MATT COLLISHAW's BEAUTIFUL ART PIECE AT THE HAUNCH OF VENISON, 6 BURLINGTON GARDENS, W1


A collection of wonderful pieces. Rachel Howard has included two erotic paintings, Paul Fryer an egg suspended over a nest, Matt Collishaw, Polly Morgan, Damian Hirst, Sophie Calle and many others contributed. Enter this stunning building off Bond Street, and indulge in contemporary art fantasies, I had a lovely afternoon walking through this exhibition. Of course I wanted the skull with household glass by Damian Hirst, but at 800,000 pounds its not quite the right moment to have such extravagant taste buds. Matt Collishaw had done some beautfiul work with insects and I love Polly's coffin built for her with little chicks on each corner, giving death a vitality, out of a crisis comes life sort of look. Well worth a visit and maybe if you are not escaping financial suicide, put your hand in your pocket.
