I visited the Saatchi Gallery and the Tate Britain during our week off, as one of our assignments was to see work in a gallery space and reflect on what we saw. I found that I was much more interested in the work at the Tate than at the Saatchi, contrary to what I thought I would like heading in.

My favorite work on view at the Saatchi was a film installation work by Korean artist Oh Myung Hee called 'Metamorphosis.' The film was a culmination of images taken from paintings done in the same series. The room was immersive, filled with projections from floor to ceilings and moving with rose petals and butterflies. I was so incredibly moved by the lifelike qualities that were able to be created as you entered the piece and the transformative aspect of the work. You were moved to an entirely different place because of the sheer beauty of the piece.

The Tate Britain's building itself was an area of interest, both with the incredible sculptures that surround the perimeter but also because of the contrast between the contemporary works and the old building. Something about the way the works were installed in such a different space from their origin made it so much more fascinating.

I was really drawn to a series of work by Simeon Barclay that featured a mix of new technology and neon. The entire space was filled with eerie, non-melodic sounds that added to the whole experience. The colorways of the works were also really fantastic, using brighter tones rather than a muted palette. The smaller pieces on televisions that were set on the ground were really fascinating––their placement on the floor made you reevaluate the context.
