But the exhibition really surprised me. Specially when I saw a documentairy about the artists. I remember Nancy Reddin Kienholz saying: 'I'm so sick of these pimps and whores. It's all about whores and not enough pimps.' Ed Kienholz then said: 'Oh Nancy it's all about the light.'<br /><br />That inspired me so much. Even though the exhibition is over, everywhere I go now I think: It's all about the light.<br />I hope with this blog, I will inspire other people to look around, at the light.<br /><br />'The Hoerengracht' (1983–8), by American artists Ed Kienholz (1927–1994) and Nancy Reddin Kienholz (born 1943), will transform the National Gallery’s Sunley Room into a walk-through evocation of Amsterdam's Red Light District.<br /><br />National Gallery 18 November 2009 – 21 February 2010<div class="blogger-post-footer"><img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/9019043700909507218-8062813171783745572?l=isitallaboutthelight.blogspot.com' alt='' /></div><img src="http://feeds.feedburner.com/~r/ItsAllAboutTheLight/~4/V8bVciSWr38" height="1" width="1"/>CCnoreply@blogger.com0http://isitallaboutthelight.blogspot.com/2010/02/inspiration-to-start-this-blog-its-all.html
