<\/a>Spot the art<\/p>\nContemporary art inside a classic home is a delicate idea, but when done well, it can challenge our preconceptions about a space.<\/p>\n
However, the art needs to stand out and contrast strongly with the background, and the difficulty with this exhibition is that the interventions are almost invisible.<\/p>\n
In part, that\u2019s the venue, as Freud\u2019s house is packed with his collection of antiquities, so anything added needs to be pretty obvious. Here, it\u2019s more of a treasure hunt that can only be solved by picking up the exhibition guidebook and using the room maps to locate the new art. It really doesn\u2019t help that some of the additions look like antiques or the sort of glassworks that Freud might have collected anyway.<\/p>\n
Apart from one room, which has been turned into the artist\u2019s storehouse, it\u2019s an otherwise invisible exhibition.<\/p>\n If you are thinking of a visit to the museum, go anyway, but sadly, as a contemporary art exhibition within a museum, its invisibility makes it all too easy to overlook.<\/p>\n The exhibition, Housekeeper<\/a>, is at the Freud Museum<\/a> until 22nd February and is included in the entry price.<\/p>\n Standard Ticket: \u00a314.50<\/a><\/p>\n
