CHEERS TO THE END OF YEAR 1! Reflecting back on this semester I am extremely tired but happy. It’s been a real whirlwind of emotions and tests. I have really enjoyed the Sex and Food subject and it’s helped me to step out of my comfort zone and present something I never thought I could. Georgia was a fantastic lecturer and it’s so refreshing to have a professional of her caliber give feedback and be open to answering questions. The lectures were very interesting and fun (as always) and it’s been fantastic to have food, something that is such an everyday part of my life, highlighted in a different way. I will never look at an old wooden spoon the same way.

WEEK EIGHT // LECTURE //

Food, consumer culture and design. Todays morning lecture was intriguing and thought provoking for me. We got shown art and design pieces of which explore the world’s excessive consumer culture, destructive and addictive in its habit.

We got shown examples of work exploring aspects of this topic from students of the National Taiwan University of Arts, Duane Hanson, Andreas Gursky and Thomas Hirschhorn to mention a few. 

These examples made me really think about the effects of pollution and consumerism but also the ways it can be explored in really different designs. 

Andreas Gursky’s work uses an elevated heights point, allowing viewers to see the whole scene and take it in getting a ‘broader picture’ and understanding of what is being stated through the work. In a kind of similar way Hirschhorn uses confrontation to depict the damage consumerisms excessive culture is having on the environment and communities, by dumping truckloads of cans and rubbish into a gallery. Hirschhorn similarly shocks the audience as a way of provoking through in viewers about their actions regarding consumerism and in specifics disposal of packaging.

Transformers. Okay not this kind exactly. But turning one thing into another. From spoons that are edible to Nutella finger dippers. Stretch the mind

[andytoldmetomakethis-blog]

For this class we brought in found items such as plants and food and created letters with them. I had soooo much fun and felt like a kid in a candy shop. Its so great to take a step back and not do things the conventional way all the time!
