Telling Tales Exhibition V&A Friday 16th October



Q6.

The exhibition as whole really grabbed me. Its whole perception and range of different ideas from innocence to mortality, but they also bring a whole child like theme into it. I am going to take a lot of the design and conceptual ideas into consideration for table theatre. Looking at the different ways of structuring designs but also the patterns which they hold.

I am going to look further into Marcel Wanders designs, his designs and patterns really stand out to me. He works in a variety of different media’s which is something which really appeals to me and something I am going to carry through into my table theatre project. I also like the way his designs are so simple but effective. Using such simplistic shaped designs which reflect a modern way of thinking. He is a well known modern designer who has established a name for himself and for his designs; I think this could be a very influential designer to reflect on. His work inspired my idea of culinary objects looking at different shapes and patterns to them. Working with simple designs and colour’s, but introducing

Tord Boontje’s work is also something i am going to take into consideration the patterns and textiles which he uses in the ‘Telling Tales’ exhibition is also influential to my project. I like his patterns and how he uses to them to benefit his designs. They have a very secret garden feel to them. Its very mystical and magical, it has a very happy feel to it but also a hidden agenda underneath something which you want to process.

I am going to take a lot of the designers & designs into consideration for this project, because the exhibition on a whole was very inspiring for me. I enjoy the very child-like atmosphere to a wonderland of it.
