Infecting the city...now thats something I'd never heard of before. When I found out that we had to go to the Infecting the City, a lot of things went through my mind. Though I must admit, none of the crazy ideas I had of what it could possibly be about were close. It was quite an interesting and different kind of exhibition.
I was very facinated by it, I though it to be quite clever how the whole exhibition was based on creating art using recycled material, and how they managed to resonate that in all aspects of the exhition (an example of this being the stage that was made from recyled plastic and products made of plastic).
As a jewellery design student, I found that the main focus of the whole exhition was around the art aspect of it, yes there was some theatre (dance and bands playing), but I thought it could've been even more exciting for me had I seen some jewellery made of recycled materials. Maybe looking into getting some jewellery designers, better yet jewellery students, to showcase jewellery in a realaxed art form playing along with the whole idea behind the exhibition. But nontheless, my over all impression was that I loved it, and it was intriguing to see what people can come up with the simplest recycled materials, and also how they viewed certain concepts, an example of this would be that of the artists who put up that whole display of shacks.
