BLOG ENTRY FOR CP1

I went on a little trip to London to see some exhibitions yesterday and after traipsing around the Barbican with my 'fashion student' friend we walked for over an hour trying to find The Magnum Print Room. I found a website with info on photography exhibitions and found they were apparently opening the print room to the public. Finally found it, but it literally just looked like an office.
After being buzzed in by some ignorant women we found ourselves in a private viewing room for perspective buyers. We took the price list and wondered around pretending we were interested in buying some £4000 print that had the artists writing nearly covering the whole photograph. After deciding the prints 'just weren't what we were looking for' we left. Probably should do some more research when trying to find 'alternative' exhibitions to go to!
