Serpentine Pavilion

Designed by the French artist Jean Nouvel is an open space to the public outside of the Serpentine gallery. My first reaction was that the structure looked mysterious and out of place within the greenness of hyde park. However the contrast between the bright green and red is extremely complementary, and although it was a rainy day, once inside the pavilion everywhere seemed bright and sunny.

Skin Exhibition at the Welcome collection

This exhibition looked at skin as a "living document" with tattoos, various diseases, scars, wrinkles etc.
I found some of the images/ videos shocking however I really enjoyed this exhibition and liked the artistic responses to the technological developments in skin science over the last few centuries.

3-D Spatial Design Project 2: Maps, Site and Space

After finding and photographing various modular forms in an environment around me, we were asked to find shapes and forms from our photographs and drawings in order to create 3 models with a modular theme;  #1 a structure to walk through #2 a structure to support the human body #3 a structure to contain a small object. We used a range of disposable objects that we had brought in to create these structures. I began by creating an object out of cardboard, toothpicks and electrical tape, however the object was too complex and i had trouble trying to make a stable structure with this object.

I then decided to simplify my object, this allowed me to create more structures and experiment with different types of structures as it was more stable.

#1 a structure to walk through
#2 a structure to support the human body
#3 a structure to contain a small object

100% design

100% design is an event where the best of contemporary interior designs can be exhibited, the show includes architectural and interior materials and helps to expose and encourage new emerging talent. There was a huge amount to see and i found this overpowering however i was still interested by the unique and new designs. I also found that some of the designs where very relevant to my current 3-D spacial work on the theme modular and have found much inspiration from the event.

3-D Spatial Design Project 1: Site and Space

For this project we all had to bring in some string and an object that represented where we are from. In groups of 6 we had to use the string and the objects to create a map of where we traveled from to get to chelsea. We had to consider distance as a main factor. We decided to tape chairs arranged at random together to represent chelsea, due to the creative and unknown environment that chelsea is to us. We then used different types of string to represent different modes of transport and attached them to the bundle of chairs. The further away a person traveled, the further the object that the person had brought in was placed and thus the further the string traveled across the space.

We then had to somehow link our map with another groups map. We decided to link all the places that people are from to one chelsea so that there is one main link between the two maps.

Exposed Exhibtion

This Exhibition was held at the Tate modern

Eadweard Muybridge exhibition

The exhibition was held at the Tate britain.
Muybridge was a photographer who helped to transform art and shape technology. He helped to create a technology that transformed the 19th century european and american culture. Muybridge is best known for his stop-motion images of horses galloping.

Although the galloping horse is what Muybridge is most famous for what I was most interested in were the photographs taken at slightly different angle that when seen under a unique lens can be seen as one 3-dimentional image.
