Summer At The Serpentine

in

Renowned French architect Jean Nouvel has designed the 10th Serpentine Pavilion.  The design for the 2010 Pavilion is a contrast of lightweight materials and dramatic metal cantilevered structures. The entire design is rendered in a vivid red that, in a play of opposites, contrasts with the green of its park setting. The building consists of bold geometric forms, large retractable awnings and a sloped freestanding wall that stands 12m above the lawn. Striking glass, polycarbonate and fabric structures create a versatile system of interior and exterior spaces, while the flexible auditorium will accommodate the Serpentine Gallery Park Nights and Marathon and the changing summer weather.

Next door in the Gallery is Wolfgang Tillmans’ first major exhibition in London since 2003. The exhibition presents figurative and abstract work from the last ten years. The Serpentine Gallery exhibition reflects the artist’s acute sensitivity to the world around him, his ongoing fascination with colour, and his conceptual engagement with the technical processes of photography. His delicate yet challenging images capture the distinctive energetic balance between beauty and subversion that Tillmans has long embraced.

Jean Nouvel's Pavilion is up until 17th October, whilst the Wolfgang Tillmans' exhibition is on until the 19th September.

The Hottest Ticket!

We were delighted to be asked to design the invitation for the hottest ticket in town - a dinner to celebrate Diane Von Furstenberg at Claridge's, a marriage made in print heaven!

So, we have devised some ways of keeping the youngest of Claridge's guests beautifully busy-
