Interpret the following quote about the dialectical relationship of language and speech using typography and/or sound or any other medium of your choice.
The last image does not have 'common English words' filtering, but it is obvious from all of them that the words that occur the most are:1. design and make an alternative exhibit in response to the chosen piece.
2. create a publication that contains a narrative or history of the exhibit. This may be factual or fictional.
3. design a poster that publicises the exhibit and the museum

I chose to go to the Serpentine Gallery in Hyde Park for the DESIGN REAL exhibition.
http://www.serpentinegallery.org/
The exhibition is curated by an influential German product designer, Konstantin Grcic, whose pared-down selection focusses on 'real' objects, all concieved in the last decade - mass-produced products that have a practical function in everyday life. I chose Paving for my project:
Not a very fascinating subject on first glance, but I found the fact that an established industrial designer went and designed some paving.. The bumps on the paving surface are to help the blind or visually impaired traverse the city.
In my publication I will write about this range of tactile paving, how it has helped blind people in the past, I will also profile the designer who has made many other useful designs for everyday life.
As for an alternative exhibit, for the exhibition in two weeks, I think I will be researching into:
I have designed a poster using the patterns on the paving as a basis. I may change the type, though it is a font of mine that most closely resembles the one the exhibition uses..
