"Disobedient objects" exhibition added more understanding to the matter of presenting the object in the atmospheric space. Long rails, physically rather then visually divide the space. It seems like the viewers are captured in a cell, as if the objects should be isolated from the society. I loved the way the objects were presented, the explanation is very clear, with pictures, photos and videos. I think the exhibition could have been better if they added more sound into it, the sound of riot, the sound of people, as the exhibition was quite silent. Also, I wish there were more poster across the room, I am sure I would not have been busy, but rather the information will be more clear (as people go to the riot with hundreds of posters, so the crowd is colourful bright).
The information is very clear, but the font is horrible, it is hard to read the text. I loved their use of cheap materials ( pressed wood and scaffolding). The exhibition gives the sense of the value to art, out of the street, a "mass art". Whether these posters and objects should be considered as an art and have an artistic value, is a very controversial question.
"Evita" I always try to search for inspiration in different places. This time I got few interesting ideas after watching Evita Musical. I have learned that the space can change the mood and atmosphere in a second just by playing with the colour of light. Red light is the light of anger, suprematism, melted iron, passion, danger. The Show started with a scene in a cinema, people sit over a semi-transparent screen. A good thing about screens is that you can project onto them. So I had an idea that a cafe in Design Museum should be decorated with screens, on which the kitchen design objects would be shown in action.
Another good example is Sanderson Hotel. The rooms of the hotel are filled with natural light. Green glass in bathrooms, yellow mirrors, dark purple corridors, dark- cosmos -like elevators. Each room and space was designed carefully to suit the matter and the function of the room. A Purple Bar is meant to be used only by guests of the hotel for relaxation in the dark and cozy atmosphere of the bar. The interior of the purple room looks like a jewellery box from Alice from Wonderland, small chairs, decorated mirrors, granite bar. The main hall is separated on 2 parts: The waiting and a noisy bar areas. Spa zone is connected to a billiard room, it is also a very quiet and relaxing place to be. The hotel has a name on the facade. Morgan Group hotels don't put the name on the building but for Sanderson they had to make an exception and keep it as the building is listed. (The ones who are supposed to be in the hotel, will be there anyway). The target group of society is: creative, artistic people, people from advertising.
The spa area, ambient light, no walls. The whole space is divided by semi-transparent curtains.
The light goes from below, gently and soothing. Water is reflected on the ceiling. Tall ceilings.

One of the suits: yellow mirror soften the cold greenish light coming from the bathroom and a gloomy greyness coming from the street.
Curtains, a long bar illuminated from the inside.
The purple bar
Curtains always add theatrical mood to the space.
