What the Hell Was I Thinking | David Shrigley
With his dry-humour drawings, strange installations and sharp observations, British artist David Shrigley (1968) takes a funny but critical look at everyday life and the art world. In What the Hell Was I Thinking?, Shrigley turns that gaze on himself and invites you straight into his head.
