Tudor Grove
Posted by: David Keech on 29th Sep 2008 in Creative Report
I recently attended an open day at Tudor Grove Studios (at 21 Tudor Grove, Hackney), along with fellow Olympian Arts directors Robert Connolly and Michael Day.
Tudor Grove is artists' studios and non-commercial exhibition space operated as a not-for-profit collective under the umbrella of the Olympian Arts Trust. It is home to some of the UK's most exciting contemporary artists.
Those of you familiar with this blog will know about Olympian Arts from previous posts; I have also added some information at the end of this one.

Sound Design
Posted by: David Keech on 13th Aug 2008 in Creative Report
re:voice is a new device that harnesses the human voice, enabling the user to explore new directions in music making.
Product design or digital engineering, musical instrument or iconic object? All of the above. Traditional musical instruments are so ingrained in our consciousness that it's hard to imagine what lies down the evolutionary path. Marek Bereza has done just that. re:voice is a sophisticated electronic device, but clearly its progenitor is the hollow piece of bamboo or conch shell that first surprised Early Man with its sound-making potential.

4D
Posted by: David Keech on 11th Aug 2008 in Creative Report
We spotted Henry Bagshawe's 4D coffee table at this year's New Designers show (see previous blog posts 16th and 18th July for full details.) It is one of those pieces that is simply impossible to walk past without taking a closer look. Very effective use of laminated plywood, and variable positioning from two nicely detailed perpendicular hinges.

New Designers 2008: Best In Show (In Our Opinion)
Posted by: Annette Gelling on 18th Jul 2008 in Creative Report
London. The Business Design Centre in July. Cool outside but very hot inside; either through a surfeit of design talent or something dodgy with the BDC air conditioning. Anyway, here is Keechdesign's pick of the bunch. See if you agree...

New Designers 2008
Posted by: David Keech on 16th Jul 2008 in Creative Report
We visited Part 2 of the show, at The Business Design Centre in London last week and spent an inspiring afternoon looking at a particularly broad spectrum of fresh design talent. Equally inspiring was the professional and confident way in which the students talked about their work. We'll feature our pick of the bunch later, but first, more about the show...

Man Machine
Posted by: David Keech on 24th Jun 2008 in Creative Report
At last someone has taken on the formidable task of making a film about one of the 20th Century's true creative spirits, Sir Eduardo Paolozzi.

How To Grow Your Business in Japan

How To Grow Your Business In Japan was a seminar that I recently attended at JETRO's impressive offices on High Holborn.
RCA meets Courtauld
Posted by: David Keech on 28th Mar 2008 in Creative Report
I recently attended a private view of the Printmaking & Sculpture Work-in-Progress shows at the RCA - unique in that this was also the first ever joint Courtauld/RCA alumni event.
99% Design
Posted by: Annette Gelling on 4th Oct 2007 in Creative Report
This year 100% Design London saw an updated format created by Tom Dixon. The intention was to create more of a city-like environment and was designed to offer places in which people could network, do business, exchange ideas and relax.
Half Life
Posted by: David Keech on 3rd Oct 2007 in Creative Report
If you are an experienced designer with a background in high-tech architecture, product design and furniture, what type of project might you find yourself working on these days? Simple: a major new landscape work in Scotland currently attracting a lot of attention called Half Life. If you are James Johnson that is.
