Royal Academy Summer Exhibition 2014

Background to these blogs is at my website :-meblindfolded.wix.com/blindsimming-lady

On Google, go to 'Financial Times blindfolded at the Royal Academy London, Summer Exhibition'. Or the Guardian Newspaper,, 20th May – possibly better report. I read this eagerly but it then sounded only half interesting. Not real blindfolding to my mind. The visitor enters a gallery wearing a pair of a sort of translucent, white-outed ski googles, so that light, which changes, can be sensed. He/she is then led around or left to feel the exhibits which can't be seen etc.
Anyway, read it for yourself and see what you think. I would like to know what anyone else thinks.
As I say, not my idea of blindfolding. I need to be completely blacked out (with my double folded silk scarf) - certainly not in 'translucent' conditions.

PS I see the time shown when these blogs are posted is hopelessly out – I can't think Chris is in the office sending blogs at 3 o/clock in the morning!
