24-04-12 - Damien Hirst @ Tate Modern

Since watching the channel 4 documentary on Damien Hirst back in the Easter holidays I have been so excited to finally be going to the exhibition. with the last term of this academic year underway and a vast majority of time and attention aimed towards the second year students, it was nice to take the first years on this truly inspirational trip. The exhibition feature all of Damien's work from his students days at Goldsmiths college through to when he became the Turner prize winner and so on. The exhibition was remarkable with inspiration literally alive in front of you. I was as wrapped up as I could possibly be (keeping my eyes on 22 students).

I would have recommended this exhbition to anyone despite being interested in art or not, but since the exhibition holds a strict no photography rule it gives you even more of a push to go and see it. the exhibition runs until September, although Damien's iconic Crystal Skull "For the love of God" will be exhibited in a secret room located in the turbine hall only until June. Below are my documented memories of the day. GO AND SEE IT!
