Recreating 'Dirty Looks' A Barbican Exhibit
The Standard called it “a feast for the eyes and the mind,” while The Guardian described it as “a mucky joy to behold.” Despite its modest-sounding premise, 'Dirty Looks' curated by Karen Van Godtsenhoven, is one of the most beautiful exhibitions I have ever visited.

A good film can make you feel and ponder endlessly; this one made me feel absolutely nothing, and I left the theatre confused and head empty.
