The Mapplethorpe was a bit of an overview exhibition. Lots to digest, even though through time and familiarity - and no doubt the careful artistry of the work itself - his photos have come to register primarily on an aesthetic and iconic level rather than more deeply (and I didn't have time on this visit to penetrate). Notable: the ones of his young artist peer types including a young Philip Glass, and the flowers.
While the Pat Brassington was a selection spanning from the 90s through to now, leaning a bit towards the last few years, showing off her facility with the uncanny very well.
