Today I went to Victoria & Albert Museum. After coming London this was my first exhibition visit with classmates. I just heard about London's art gallerias and imagined how it would be. Today I was so excited to test my imagination in real. Memory Palace is a book by author Hari Kunzru. Memory Palace brings together a new work of fiction with 20 specially commissioned installation by graphic designers, illustrators and typographers to create a walk in book. It was really a great experience to watch such an incredible multi-dimensional exhibition for first time. I really like the idea behind the exhibition. the whole exhibition seems like a storytelling. The narrator of the story is in prison. He is accused of being a member of a banned sect, who have revived the ancient 'art of memory'. They try to remember as much as they can of the past in a future where forgetting has been official policy for generations.The narrator uses his prison cell as his 'memory palace'.
The exhibition seems very poetic and with different types of styles. I really liked artwork by Frank Laws. He placed 5 walls in a hexagon shape with the gapes between each wall that one can peep and see the artwork done on the inner sides of the wall. I really liked the idea of presenting art in indirect way. This is really an out of the box of installation art i have ever seen.

Another enchanting artwork was 'An Ambulance with foxes' by Le Gus. It was really precise 3D installation in black and white. I really liked the details of illustrations done on the each and every part of the ambulance. Such a creative thought of ambulance with foxes and the driver with the mask and mainly the unique design of the cart. Black and white gave more prominence to the subject.

I always get fascinated by illustrative 3D things and this exhibition really motivated me to think upon some 3D installments with illustrative 2D background in my final project. I am not that much sure how it will executed. But yea! I am really thinking to develop my ideas that includes 3D.
This black and white work really inspired me work in black and white as I usually work in with colors. Moreover our faces project can be done in black and white so i decided to do my work in black and white.
