I’ve been in London today visiting lots and lots of galleries. My feet ache and my brain needs a nap so here’s a very quick blog in praise of The Art of Conversation exhibition, which is only open for a couple more days.
“From January to March 2010 the participants, 10 London based design studios and 10 Berlin based design studios, played a visual game of Chinese Whispers. Each participant was presented with a work/idea from the previous participant in the chain via a Skype chat, they then had 3 days to interpret it and forward their results to the next participant.”
The website has the skype conversations for you to watch, but sadly no pictures of the final pieces (unless I’m just too tired to find them). Still, viewing the conversations is great, partly because I’m nosy but officially because I’m fascinated by the creative process – seeing how these designers take one idea and transform it into another completely different but fundamentally linked one is marvelous. Generally, this show was pretty cool.
There is a review on dontpaniconline.com.
