You Could Miss It

I liked this message's sentiment, spotted on the way to our first destination of the day:

The South London Gallery has a lovely exhibition space and will soon expand into the empty, adjoining townhouse to expand their gallery space, add a café, and make housing available for their artist-in-residence.
After musing on the sculptures in the gallery, we headed next door to the Camberwell College of Arts for their Open House Day, where we negotiated their maze of rooms to check out shows by graduating students. The design of the graphics exhibition-space was pleasing and allowed for comfortable perusing of the many books on display.
From Camberwell, we headed in the direction of Tate Modern, popping into three more galleries along the way. First up was Union Gallery, where we'd previously enjoyed an exhibit as well as the experience of finding the gallery itself. In a rather unlikely location (the entrance is beneath the pink banner), Union Gallery has the feel of a discovery, part of what makes it so much fun.
The next pair of galleries were new discoveries for us--located almost right beside Tate Modern, I was curious about the name of the street, Bear Gardens, and a plaque cleared up my curiosity (although I do wish in a slightly less gruesome way):
One of the galleries, Ritter/Zamet, acknowledges this connection in its website's design, and both Ritter/Zamet and FA Projects have wonderful interiors full of winches and other reminders of more industrial uses. After our very slow gallery wandering, we finally made it to Tate Modern and spent quite a long time in the expansive Dali and Film exhibit (wonderful and bizarre) and also had a quick look at Hélio Oiticica: The Body of Colour (a bit disappointing--I only liked the mobiles, but I liked one of them very much) and Learn to Read (some of which I found brilliant). By now we were a bit arted out, and we decided to leave a peek at Global Cities and our favourites in the permanent collection until our next visit!
