OXO/Design Museum/LCC

Took a trip up to London today to see a few exhibitions!

30years/30artists - celebrating work of greenwich printmakers was on at the OXO. A great mix of work, i particularly liked the silk screen prints by Jazmin Velasco and was interesting to learn about the association.

A retrospective of spanish artist Javier Mariscal was the main exhibition at the

Design museum however we ended up spending more time in the 'Super Contemporary' exhibition in the floor below. It was based along a timeline which reflected London's diversity tracking its developents over the decades and featured 15 commissions by some of London's brightest designers including Neville Brody, Paul Smith an Ron Arad. Their brief was to give something back to the city and there were some interesting outcomes!

Finally we ended up at LCC to see ANOTHER illustration exhib - 'Images 33' a selection of the best british illustration 2009. The work was incredible, professionals alongside students. Managed to jot a few good names down and was pleased to see some new work by Tim Marrs who's work i loved when I was at college.
