The book will be available for 25€ at the shop.

High art, low design

If you happen to be in London these days, you shouldn't miss the current exhibition at the Victoria& Albert Museum about Postmodernism - Style& Subversion 1970-1990. The exhibition leads you through 3 rooms and shows you in a clever, noisy but elegant presentation what postmodernism means and where it comes from. Think Talking Heads, Laurie Anderson, Grace Jones, the radical design groups Memphis or Studio Alchymia..think MTV!
