Weekend Arts Wrap-up


Welcome back from your first MSC exam break. What a two weeks it has been! I hope you have rested over the weekend and are ready to kick off an awesome semester two, full of Visual Art goodness.
An article you may have missed on the weekend, was an update on Visual Art ledgend, Pop Artist of the past and current Art celebrity, David Hockney's latest exhibition. Embracing new technologies, specifically Apple's new ipad, Hockney states
"The iPad is many things, but one is a very useful new visual tool," he says. "There is a dark side to it. It doesn't take too much imagination to see it will get thinner, perhaps even like a piece of paper, and then they might be compulsory; an iPad passport with your whole life story in it, a sinister form of control."
