点评:Adam Dant: Legends of Albion exhibition - each piece titled and dated but no other notes. There are multiple suggestions to scan a QR code to download an app for more information. As no phone signal in the gallery, you need to use the free wi-fi - make sure you get the code from the small note by the till on entry. In any case, only 6 of the many pieces are listed on the app, with a short (less than 2 minutes) spoken explanation of the piece by the artisan. No written notes and not enough background - not everyone knows all "the vivid and arcane origin myths of Britain" - the Greek legends and British folklore you need to get the most from these very detailed illustrations.
Regarding the exhibition itself, while I can appreciate the skill in creating the pieces, only 2 or 3 of the "painted cloths" exhibited were really to my taste. Many are not maps. I did enjoy the Shipping Forecast and Northern Line hell pieces.
On the positive side, we had the gallery to ourselves, so no-one was disturbed when we played the recordings from the app. The loo halfway around the gallery was welcome. The Hungry Guest cafe adjoining is great.
翻译:Adam Dant:Albion 传奇展览 - 每件作品都有标题和日期,但没有其他说明。有多个建议扫描二维码下载应用程序以获取更多信息。由于画廊内没有手机信号,您需要使用免费无线网络 - 请确保在入口处从收银台的小纸条上获取代码。无论如何,应用程序中只列出了众多作品中的 6 件,工匠对作品进行了简短(不到 2 分钟)的口头解释。没有书面说明,背景也不够 - 不是每个人都知道所有“生动而神秘的英国起源神话” - 您需要希腊传说和英国民间传说才能从这些非常详细的插图中获得最大收获。
关于展览本身,虽然我可以欣赏创作这些作品的技巧,但展出的“彩绘布”中只有 2 或 3 件真正合我的口味。很多都不是地图。我确实喜欢《航运预报》和《北线地狱》作品。
积极的一面是,我们独享了整个画廊,因此播放应用中的录音时不会打扰任何人。画廊中间的厕所很受欢迎。毗邻的 Hungry Guest 咖啡馆很棒。
