The internationally acclaimed London-based designer/architect/artist, Ron Arad, has his very own exhibition of his work at the Barbican Art Gallery. Keep an eye out on this website for the competitions we are running in partnership with Barbican.
RON ARAD: RESTLESS, 18th February – 16th May 2010
BARBICAN ART GALLERY
Silk Street, London EC2Y 8DS (0845 120 7550)
Bringing together over 120 works spanning three decades, the show traces the development of Arad’s designs from his early post-punk approach, assembling works from readymade parts to his technologically-advanced sculptural objects made of highly polished metals.
Featuring a dramatic installation design by Ron Arad Associates using the latest LED display technology, the exhibition also includes architectural designs and instantly recognisable mass-produced objects.
Throughout the duration of the exhibition, Barbican is running a vibrant programme of talks, workshops, and lively late-night events examining the rising profile of London’s contemporary design community and Arad’s role in it during the past four decades.
