Frieze Art Part II

When we ran away from Frieze Art Faire at the first time ( our head went round because of crowd), we decided that we’ll come back the day after.

So, there is not so much to say about second part of exhibitions, so I will just show works that I found interesting:

Our day started with this funny sign.
It was in absolutely different part of Regent's Par

Frieze Art Part I

Me and my sister went for Frieze Art Fair for 2 different reasons. She needed to  find an Artist to bring him or her to event in Moscow ( it was her business trip to London) and I went there to found new names, inspiration and subjects for my blog. 

Narrative Workshop with David

Today we had narrative workshop. The main target of this lesson was understanding image editing (cropping, zooming and etc). Also, we did a task in which we've been changing image idea by different titles.

First of all, as a group we've been asked to create to crop images, we've been given, to make 9 styles:

Wide angle horizontal

Crop to enhance the emotional impact

'SNOB.' magazine again....

I've found  absolutely amazing advertisements made as collage. According to our last session with Darren, I found it very interesting. Collage can be not only exercise for inspirations but also a really good thing for magazine advertisement, not that poor pieces of clothes on the white layout.

Ad of watches and jewellery

“Hembakat är Bäst” (Homemade is Best)

IKEA made a new cook book. Nothing special, ha? However they made it without any text. Just images of components and final look of the dish.

GAP 'scandal'

Old GAP logo (left) New one (Right)

I think everybody read about GAP scandal, if not check this link.
Well....What can I say...

 First of all, even I can see that 'new' logo is AWFUL. It is just...just AWFUL. 

Secondly, this is an absolutely crappy PR company to make consumers remember GAP brand. 

Crappy, because they didn't work good on it.  Second logo shows, that it had been made in 'paint' :) and it had been just a reason for 'something'.By 'something' I mean this article in Guardian and looooooong solutions about whether they should take new logo or no I am not sure that it will work. This fake actions shows that they have problems. I man problems with  PR company and Designers.

Anyway, I am not shopping at GAP because they have awful clothes' design last few years.
So, let's have a look what they will finish with.

People who drink vodka!

Very popular Russian magazine "Snob" which you can buy in big cities of the world (unfortunately it is in Russian language) made a new photo project "After First Shot". Traditionally, in Russia, you cannot eat something after first shot of vodka. So, you feel that awful smell, "hot" taste -fully.

 The main idea if this project is to photographing popular Russian  actors, writers, artists an so on after after first shot of vodka.

"Skin" Exhibition in Wellcome Collection

I think everybody had a chance to see "Skin" exhibition posters in Tube stations. 

Because of my addiction to Medicine and Art, it was a question of life and death to see this exhibition.

 _____._____

First thing that impressed me was the exhibition's decoration. Walls were covered with sewn felt that made it look like a real skin.  The second thing was combination of art and medical inventory. You've been able to see both anatomical equipment like 16th Century illustrations and  different art works like videos, collages, photos and etc. During this exhibition, I wrote down works that inspired me or just made me standing near them for almost 20 minutes.

'Psoriasis' by Tamsin van Essen

First Lesson : Image with Darren

My first lesson was Image workshop with Darren. I found it very exciting. It was really funny, relaxing and with some feeling of "freedom' in actions.

After Darren's phrase " I am gonna teach you how do draw' I was rally stressed because of my "crooked" hands that never drawn good in my life. However, workshop shown me, that you may not be a Picasso or Monet, to draw.

We started with thinking about "draw" word meaning. We've been given a time to right our own definition of this word. Mine was:

 "Draw - creating a piece of visual work with your hands and imagination"
