Munoz Humour!

I had a great day in London yesterday – it’s good to be back to normal and having my (at least) weekly YFC day in London.

I had a couple of good meetings before starting my final module at SEITE on Spirituality which I’m looking forward to. I will have a great excuse to get to grips more with Ignatius.

I had quite a big gap between my last meeting and lectures and so I was able to make a decent visit to the nearly over Juan Munoz exhibition at the Tate Modern. While there I spent a couple of minutes watching Shibboleth being filled in – its going to be quite an eerie looking scar on the floor.

Munoz was superb – love the humour of the pieces which brought smile after smile to my face. A genius with a great sense of humour. My favourite pice was ‘Many Times’ which is shown in the picture – 100 identically dressed figures with different expressions with groups joking, listening, whispering. As you wander around th groups of figures you can again ‘taste’ the humour and pain of the conversations. As you ‘listen in’ it is easy to be sucked into this amazing piece of art. If you get a chance to go before it ends – which is only in 4 days time.
