Postmodernism review (Design Research Methods task6)


Review


11/11/11


I went to V&A (Victoria and Albert Museum) to see postmodernism's exhibition.There were many interesting artwork in the exhibition. Most of works were created during 70's -90's.The collection of exhibition which are poster, architecture, product design, moving image, costume and music.


There are 3 artworks that i like specially. 


First one, Concrete stereo was created by Ron Arad. The appearance, there are 4 pieces which are turntable , functional button and two of stereo. From my point of view when i saw this artwork. I feel stunned because it showed combination of music and structure.I interpreted the meaning of music and concrete. Music is the art of harmony and expression of emotion. Concrete is strong and stable. It also represents contemporary structure and future instrument in postmodern period.



Second one, TRUST ELVIS was designed by Paula Scher. The aim of this poster is to promote the US release of Elvis Costello's trust. She used Bold colour and Typeface to keep in mind about political advertisement. I like the way that she used the colour and composition of typeface. Furthermore, I also like the eyes of Elvis Costello look and the colour of the glasses. It made him look like innocent man.


Last one, This one is most of my favourite in this exhibition. This photo was taken by Jamie Morgan.The photo was cover of The Face magazine in March 1985. For me, I really feel impressed with this work.I think element of art in this photo is perfect. such as, light , emotion , composition , stylish and expression.When i saw this photo i feel like the kid focus on me and he's going to kill me.It is a powerful image. I like the artwork that interact with me.
