Great gallery with two very good exhibitions at the moment  - until 5th May.
It has an OK cafe above the foyer, which necessarily seems crowded. There is a lift up to it, but note it only has one highchair if you are bringing young kids.
The shop is very good.

My first visit to the Hayward Gallery. So first impressions? Finding the entrance was not easy. In fact the whole South Bank Centre needs to work on better wayfinding.
Inside, the building is interesting architecturally and well staffed. The exhibition was Haegue Yang whose window blind installations were embarrassingly naive and not thought-provoking at all if that was the aim. The straw sculptures were however good and well crafted.
This is not a big exhibition and I couldn't help wondering if the sparse attendance was due to the £15 entry fee. I am sure the cost of running the gallery is enormous but it is the age old question: low cost and more numbers or higher entry fee and low participation. And if charging a high fee what about value for money?

What a pile of crap! Don't unwrap your art, keep it in the packaging, why waste money for storage? You can put a rope around it and call it art!! Oh and charge people to see it!! Let's look at some old fans, or maybe some heat lamps? Even better let's pile some clothes driers on top of each other and add some festoon lights. A must see especially the one with a keyring with plastic forks hanging from it. Go see the Venetian blinds. Highlight was that if you stay there long enough the spot light blinds you, get it? Venetian blinds? Woop!!
Must go the shop. They sell bricks painted and googled eyes attached for £65. They'll make great Christmas presents 🫣
