Developing the model which can solve the problem is now on my mind following my trip to The World of Charles and Ray Eames exhibition at the Barbican. Although I could not take a photo in the exhibition there is always a surprise in this location that can be blogged and worth finding.

What’s fun is finding the unexpected and in unusual places. I have only begun the trail of the London Design Festival but The Norfolk House Music Room at the V&A and The ‘Curiosity Cloud’ by an Austrian duo Mischer’ traxler.happened to be my first stop. There is lots about this experience that has made me investigate their work further. The creation of the different glass bulbs, the amazing fluttering of the mechanical butterflies inside, a sound and visual extravaganza! Feeling good and finding out more.

My next stop was the Barbican and The Curve. ‘Walead Beshty’. I do like exhibitions that ignite so many questions. Cyanotype and blueprints , thank goodness for the internet and the many ‘How to sites’, It now all makes sense and so interesting.

Guildhall art gallery is hidden away in Moorgate but what a wonderful experience. Beauty, Faith, Home, Imagination, Love and Leisure all portrayed. ‘The Garden of Eden’ by G Riviere is definitely my great find.
The creation of my cultural landscape has made me think more about the prompts and how exciting it is finding such hidden treasures.
My powerful painting and a must to see and a revisit. So Thoughtful.
The Power of Advertising and blog 11. The ‘Slient Partners’ poster prompted me to get on a train and make a trip to Cambridge. Wow, it was worth every minute. What an entrance, a cathedral of culture and I cant believe I have not been before.I don’t know why things stick but ….Finding the film‘Dreams that Money Can Buy’ by Hans Richter is a story of mannequins . I really don’t know what it is, but this film made me think.The Fitzwilliam Museumhttp://www.fitzmuseum.cam.ac.uk
The Tate Modern and no 10 on my memory databank. ‘I Don’t Know. The weave of textile language’. By Richard Tuttle in the main hall of Tate Modern.
Reading the exhibit text, it mentions for lots of people art serves as a security and to others is an adventure. This really resonated with me. Art is an adventure and it can be for both the producer and the receiver.
The Design Museum
An unusual film caught my eye in the Designer User Manufacturer exhibition. ‘My teapot’ an everyday object but with so many stories and meanings around them. Designers in Residence 2014 Disruption a really clever display.Llona Gaynor’s display had me thinking and my trip ended with strength and Women Fashion Power.
Not sure if I have tags and categories worked out in my blog but investigating.
