Thanks to the always fabulous and well-informed ladies at Daily Candy, I read about the China Power Station exhibit being held at the Battersea Power Station. It sounded amazing so a group of us booked tickets to go yesterday. Yes, in the pouring rain. I didn't realize that the station doesn't have a roof. Later my husband asked me, “What did you think all the warnings on the website about bringing waterproof clothing were all about? Ummm, I dunno, I thought there might be some exuberant exhibits which involved spraying water on visitors?  So the only water was from the clouds but the concept was quite cool: London's Serpentine Gallery has taken up residence in the power station and is presenting an exhibit on Chinese culture. After a brief tour inside the atrium (if you can call it that) of the building, you're lead upstairs to see a series of video installations. For me, the two best parts of the exhibit were being able to tour Battersea Power Station- this is the first time the building has been open to the public, before it becomes transformed into a retail and housing complex- as well as a visit to the on-site dim sum restaurant by Yauatcha. We sampled some delicate green tea, assorted dim sum and of course finished it all of with dessert. I had a chocolate and violet mousse and my friend went for a strawberry cake (the men pretended not to be interested in our desserts). Now if only all museums had food to match the exhibits, I think I would be tempted to go more often.
