The most memorable exhibits?
- Theaster Gate's
goat on wheels, first heard in another room, clanking its way round a circular track - it has a long title:
A Complicated Relationship Between Heaven and Earth, or, When We Believe (part of his winning installation at
Artes Mundi 2014)
-the big blue wheel leaning in a corner, which I tried hard to ignore - and have forgotten the artist's name
- Bridget Riley's yellow circles
