The current main exhibition at the Arnolfini - Gost Log by Matti Braun - is mostly crap. The handout is TL:DR. The only good bit is a cut up tree in a room full of water.
Studio 1 on the ground floor is full of dull paintings or prints or something. Totally meaningless and uninspiring. You'll get more out of going outside on a grey, rainy day and looking at puddles.
Studio 2 on the first floor contains the only bit worth seeing, a room flooded with water a few inches deep with wooden stepping stones across it. There's about a minute's worth of entertainment in crossing the room without getting your feet wet.
Oh, and there are some nice African tapestries if they're your bag.
Studio 5 has some stuff in so boring I can't even remember anything about it.
Overall there's an interesting theme of the relationship between left-wing French intellectuals and African artists from the 1930s onwards. Shame the artwork is mostly junk.
