Hello! Welcome to my website. My name is Yuki and I'm Japanese. I'm a student of Art & Design in London. I'm really enjoying this city - it's expensive but it's never boring. I go everywhere by bike. In my free time, I like playing squash. I also like watching comedies on TV and writing material for my website - so I can practise my English. Please read my articles about some cultural events in London at the moment.
Hogarth
Tate Britain, London SW1, until 29 April
William Hogarth was a very successful English painter of the eighteenth century. He spent his life in London. All his famous paintings are in this enormous exhibition and there's a lot of variety. The paintings are full of life and some are very funny, but sometimes the amount of detail is confusing. Actually, I liked his prints more than the paintings. I was surprised by the way her beauty changes - sometimes she looks like Marilyn Monroe, sometimes like Katherine Hepburn. Anyway, this exhibition is definitely worth seeing. I now feel I understand a lot more about this city!
Kylie:The Exhibition
V&A.London SW1, until 10 June
Some people thought that a museum wasn't the right place for an exhibition about a modern celebrity's clothes. But some of the clothes we see are 20 years old, and ore part of history. There's the white cotton dress Kylie wore for the video of I Should Be 50 Lucky. Then, there are the clothes she wore when she first appeared in the Australian soap opera Neighbours. Each dress. shoe or boot tells a story, and we learn about the designers, the videos, and the tours. The exhibition doesn't explain how she became so special but it's a lot of fun. I really recommend it!
