Noma Bar



While at the DCA I picked up a really interesting book - "Negative Space" by Noma Bar. You may recognise some of his work in the Guardian, Esquire, The Economist and many more.

He uses negative space to give pictures double meanings. Its quite interesting and also not too expensive including the DCA's student discount.


Take A Trip To The DCA


Take a look at Thomas Hirschhorn's new exhibition at the DCA, the interestingly entitled "It's Burning Everywhere".

Hirschhorn makes the majority of his exhibitions out of everyday materials such as cardboard like as in this work and deals with cultural and political points of view.

It contains quite a lot of graphic scenes of civilian war victims so perhaps not for the squeamish.

Very interesting however and definitely worth a look if your passing by.

Introduction

7 dwarfs in a shower
There were 7 dwarfs in a shower all feeling happy, but then happy got out so they started feeling grumpy instead!

There we go that gets me off the mark
Well I should probably introduce myself, I'm Stephen McKay, I'm 19 and I study Graphic Design
