EXHIBITIONS AND AWARDS

The Way We Live Now
The Design Museum marks Sir Terence Conran’s 80th birthday with a major exhibition that explores his unique impact on contemporary life in Britain. Through his own design work, and also through his entrepreneurial flair, Conran has transformed the British way of life. The Way We Live Now explores Conran’s impact and legacy, whilst also showing his design approach and inspirations. The exhibition traces his career from post-war austerity through to the new sensibility of the Festival of Britain in the 1950s, the birth of the Independent Group and the Pop Culture of the 1960s, to the design boom of the 1980s and on to the present day. The exhibition will also demonstrate Conran's influence and legacy on current designers including recent Royal College of Art graduates who have been awarded the Conran Foundation RCA Award. The exhibition is curated by Stafford Cliff and Deyan Sudjic.

Late Opening: Friday 2 December/Friday 20 January, 6 - 10pm.

Their Wonderlands
Their Wonderlands is an international group exhibition, curated by multi-disciplinary collective They Are Here. Contemporary artists have been drawn together to explore the space given to make-believe and folklore in post-industrial 21st century European society. Inspired by the essay In Praise of Shadows (1933) by Japanese writer Jun'ichiro Tanizaki, the exhibition exists in darkness. You will be invited to select a torch on entry to discover works embedded in a cardboard labyrinth, designed by renowned and seminal architect Yona Friedman.

Day+Gluckman/Collyer Bristow
Electric Sheep, an exhibition exploring the way in which our daily lives have become immersed in technology. 'Awake or asleep it surrounds us, enhancing and reducing our lives. Drawn as we are into the promise of a less cluttered life, of a clean and efficient world, many of the facts and realities of science remain a mystery to most of us. From the beginning of the science fiction genre we seem to have revelled in this mystery; demonising, prophesising and fantasising about the future, or yearning for a nostalgia-driven past.'
