Biennial week – The old blind school

At the old blind school they had the biennial exhibition on and there were a lot of varying artists that had work on display. The old blind school actually a derelict building before the biennial opened the exhibition on, this meant that the building was very run down and dilapidated looking and all the paint was flaking and falling off the walls. This made the setting of the exhibition much more interesting than if it had been in a normal gallery. And in some places I preferred the actually state of the building and walls to the art work on display, especially the mural on the ceiling as it was really colourful and eye catching even though it wasn’t part of the exhibition, and it almost looked as if it was going to fall down.

I think that the old blind school was the least impressive out of all the galleries I visited during the Biennial, however there were some pieces that I did quite like, but not as much as at the other galleries.
