Hussein Chalayan | Design Museum | Review

A short exhibition deserves a short review I find.

This exhibition is good in that very Design Museum way. IE go if you're in the area and don't expect to be there very long.

I'm not really a big Hussein Chalayan fan and I was pleased to note that you don't have to be to enjoy the exhibition. It's interestingly put together and it moves along at a decent pace. It's unusual but not wanky.

When I was there it was besieged by fashion students who making the most of the Design Museums wonderful Yes You Can Take Pictures We Are All Grown Ups approach to copyright.

You should go, if you're in the area. Just don't expect to be there very long. More pictures on Flickr.

i was there for ages! but then, that's to be expected i guess - i watched all the videos and drew some of the displays. his videos were the coolest, and that wallpaper collection? me like.
i loved the exhibition design (by architects) and the grown up approach to copyright was indeed ace. finally, methinks. i loved the free catalogue too: good notes, great map.

my end note would be : don't bother with the other exhibitions, they're shit. but maybe that's what you meant by 'don't expect to be there very long'.
