china design now
I went to the China Design Now exhibit at the V&A museum. As all the V&A featured exhibits, China Design Now is very well curated and interesting. I’ve never been in China, I’ve always wanted to go, and now even more.
The exhibit is organized in three areas. Shenzen: Frontier City, focusing on print, digital media, product, editorial design and music. The second area is Shanghai: Dream City, featuring product, fashion, advertisement, celebrity culture and status symbols. The last areas focuses on Beijing: Future City, showcasing the architectural explosion; big statements about Chinese heritage and their expectations of the future…
A zoom into Chinese culture, China Design Now is worth visiting and comes down on July 13th/08.
