Yesterday we went to the follow up session from our visit to the Chen Hangfeng exhibition that we went to last month (blogged about here)
The exhibition is largely a comment on consumerism but, without just reproducing the work, and having largely un-logo-ed lives, our responses to the exhibition were mixed and largely based on technique over content.
There was paper cutting going on and making stencils and playing with mirrors.
I asked Chi before we went to have a look around his room and see what logos he could find, and most of the logos of any significance to his life were publishers logos on the spines his books, so we talked a bit about that and came to the conclusion that actually, who published the book wasn't important, it was the books themselves that he valued, which pretty much sums up our take on the whole branding, 'label' thing!
So while I was playing with mirrors, he worked on some stencils (which he is going to finish off today) and then played around with J R R Tolkien's monogram...
...and once all the children had finished working on their individual projects we went out into the park with our response to Chen Hangfeng's The Last Supper:Fast Food (video below)
