Our Tutor, Hugh Pizey, gave us an exceptionally long talk on many facets of his design experience, as someone who has worked with multpile materials, not least ceramics; and of his admirations which include the work of Peter Saville, and of Sci-Fi Movies, as well as Jugs. Lots of Jugs.
Earlier in the year, I researched and presented on Peter Saville, which was a very interesting look into the world of factory records, a collective with a certain aggressive despair at the state of the world, and which has utilised various aesthetic devices similar to mine.
One other particularly inspiring example of his work was what he did with Lapland, a series of exhibitions placed around christmas time each year which started, If i remember correctly, in 1995. A collective of artists were invited into a space which became both a gallery and a place to sell directly in the weeks of advent.
It proves there are other ways into design that may not be client-based or a hundred percent 'commecial' int the traditional sense, an opportunity to test ideas that are rather avant-garde or not focused on mass-marketability.
I actually want to give it a go myself...Rent a space... find some artiststs...and hold an exhibition (with others) in the near future. The plant sale went well and was a good experience in sitting down and getting something done. We'll host the GSA Shop Project 4, invite the third years maybe i'll even sell a few pucks!
Despair and Modernism.... ESTHETACORP....or...ÆSTHETACORP...or....ÆsthetapLand??
Like all good event plans, it starts with the poster.
This blog post will continue to be written in spirit into the year....
