Yesterday, invited by Maki from Åbäke, we went to the guided tour of the Somerset House’s exhibition: Wouldn’t it be nice? / Wishful thinking in art and design which present a selection of work by Ryan Gander, Jurgen Bey, Dunne & Raby with Michael Anastassiades, Bless, Dexter Sinister, Alicia Framis, Martino Gamper, Marti Guixe, Tobias Rehberger, Superflex and Chosil Kil.
The tour was guided by Kevin Flude ◊ and was a reflexion on what a guided tour is; from the beginning the main idea was to introduce the interaction with the audience. I was asked to act/play the designer of the guide: i had to choose a concept and design our guide accordingly; this bit was a bit unexpected and it was a rather confusing experience. After this introduction outside of the building, we started the tour and followed the exhibition’s succesion of projects. Kevin introduced us to a whole range of projects, but exhibited at another exhibition which itself too was exploring what Design is trough a specific angle, the purpose: On-Purpose ◊◊
The experiment was really nice and completely resulting of the delightful improvisation of our wonderful guide. He is going to post a few reflexion on his own blog, following this post in which he is coming back from the tour.
It’s nice to see design reflections can also have their echoes in various other fields like organsiing tour (which is, after all, about presenting informations).
◊ Kevin Flude is a guide with a blog: And Did Those Feet; Kevin is also closely related with a history museum: The Old Operating Theatre Museum, as well as teaching at St Martins.
◊◊ This exhibition is taking place at Arnolfini in Bristol
◊◊◊ I’m part of the show at Arnolfini — so, there is a due disclosure: Electronest has been commissioned to make an intervention on internet for the exhibition – sadly Kevin forgot to mention the project during the tour and i missed my few seconds of fame :)

Today Makin offered me the book Bless / Celebrating 10 Years of Themelessness in which I saw and liked the visual index at the end – this visual index reminded me a lot of a project Amandine is doing: Thingmapping; an ongoing collection of representation system presented with a single topic: a picture of a rack of clothes at home from which she decided to extract as much information as possible.
Below are some pictures I wanted to post in the comments for a map whose visual feeling is very close from this visual index: What is Whose.
* Bless is a fashion / art magazine; website
** looking at the credits, I saw Stephanie Moisdon wrote in this book – she was one of my professor at ECAL for my MA – nice!

Loris Gréaud was the first French arstist under 30 to take over the Palais de Tokyo, a museum in Paris. His exhibition ‘Cellar Door‘ ran earlier this year and from what I can gather from the internet it looked really good. So here are some of his artworks.
