Digerati\ at the MMU A&D show
On Friday we were invited to see the end-of-year show by the graduating students of the MMU (Manchester Metropolitan University) Faculty of Art & Design
Well, we took ourselves off with high hopes on Friday as we prepared to be impressed by this year’s MMU graduating students. The show encompassed many varying disciplines with a lot of ‘cross-pollination’ which made for a few very interesting pieces of work.
Among our favourites were a light/architecture installation that reminded us of Superman’s diggs, and a nice set of stuffed toys called the ‘Unglefor’ species.
We like to go to things like these because it gives us an insight as to where the new talent is coming from and keeps our ‘finger on the pulse’ as it were.
Importantly though, I feel that being subjected to creativity in any respect is like food for the soul and, as a team, reminds us of where we started, giving us a chance to reflect on where we are and why we decided to pursue a creative career.
There was definitely a lot to see, and in the couple of hours we were there we felt we only saw half of what we would have liked. So, if you are planning to take a trip yourself during the coming week in which the show is open to the public, I suggest allowing yourself a good amount of time to take in all that is on offer.
