SkinBag
I saw Olivier Goulets Skinbag Garments (2004) on show at the Wellcome Trusts exhibition Skin.
Later that afternoon I saw the material he used on the 100% materials stand at 100% Design.
Oliviers garments are unnerving, with cannibalistic, horror show associations.
You can see more of Oliviers work here

Powis Castle Near Welshpool
The tops of some spectacularly old topiary at Powis castle, isolated like lush green islands against an unusually blue autumn sky.

Principally new commissions as well as several key works previously unseen in the UK , Touched will be presented across multiple venues: Tate Liverpool, the Bluecoat, FACT (Foundation for Art & Creative Technology), A Foundation and Open Eye Gallery, with half the exhibition sited in public spaces across the city.

The Andrew Logan Museum
"An art which resounds with the exuberant excess of a Busby Berkley musical"
Rajas Zandra (1982)
Simultaneously absurd, funny and moving, this museum is a delight to the senses.
