Javier Mariscal at the Design Museum
Tonight was the opening of Javier Mariscal’s amazing show, Drawing Life at the Design Musuem.
The video shows one of his pieces that comments on the new Olympic logo- unfortunately the ushers were too busy telling us to leave so you can’t hear what it says- you’ll have to make a trip to find out!
The show is the first life long retrospective of the Spanish designer and artists work, and runs until November the 1st.
I strongly recommend a visit. It’s a really lovely show.
