A visit ： V&A ‘ Postmodernism：Style& Subversion’ exhibition



Last Oct 21, We went to V&A with our tutor and a group of classmates and visit an exhibition---‘ Postmodernism：Style& Subversion’. That is really good exhibition.The exhibition explores the radical ideas that challenged Modernism; overthrowing purity and simplicity in favour of exuberant colour, bold patterns, artificial looking surfaces, historical quotation, parody and wit and above all, a newfound freedom in design. See over 250 objects across all areas of art and design and revisit a time when style was not just a ‘look’ but became an attitude.

But there is not allowed to take pictures , so I just make some notes and just do some drawing to record.Below:



I really like Leigh Bowery and his arts.
Bowery is considered one of the more influential figures in the 1980s and 1990s London and New York art and fashion circles influencing a generation of artists and designers. His influence reached through the fashion, club and art worlds to impact, amongst others, Alexander McQueen, Lucian Freud, Vivienne Westwood, Boy George, Antony and the Johnsons, John Galliano, the Scissor Sisters, David LaChapelle, Lady Bunny plus numerous Nu-Rave bands and nightclubs in London and New York which arguably perpetuated his avant garde ideas.(http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Leigh_Bowery)
