</div>Don't let this charming photo deceive you, this man is on a mission and is likely to take out anyone who gets in his way. I went to a CMW Bacon Club talk last night and was looking forward to a talk from Bayley. Amongst a list of fine accolades he is/has been Chief Exec of the Design Museum, Creative Director of the Millenium Dome, as well as architecture and design correspondent of The Observer etc.<br />
<br />
During his talk he failed once to talk about or champion design. Instead it was a vulgar crusade of me, me, me followed by bitch, bitch, bitch. I left the talk feeling disappointed, horrified and somewhat violated in equal measure. Thank goodness I'm not from that school of thought.

So many of us remember knob-twiddling a go-go and sci-fi play as kids. Personally one of my seminal childhood memories was 'becoming' Superman on the green screen - loved it.<br />
<br />
Over recent years, Science Museum has been working hard to bring in new visitors and break free of the age old 'science is for geeks' adage. The 'adult-only' lates, for example, have been proving popular. Ooerr.<br />
<br />
Science Museum has just announced a rebrand - a continuation in their effort to present a fresh, human and more interesting self. The only thing is, it must have been on a budget...or maybe no budget. Why do I say this? Well it's a hasty visual shortcut to present something new. A new logo, and a new font.<br />
<br />
What they needed was a true rebrand. Something which harnesses their values, their value in today's society and brings their story and mission to life.<br />
<br />
The cautionary tale is you get what you pay for. And if you don't cough up the big players won't put out...and quite right too.

I recently attended a talk by Phyllida Barlow hosted by the wonderful <a href="http://www.contemporaryartsociety.org/">Contemporary Art Society</a>. She spoke of her current work on display at <a href="http://www.serpentinegallery.org/">Serpentine</a>, her 'encounter' (rather than collaboration) with fellow artist Nairy Baghramian and of the new decisions and hard choices she's having to make late in her career post teaching.<br />

</div>It was such a great day, the photo above shows one of Phyllida's vast sculptural installations which look robust and imposing but upon closer inspection are actually enormously fragile. Layer upon layer is built up, there's a sense of movement and haste to it all of her pieces. They create a startling contrast to Nairy's work (below) which is so quiet, polished and paired back to be the smallest interruption to the surrounding space.<br />

This work by Fliri really captured my imagination this morning. The polyethylene boat bobs happily in the open sea....'Real adventures can arise from the imagination', says the artist. A wonderful contrast of nature and waste in a happier contrast than the oil spil and the open sea. I feel uplifted.<br />

I absolutely can't wait to see <a href="http://www.facebook.com/group.php?gid=174930626170&ref=ts">Lisa Snook</a>'s show tomorrow night at St.Art. Her highly emotive work speaks of sex, death, fear, loss and love. She loves to work with found pieces that she then reworks to evoke new meanings using embroidery, latex and feathers. Here's a sneak preview of one of her new pieces. Just gorgeous.Caroline Taylorhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/05121200874121344387noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6197433403086725187.post-36252544995080274962010-06-10T02:41:00.000-07:002010-06-10T02:41:58.574-07:00Absolut at it again<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">Absolut continue to nail distinctive and meaningful art collaborations.

The show is a collection of photographs, archives and text that document a perverse relationship between the artist and his mother. On the outside this an honest and brutal account of a sexually blurred relationship. On the other hand, it's about director vs subject, control, self-representation and authorship.<br />
<br />
After you get over the initial shock factor (which takes a while & for some is permanent), you appreciate the photography, the story-telling, the wit, the beauty of the ageing process and that real can be fantasy.<br />
<br />
If art is meant for you to temporarily view the world from another perspective then surely this is 100 out of 10. Fantastic work, mesmerising show and I'm sure his work will go down in history. But I still can't stop thinking...was that him having sex with his mum?Caroline Taylorhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/05121200874121344387noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6197433403086725187.post-7780810922227408392010-06-04T01:18:00.000-07:002010-06-04T01:18:58.905-07:00Razorfish - Publishing in the digital age (and other IP)<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiEtCj9JZftMzHW4yXR9xna0JVju9KjSSg75ngD210SRCwZrRC89HWhsBg29zWND8ptg1dlkYS6ZPS_AyAhCdnOEHI-T6n-epcWsQeBnQwD_bbSSa14ciPzlfhoOiDSOjfnLiW5gqgqOWCS/s1600/Screen+shot+2010-06-04+at+09.10.55.png" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="170" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiEtCj9JZftMzHW4yXR9xna0JVju9KjSSg75ngD210SRCwZrRC89HWhsBg29zWND8ptg1dlkYS6ZPS_AyAhCdnOEHI-T6n-epcWsQeBnQwD_bbSSa14ciPzlfhoOiDSOjfnLiW5gqgqOWCS/s400/Screen+shot+2010-06-04+at+09.10.55.png" width="400" /></a></div><br />
There seems to be a splurge of agency & publisher IP in circulation. Here are a few pieces I'll definitely be reading:<br />
<br />
1/ Firstly this razorfish report on digital publishing called <a href="http://nimble.razorfish.com/publication/?m=11968&l=1">Nimble</a><br />
2/ Then a report by PR agency Edelman about <a href="http://www.edelman.com/news/ShowOne.asp?ID=247">social entertainment</a> in the UK & US<br />
3/ And finally, I'll be reading the future of retail study by <a href="http://www.psfk.com/2010/06/future-of-retail-every-store-as-flagship.html">PSFK</a><br />
<br />

I'm currently thinking about luxury brands and wanted to share this stunning brand work by design agency Construct for Claridges. They've masterfully executed a logo rebrand, a new font, an updated colour palette and have worked it through every iteration imaginable. Stunning work - I appreciate that they haven't subscribed to the old school rule of repeating over and over again the same elements in the same exacting way.

As a member of several online art and art collecting groups there's incessant buzz about selling art online - how hard it is and how current offerings aren't delivering.<br />

Perhaps new start-up <a href="http://art.sy/">Art.sy</a>, who've just won the TechCrunch Rookie Disruptor Award, hold the key to a new approach to welcoming new collectors to the scene and creating a site that genuinely helps people buy. We'll see.<br />

</div>Yes, yes, yes - get me to the <a href="http://starliteurbandrivein.co.uk/">drive-in</a> to live out those teenage Grease-inspired fantasies. 20 Volvos with the audio piped through the radio and a mega outdoor screen up front, will be in residence outside the Truman Brewery for 3 nights from 2nd July. I'm in :)<br />
