Absolutely exqusite curation for the nendo exhibition at the museum of arts and design, new york. Check out the blog post at design boom...

This looks like a fantastic exhibition. Although it is in New York. I shall make it my aim to see it before April.

I found this on the Creative Review Blog. It's a really great concept for an exhibition brochure. I love the way it evolves and changes, and how it gives a new twist on the conventional bound-forever-book format. Read the blog post here.

We found this poster exhibition: '100 Beste Plakate' or '100 Best Posters'. Here are some of my highlights.

A great show... loved the curation and a lot of superb work. These are my highlights... also check out the site (5:1).

The end of year show by LCC’s Second Year Typo/Graphic Design students is an exhibition of collaborations, exploring concepts from The New Fontana Dictionary of Modern Thoughts. Theories from the fields of psychology, sociology and anthropology are explored visually, creating unique platforms of debate between the theories from different perspectives.
There are many different types of work, including print, sculpture, moving image, and installations, all displaying a 'visual debate' between two chosen Modern Thoughts.

Location:
Acquire Arts, 155 Battersea Park Road, SW8 4BU

Nearest Tube: Vauxhall
Buses: 44, 137, 156, 344, 452, N44, N137

After much agreement and disagreement, we have settled on our final poster design for our second year show. The poster can be viewed flat like you see it, or from two perspectives when the poster is folded along the divisions. I'll get up a photo of it in action when I can. On the back will be all the definitions of the Modern Thoughts in the exhibition and will aid understanding of the pieces of work.

I went today to some of the Freerange exhibitions in brick lane. Some really good work out there, but what surprised me the most was how well the 2nd year CSM students stood up against the rest of the final year work. There was work from all of the UCA colleges along with Bournemouth, and Goldsmiths. The Goldsmiths exhibition was great and some really unique different work. The only shame was we were hurried out of there very quickly because they were closing, but what I saw was impressive. Overall some great work, but the CSM quarter was great and here are some of my favourite pieces below. Click for a bigger version.

Looking through some images from my camera, and attempting to sort them all out, I came across this great piece of work from the Design Museum, Brit Insurance Designs of the Year exhibition. The Fi.Gen Barcode, designed by PostSpectacular, is a fantastic new visual way of storing detail. The technology and possibilities of them is fantastic, but as a simply visual object, they are stunning. (Another example of function following form!)
