Jonathon ( Top-Up ) went to the Barney Bubbles exhibition - BB is one of my all time heroes - FDA 1 saw a couple of examples of his work in the logo presentation I gave you on the first day.
It focuses on the working practices of the designer - really important theme.
The show is on until 23rd October and is highly recommended - this is how Jonathon described it.
Saw this on CR about the Barney Bubbles exhibition and thought it worth highlighting. I went along to see this and found it fascinating and informative (more than most of the LDF and ADF!). They not only had examples of his finished work but also his workings, sketchbooks (including paintings, drawings etc.) and examples of artwork that he had readied for the next stage of getting to print, handwritten notes and all! It gave an insight into "how it was done" which I found useful and made it feel real and attainable.
The information on the walls described in detail the artworking to printing process which was very insightful and interesting. Because of how the exhibition was laid out you got the sense of "this is his work" and then you walk round the corner and... "this is how it was done". It's not just a show of his finished pieces - it goes deeper than that.
