Bilbao

On Tuesday, we headed to Bilbao approx 100km from San Sebastian. The bus journey took about 90 minutes passing through some nice scenary.
Headed straight to Museo Guggenheim. Some of the art impressed me while the rest left me questioning what is art?! I'm not sure if I'm impressed, envious or somewhat annoyed that someone can...1. Be paid for what I saw (Eg. Carboard boxes stuck to the wall, cardboard only fit for recycling) and 2. Be hailed an artist for...
As for the explanations as to what the art or artist is trying to say...well BS artist is what I get. Maybe I being an artist is what I can become!
Having said all that i did ratherv like Yayoi Kusama Infinity Mirrored Room - A Wish for Human Happiness Calling from Beyond the Universe (2020).
This artist who is now in her 90s I think has transformed her unsettling hallucinations into mystical visions. You enter a dark room for only about 30 seconds and boom 💥 you are in her hallucination (see photo).
After Guggenheim, we walked and walked the streets of Bilbao.
Cathedral de Santiago, The Chrch of San Anton, Mercado de la Riberia, old town...
We then caught the funicular and enjoyed sweeping views over all of Bilbao. Headed to La Viña del Ensanche for a bite to eat before boarding our late bus home (back to San Sebastián).Read more
