Hayward Gallery Interactive exhibition






The Hayward gallery had an interacting exhibition that seems quite interesting. At first it thought it was based on moving and out of exhibitions. I discovered it was far more hands on that first anticipated. You were allowed to climb ropes and navigate your way through a series of ropes in the air. The idea that it seemed to be an indoor playground sprung to mind. Yet as it was indoors it seemed more inviting as appose to the harsh weather of the outdoors during the winter. There was a running theme of what seemed to look like a white cloth throughout the gallery. The best part by far was being able to walk into what can only be described as a path of mystery. It was basically various obstacles two of which were enclosed inside a black box on either side and the middle obstacle was a massive blow up of drop of water. This drop of water like sculpture was made of clear plastic and continuously pumped with air to hold its form, i was able to enter it and witness a surreal feeling from within.

Design museum - John Pawnson model exhibition







John Pawson is a British designer associated with the minimalist aesthetic. The exhibition i went to see in the design museum was based around his works; in particular the models that were created to showcase his designs. Now as a person who loves models I have to say I was blown away but the detail and simplicity that were on show. The models looked amazing something to definitely aspire to and re-create. The attention to detail in the model of the church is amazing; the interior which i photographed above looks so realistic it’s uncanny.
