At Modern Art Oxford they held a giant Barbara Kruger exhibition. I visited with my friend Jake from home as we had heard how amazing it was.
Although there were loads of rooms of her work, the most exciting room was definitely this one which was the only work I actually took photos of!
I absolutely loved the Barbara Kruger exhibition, especially the typographic room. It was really exciting to be able to surround yourself in Kruger's typography and actually see some of her work in real life. I think it's interesting how she doesn't associate herself with Graphic Design yet the majority of her work focuses on how typography can be impactive and how you can use it to communicate a certain message.
I think I loved that room the most literally because of the scale of the work and the fact that all the walls and the floor were covered in typography. I definitely want to attempt working at a large scale at some point within my design work. I don't think I could work at such a large scale just yet, but I am definitely interested in trying to paint or draw some typography at mural size or something - this might be something that I do when I graduate rather than during term time at uni, as I know it would take a while to do.
