Mike Nelson: Extinction Beckons at Hayward Gallery. @hayward.gallery
You know when you love something so much, you can’t get it out of your head right? This is what happened to me after experiencing Mike Nelson’s new exhibition that opens today.
Please just go see it! You won’t regret it.
What to expect - large scale, huge installations, immersive and interactive, dark, eerie, interesting, a labyrinth full of doors that take you into different fictional worlds. (I even found an ashtray from skala kefalonia in Greece).
Now for the little ones, I am not sure as it might scare them a little bit. I will take mine this week and let you know. I am sure she will love the interactive parts.
Some of his key epic installation, are shown at the Hayward Gallery for the first time.
Mike Nelson says: "My intent has always been to make immersive works that operate on multiple levels. They should have a narrative, a spatial aspect, but also a psychological effect on the senses: you're seeing and feeling one thing whilst your brain is trying to override this and tell you something else"
