The Museum of Brands, Packaging and Advertising

So I came across The Museum of Brands, Packaging and Advertising in one of travel books of London and thought it would be something different to check out while in London especially since I’m a designer. Well I never made it there as the bus had many diversions as the Londoners would say and I was led in the wrong direction several times, and my map was useless. This was something I really wanted to check out so I may have to take another trip out there. However it lead me to Portobello Road which had a whole bunch of antique shops, trinkets, art work and food.

Jenny Holzer

01-large

When in London I visted the Tate Modern and came across this artist Jenny Holzer. Most of her work at this particular museum were projections like the above image. The Whitney is having an exhibition Jenny Holzer: PROTECT PROTECT which I will be going to next Friday. It runs until May 31st.

PS1

I recently went to PS1 which is owned my MOMA in Long Island City, Queens.
The exhibit “Swimming Pool” by Leandro Erlich is like no other. A full deck was built with an inground swimming pool. Originally when looking down into the pool it looked just like a real inground swimming pool. Then once I went downstairs there was an entrance where one can go “inside” the pool and look up and see the top of  the pool. Hence the reason for the people being in the photograph looking down into the pool.
