They were displaying an exhibition by Takashi Murakani. I wasn't allowed to take any photos in the gallery and there were 6 big security guys in suits around which made me intimidated enough not to try to get a sneaky shot.
In fact given that the exhibition included a giant golden penis and a huge silver vagina I felt a bit strange knowing that six stacked guys were watching me looking at genitalia. There were also a few sculptures of manga-like depictions of women: one with huge breasts and one dressed a sexy manga nurse.
Since I couldn't take photos you can check out the display here:
I also got a free mini cardboard model of one of the sculptures to make. If I remember I will put up a picture once I've 'built' it.
Time Out only gave the exhibition one star out of five but I really liked the art and quite enjoyed that the experience of actually looking round the gallery was so odd. Beats elbowing people out the way at the Tate Modern anyway.
