Anthony McCall

On Friday the entire design dept got to take off the afternoon and head off to an art exhibition. The exhibition was at the Serpentine Gallery in Hyde Park and was showing the work of a British artist called Anthony McCall . More info on the exhibition here.



This is one of the most amazing exhibitions that i've seen. You were complete invloved and interacting with the installation. As you walked through the projectected light it would change and morph and we had great fun doing silly things with the projections to make the other designers laugh.

He is a truely multi talented person with a highly evolved sense of the world and its working. Hes maths and architecture as well as film and drawing. He is the balance between logical and creative. Theses were very mathamatical instalations with titled 'Between you and me'. So they are very personal and human at the same time and the more time that you spend interacting with the installation you can see what he is trying to say about human interaction without even having to be intellectual about it.

This was def an experience that I wont forget!

After the exhibition a few of use stayed on to have cocktails at the nearest bar and then headed off for dinner in Soho on a friday night. So if you live here you will know that it is almost impossible to find a resturant with a table for 7 people if you havent booked as they are all so popular and the area is so busy that you have to wait in queues for pretty much every resturant!

Somehow my boss talked his way into a resturant called Floridita. This is def an awesome place to go for a night out! We had a huge booth table which fitted the 7 of us perfectly. It is a cuban restruant and we even had a live cuban band providing entertainment. As dinner when on and we ate some stunning food. I had the most devine steak, it slowly becomes a club as well with couples coming onto the lovely wooden dance floor infront of the tables and dancing. But we are not talking the bored club type dancing, I'm talking the real deal !! Salsa and jive and tango and all the latin dancing that you can think of. And everyone could dance like professionals - it was great to watch. I did land up spending sometime on the dance floor later with a fellow designer with us just having fun and looking seriously amatur as we just danced to our own style (i.e. none what so ever). I def recommend this place to anyone wanting a good night out!

The evening did take a strange slant with a senior deisgner and myself in the sex shop having a great laugh and him chasing me round with a FAT chick blow up doll box! Was def a great friday night out !
