(Things we're doing and stuff we like)
I went to the Design Museum this week and was totally blown away by the Tim Walker exhibition which is on until the 28th of September. I will admit that I had never come across him before, but seeing the photographs left me totally mesmerized. Walker is based in London and works only with the best around the world from Vogue to Vanity Fair. It is no surprise that he set up a Cecil Beaton archive when we were at Conde Nast early in his career. His work is both whimsical and captivating. I plan to go back before it closes at the end of the month.
China Landscape is a unique collaboration between Kew Gardens and the British Museum, bringing the beauty of the historic Kew Gardens into central London. This installation is in celebration of their shared commitment to strengthen cultural understanding and support biodiversity conservation across the world. Situated in the museum forecourt the Chinese garden features elements of a traditional Chinese scholar’s garden where design meets nature including a rock sculpture inscribed with calligraphy.
A huge contemporary rock sculpture by the artist Zhan Wang is on display under Sir Norman Foster’s stunning skylight in the Great Court of The British Museum. Wang is a world-renowned Chinese artist who explores the meaning and significance of tradition and the tension between new and old in China’s rapidly changing landscape. These Artificial Rock sculptures are created by bending and moulding stainless steel sheets around traditional Chinese sculpture rocks. The sections of steel are removed and welded together to create stunning hollow sculptures.
