Went to the Anish Kapoor exhibition in London...an exposition of sexual repression and visual innuendo unrivalled by anything on the current art scene. Featuring an enormous hour-long act of penetration extending through five rooms of the Royal Academy; willies and turds coiling and squirming in mounds of concrete and a phallic cannon that fires shells of congealed menstrual blood against the walls. The artist makes us collude in his voyeurism then deflects our gaze with a series of hallmark stainless steel distorting mirrors. Great fun.
