After the studio visit to 'We are Seventeen' we went across to the Barbican. Whilst there we saw a couple of different exhibitions.
The first one was:
Céleste Boursier-Mougenot
New commission for The Curve
This exhibition was 'very out of the ordinary'. When we walked in we went through a curtain of beads and walked down the middle, there were screens on either side which were playing videos, however as we went around the corner there were lots of birds flying around, landing on guitars. This together as an installation formed a very interesting sound and in turn a piece. It was interesting to see an idea that didn't mind moving away from the norm.

Ron Arad Exhibition
The second of the exhibitions that we went to see was the Ron Arad exhibition. This was a furniture exhibition, which featured lots of different types of chairs. The exhibition was split into two levels the ground floor and the upper level. On the ground floor there were lots of chairs that we were able to sit in and even a table-tennis table for us to play on.
The second floor showed a range of interesting chairs which ranged from traditional to modern ideas, using oil drums for example.
Overall the exhibition showed a variety of different chairs, which even thought it is quite far way from what we do as a pathway was still exciting to look at.
