Headed down to the contemporary, and i really enjoyed these two exhibitions! I liked Tala Madani's use of humour in her work (even though the subject matter feels a bit like a taboo! haha)  Although i missed the live performance of  Marvin Gaye Chetwynd (if you don't count a talkative cousin Itt), i really like how you make the connections within her work to things you have seen, it's fun to recognise things and made me feel an instant connection with the pieces.
