Annette Messanger


I went and saw 'The Messangers' show at the Hayward this year. Originally i went to see the Mark Wallinger's show 'The Russian Linesman' but ended up being far more taken back by Annette Messanger's works and ideas.

A avid collector of strange objects and curious fancies her work ranged from painting, collections, conceptual collages, installations, mechanical puppetry and drawings. What i loved about this show were the hanging works. There were drawings, paintings and photographs that hung together and formed a complete spectacle that was greater than the sum of its parts.

Great show with inspired ideas.
