Following a very short Towards Leadership Lecture, Jaz and I thought we would take the opportunity to head to Walsall Art Gallery where the main exhibition was called 'Party' to mark the New Art Gallery's 10th anniversary.
My favourite piece of work in the exhibition was by David Batchelor called 'Disco Mécanique'.The artist used hundreds of pairs of plastic sunglasses and turned into kaleidoscopic mirrorballs.
He made then circular to connect the piece to the human eyeball,metaphorically speaking, then he tied this together further by making them brightly coloured, linking together the way colour is the absence of light and the way the eye perceives colour.
It was one of the aspects of the exhibition you could actually photograph and we both loved getting up close to the art.

I LIKE THIS PIECE I THINK IT SHOWS REAL IMAGINATIONAlbert Einstein cited in Fisher and Williams (2004, p.6) states that,
"Imagination is more important than knowledge. For knowledge is limited while imagination embraces the whole world."
