My First Art Exhibition

You may remember that last week I went to Drama which wasn't really drama, but was playing games and making things.

Today we went back to the same place, because it was fun, but everyone was standing outside and the doors were closed, because it wasn't open. No-one knows why.

Mummy and Daddy took me into town instead, but when we got there the other place for drama was closed as well, and no-one knows why.

We walked down the hill and my Mummy wanted to do some shopping, but it was boring so my Daddy took me to a place called FACT to see my first 'art exhibition'. It was brilliant!

It was by a man called Bernie Lubel, and he makes really mad machines that you can play with.

There was a big one that you could pedal with your Daddy, and it turned lots of wheels. If someone else was wobbling the couch in the cafe it wove some string into a big net, which was really clever, and Daddy and I made some.

There was another one where you had to sit on a seat and wobble it and it made some balls move and some pencils draw on some paper. When your Daddy pedalled another bit of the paper moved as well.

There was also one where you turned a handle and it banged a drum like a heart beating, and one where you wound a thing all the way up the wall and then you could let it go again.

There was another wobbly chair where you could put a sort of hat on and it squeezed your face when you wobbled which was very funny.

When Mummy finished shopping she came to see as well, and I showed her all the machines, including one which was a big box and you could wind yourself in and out. I wound myself all the way in and all the way out again because I'm very brave.

You could make flappy birds as well, and we made one. There were lots of others that everyone had made which were hanging up in the foyer.
