6/13 Barbican and Faulkners

At the Barbican they had an exhibit called Panic Attack, art in the punk years. A lot of the work was pretty obscene, which is expected I guess from a punk art exhibit. There was a series of 12 black and white photographs that caught my eye. I thought the building was pretty ugly, not really my taste, and it was pretty hard to navigate out of.
The guys from Faulkners talked to us at the Art Workers Guild about books. Robert Sheppard told us the story about the most expensive book the Great Omar. It didn't sell so they sold it to an American for half, but the book was on the Titanic (that sucks). Robert told us that the craft of bookbinding has hardly changed in the past 400-500 years.
