I was really excited about going to Manchester Art gallery having not been for so long and though I had not heard great things about it's current exhibition by Portuguese artist Joana Vasconcelos, I was very pleasantly surprised. My favourite element of the exhibition was not the three main large pieces which you had to pay to see, but the smaller pieces which were dotted around the other rooms of the gallery, in amongst the traditional paintings, subtly hiding amongst them. The contrast between old and new, dull and bright, was extremely refreshing and brave and brought Joana's work to the whole gallery, rather than just secluding it to one small section. Lovely work.
