This year the Barbican centre ran an exhibition; ‘The Japanese House: Architecture and Life after 1945’.
I was impressed by the creative layout, a large gallery was used, in the centre, a life-sized house and garden were installed. This was surrounded by individual galleries telling the story of evolving design in the post-war decades.
What better way to celebrate the economical use of space and thoughtful design present in Japanese homes than to make it a central theme of your exhibition.
I went to OCT Loft in Shenzhen yesterday. It’s a contemporary art centre in a former industrial complex. The look and feel of OCT Loft reminded me of Moganshan 50 (M50) in Shanghai, I posted some pictures about my trip there last year.
I only had a little time so I didn’t go inside many places; but I am definitely going to go back, in the meantime I can share some pictures of the complex and exhibition hall A:
Today; while recovering from sunburn, I headed out to the small but well organised Museum of Contemporary Art in Taipei.
Free from the crowds of the national palace museum and other ‘rainy day’ locations it was a short, but enjoyable visit.
There were three major artist exhibits. I loved one of them. From the other two I strongly disliked one and for the other I liked the ‘synopsis’ describing the work, but I didn’t like or ‘get’ the work itself.
