Week 3

1. Where are we and what are we looking at?

We went to 2 Willow Road, Wellcome Collection, and Hyde Park to develop our project’s storytelling. Firstly, at 2 Willow Road, we looked around Goldfinger’s house where is a modern built home in the 1930s, and it was a very modern architecture at that time.

And, we visited Wellcome Collection for Jo Spence’s exhibition. Her works show that her struggling against cancer with a variety of artistic expressions while she had been cancer.

Finally, we went to Hyde Park, looked around there through 'The Deep Listener' app that shows some creatures through 3D VR at Hyde Park, and we visited the other exhibition.

2. What culture, social, political, economic,  artistic context is the place situated in?

Goldfinger’s modern house and Jo Spence’s exhibition are situated in culture and artistic context. Both places quite resemble each other because, firstly, when Goldfinger built his home in the 1930s, no one was not ready to embrace his thinking and modern architecture. 

But modern architecture comes into the general use of architecture nowadays. His architecture shows his style and personality by an incomprehensible value of art at the time. 

And Jo Spence’s exhibition shows the period of her struggling against cancer also she tried to use a variety of artistic expressions while she had been cancer. Through a variety of her feelings, she influences, encourages people who have cancer through a devoted and constant value of art.

In my opinion, Hyde Park is situated in the neutral of between culture and social context. In general, the public place reflects that ordinary people’s lifestyles and social. 

3. Which methods have been used to display ideas?

Goldfinger made several items of the furniture himself and reflected his house by the emotional method in places of the inside of the house. Also, Jo Spence expressed her works through her a variety of feelings.

4. Which other disciplines have been connected to create the experience/exhibit/guided tour?

At Goldfinger's house, his brief background knowledge was explained through video media. And at Jo Spence's Exhibitions, she expressed her spirit through video media, photography, and the art of acting.
