If you can’t make the time to take a trip to Bethnal Green in London’s east end before September here are a whole load of images we took at the exhibition we designed (in partnership with Wells Mackereth Architects and commissioning Emma Houlston) for the Victoria and Albert Museum’s Museum of Childhood temporary exhibtion on child seating through the ages.
Working in close partnership with RIBA Architects WellsMackereth, Graphic Clinic have just won a pitch to produce an exhibition at the V&A’s Museum of Childhood in Bethnal Green. We’ll be working on the project for the next 6-8 months on the exhibition which will then tour the UK. Our involvement will be to create all the graphic elements, signage, and interactive ‘kiosks’. More news on this to follow.
Following a fire alarm last Friday at the talk I was attending at the V&A by 3 former D&AD presidents, the event was concluded outside on the street, in a rare piece of design street theatre.
Martin Lambie-Nairn had just given us a wonderful talk on the influence of individuals in massive government projects, inspired by Prince Albert (Queen Victoria’s other half), when the event was almost cut short by a fire-alarm. Not to be unheard however, Simon Waterfall and Iain Davidson served up their talks on what inspired them inside the V&A on the steps outside – complete with jobsworth fire marshall saying they weren’t allowed to stand on the steps! He was called a few 4 letter words by the assembled crowd of designers and passers by.
Truly memorable!
