saatchi gallery in chelsea.

on sunday, when jae lim was sketching and I was watching her at the v &a , an elderly gentlemen approached us and started talking to us about his iPhone. we just nodded along through his iPhone talk, but before saying bye to us, he suggested a couple other galleries worth visiting. one of them was the saatchi gallery, which I'd heard of before, so that's where we spent our monday afternoon.

saatchi gallery is in chelsea, a posh and more luxurious part of london town.

perhaps, I will become rich enough one day to have an apartment here.

saatchi gallery is a contemporary gallery, composed of 13 smaller galleries. very modern building with all white and glass interior decoration. they hold temporary exhibitions that each last a few months.

currently on exhibition is "the empire strikes back: indian art today."

gandhi's famous speech on british salt tax, made out of clay bone-like small sculptures.

"her suburban dream." by huma mulji.

"the concrete water pipe has forced the vow in her suburban dream into an aunnatural and somewhat degrading position at the mercy of humanity. This compelling work explores change and disorder in the region [of india and pakistan] and beyond."

boy selling books on the streets of mumbai.

representing nomads, whose home is where their feet stays.

installation, filled with petroleum oil. very virtual-space like.

then we headed to covent garden.

the tea house.

a local coffee shop that I found all on my own. monmouth coffee factory.
