located Pacific Palisades, California

Aspects of their progressive design mindset-

previsioned the coming of the computing age.

For the 1964 World’s Fair (NYC)

they displayed their multi-screen “Information Machine”.

Visitors could write a date on a card, feed the card into the machine

and the machine would offer the leading New York Times headline for that date-

certainly a rudimentary precursor of Google Search.

The World of Charles and Ray Eames

is a show not to be missed for its examination of

 multi-talented, multi-disciplinary creatives

Charles and Ray Eames-

Barbican Art Gallery, Pop Art Design - exhibition, The Barbican Centre - London

The Barbican Art Gallery, London

is the venue for the exhibition

Pop Art Design.

…

The show is a wonderfully comprehensive examination

of this post war art movement (1950s – 1970s)

which explored and commented on a range

of contemporaneous societal transitions such as:

political ideologies

functionality of product

the introduction of branding

increase consumerism

technological advancements

production of new types of materials

…

The varied media used produced an array of objects –

each interpretive of elements

 shaping a new world.

Creatives of the pop art era were

innovators, which is not surprising for they

took inspiration from the then accelerated

societal, cultural and technical innovations.

There was an energy which was plugged into –

generating art from the everyday and ordinary

to the novel and untried.

…

Iconic works of the period’s noted artists/designers

are in the exhibition.

The pieces are presented in a viewing area which

lends perfectly to their showcasing.

The modern yet inviting space is bi-level

and of square configuration

with ease of flow and move-ability.

…

…

A multimedia guide app to the exhibition is also available and

is download-able free onto the iPhone and other devices.

…

This is a fantastic exhibition featuring

art as social commentary

daring

witty

emotive

challenging

empathetic

quizzical
