The reason to visit the National Gallery

Kinetic artist Michael Landry seemed the oddest choice for artist in residence so I had to see the show.
It's a terrific show of work inspired by some of the most ridiculously gory martyrs of the church who figure so predominantly in the National Gallery and who are, year by year, becoming more obscure to all us non-religious types. I had to see the wonderful installation about St Catherine of Alexandria, with its almost roulette wheel interpretation. After all the gory and puzzling medieval art in German churches, this laugh out loud exhibition really hit the spot.
