Revolution? Records and Rebels

It never ended. Seriously. It just kept continuing.

As a group we got to experience what I would call one of the most exciting exhibitions to visit at V&A museum.

Why? Well it didn't bore me and I learnt a thing or two.

There were lots of elements that I didn't realise would be part of the revolution which gave me a broader understanding of what revolution could mean. - A change, fighting to be a new system against the norm.

There's a sense of rebellious outgoing burst that I felt whilst going through the exhibition. It's a very different world now as pretty much everything the world needs have already been invented and been introduced. Back then, there were always something to revolutionise, change which of course cause outrage as it was against the norm.

Oh sorry! (few minutes later) ... *Clicks*

One thing I love about us art students - we are the true representatives of the rebellions that can't be stopped. As we visited with our movement group, we each took turn to 'steal some clicks':

Visiting this exhibition gave us a lot of research backgrounds to look into the layout of the displays. For example: this piece had moving imagery where the yes would blink here and then whilst projector of different lighting moves along in the background. - it's so simple yet everything tells a story as all the elements links together.

As this piece works so well, it gave us few ideas on what kind of layout will be stronger when it comes to displaying elements for our own exhibition.

This has to be one of my favourite rooms.

It was purely because of how this room engaged with others and let them interact and get the full experience of how it was in a concert years ago. As I'm not very aware of how it was back in the days in terms of concert, the large projectors gave me all that I needed to know.

The fact that there were people just relaxing and actually enjoying the music and the artists rather than wanting to capture every moment to share with other people on social media really captured the essence of what our movement is really about.

It's the way the exhibition laid out these comfy bean bags to replicate the comfort and relaxation felt during those moments in time- that made this room my favourite. It's engaging and is easily clear to feel as to what kind of intentions they had to share. -- This gave us more ideas on how we could engage viewers with our exhibition in future.

Posters and other types of outcomes such as these really caught my eye. I love the roughness to these prints made by lino and screen prints. Visually it's bold and very strong as a design because of the use of just blacked white ink as well as good use of positive and negative space. This style of illustration has been favoured by all of us and gave us few elements to form ideas for our posters. Overall, this exhibition had really been an eye opener for me. It really inspired us and got us excited for our own exhibition as it included so many different ways of displaying using various numbers of materials and processes.
