Walking in my Mind'Walking in my Mind' isn't brain surgery but it is all about grey matter with parts of The Hayward Gallery transformed into a 'giant brain'. Art works and installations by well known contemporary artists focus on the mind of the artist, Keith Tyson is among the ten chosen, whose 'The Thinker (After Rodin)' won him Turner Prize in 2002. Japanese artist Yayoi Kusama - famous for her dotted installations - also features, giving us an insight into her view of the world as a series of polka dot patterns which extend beyond the gallery's four walls, onto the terrace and along the riverside of the Southbank Centre - with trees trussed up in the white on red print from the Royal Festival Hall to the National Theatre. The inside of Thomas Hirschhorn's head looks like a series of caves and tunnels created entirely from cardboard and brown tape, philsophical volumes taped to the walls, drinks can and body parts littering mini caves. Young Japanese artist Chiharu Shiota weaves an intriate web of black thread, three white dresses in the middle are memories of people from the past. Each gives an insight into the artist's brain amounting to a very thought provoking summer exhibition at the Southbank's Hayward.
