interact and socially mingle but I found the performance art piece by Tino Sehgal, 'Three Associations' did just that. Deciphering the dancers from the general public was difficult, they moved at varying speeds, bowling though the turbine hall. Jutting and pivoting around each other but seemingly not touching. No pattern emerged and this meant I was drawn to it for longer, waiting to work out WHY?
I rumbled through the rest of the exhibitions and thoroughly enjoyed the space, the only draw back was the millions of visitors. Of course it's fabulous to see people roaming the space but it was getting a bit crowded and this made it difficult to see all the pieces at their full potential.

| Retro music and visuals was just one of the many video projections in the Tate |

| A synthetic piece which invites visitors to not only touch but walk over. Although I think there should be a sign as I didn't see anybody take on the task and even I was nervous of the concept and I knew it was okay! |
The week continued to a transformed and a dry Friday meant I could venture further afield to the Moniker Arts Fair in Shoreditch. There was a cool array of colourful art work and I was surrounded by many different mediums.

Surreal gothic representations reflected throughout the pitch literally from the mirrored walls
