I arrived in London at 10:33 am on January 3rd. We are taking a bus tour on our way to our apartment flats. We had a quick tour as we drove through the west side of London. Many of the buildings we passed were developed during WWI and WWII and are mainly in the art deco style. As we were traveling and being told some of the names of places, i noticed that there are many similar names in London compared to at home.
Once we figured out our apartments and unpacked a little bit we were off to the Tate Museum to view the Turner Prize show. The artists that were shown were Dexter Dalwood, Odalith Group, Angelo De La Cruz and Susan Philpsz. I found out the reason they call it the Turner Prize show is because the patrons wanted a name associated with great British art. To be accepted for this you also have to be under 50 and living in Britain. This show is a chance to showcase new and upcoming artists.
