The London School of Economics

 


On one of my walks around London, I found myself wandering around the campus of the London School of Economics.  There were a lot of modern buildings tucked away behind the older hotels and office buildings.  

"The London School of Economics is a place where people with different perspectives engage in respectful debate about major issues for the world."

We could use more of that type of thinking.










That is where I found this incredible piece of art from Turner Prize winning artist, Mark Wallinger.  It was installed here in 2019 and is called "The World Turned Upside Down".  

It is definitely a statement about the turbulent times we live in.  














Mark Wallinger has created many artworks some of them a bit controversial.  He was the first artist to have a work appear on the 4th Plinth at Trafalgar Square.  You can see that sculpture and more at this site.
