Contextual Horizons Research: 'Subversive Design'

My third activity I have chosen to visit is the ‘Subversive Design’ exhibition being held at the Brighton Museum and art gallery from 12 October 2013 to 9th march 2014.
 As an exhibition that ‘subverts your preconceptions and challenges your relationship with objects you use on a daily basis’ I think that this is an opportunity that I would kick myself over if lost. It’s a perfect chance to see how these designers and artists have thought ‘outside the box’ to create the artwork on show which can only help me progress in my own practice. A personal target for myself is to always try and push, if not, break the boundaries, to extend past what is expected and I think this Exhibition is a superb way of aiding me in this challenge. I am excited to see how exactly the designers and craftsmen 
on show, such as Alexander McQueen, have tackled the idea of changing perceptions and preconceptions, taking the everyday and manipulating it in such a way.
I am very giddy about this one, I haven’t really much idea of what things are going to be like, and I have never really focused in on design and craftsmen element of art yet before, so this too will be a great way of expanding my subject area knowledge which will only do me justice.

The admission cost for this exhibition is a modest £6 for adults, concession and disabled £4, B&H residents being free and children under the age of 15 go free.

I shall report back with thoughts, reflections and a review of the exhibition once visited.

I am quite buzzing :)
