Remembering Bowie

David Bowie was an amazing artist, musician, and inspiration. It's hard to imagine the world without him as he touched so many aspects of it. He influenced my life starting from seeing him in the movie Labyrinth as the goblin king to the song Rebel Rebel in high school. There are even so many well known songs that I found myself saying "that's a Bowie song too"?! I'm still blown away by the exhibit, that was at the Art Gallery of Ontario, featuring David Bowie back in 2013. I posted about my experience here. It is still one of the best exhibits I have ever been too, and I went twice! It was so well done, letting the visitor explore many different rooms; each place expressing a different mood, from whimsical to homey, to serious. The exhibit ended in a huge room that felt like being at a live concert. It had many of Bowie's costumes on display with lots of colourful lights and played his music from live performances. We hung out in there, on the many couches, for quite awhile just taking it all in. After this exhibit I got into Bowie and his music even more. He had quite the life, always being the first to try something and start a new trend. The world will miss this genius.
