Review：The New Décor and The Edges Of the World @ Hayward Gallery
The summer exhibition of Hayward gallery is comprised of The New Décor and The Edges of the World. The New Décor presents artworks from 25 different countries 36 artists and Ernesto neto accomplished The Edges of the World. Each of artworks shows us fresh new conception about decorations and use different ways that keep me thinking longer than I might want to.
As an art learning beginner, I heard the exhibition is about arts and design so I thought the artworks should present aesthetic in visual，show high technology or use special new material. In fact it’s really shock me when two huge green and pink sculptures rush into my eyes. However I want to understand art world so I try to use the gallery’s booklet and notes even ask gallery staffs to help me. All over the whole gallery the most impress me work is Mona Hatoum’s Interior Landscape. Mona hatoum use a scattering of hairs to decorate a pillow, use grease to decorate a paper plate, let me imagine that a patient use trashy thing to create a world full of interesting, fancy and creative. Another work I do like it is Untitled bench by Nicole Wermers who put 4 large stones in Perspex bench. The bench looks very modern and useful I even want put it to my dining room if I could. But mostly artworks I feel depress such as Crazy-nomad by Pascale Marthine Tayou, Dustbin by Gelitin, Rosemarie Trochel’s Landscapian Shroud of my mother which bring the feeling about poor, fear and death. This feeling full of the gallery’s downstairs and difficult to move out of my mind to let me understand the others artworks.
Move to upstairs I could take a break, in the edges of the world Ernesto Neto bring a children’s playground, in here you can touch you can sit you can be a child do anything what you want but I think if Neto add some light and music to make mysterious atmosphere that would be perfect.
In the end I found I spend more than 4 hours in Hayward gallery, I feel sorry for curator to design this space and combine totally different conception decorations to one gallery, and obviously hard to understand each artwork. and maybe they should change the topic to the different décor.

lost in victoria
I really enjoy strolling in London, in here you can find the amazing Parliament house, grand churches, beautiful parks, quite communities, defferent nationality tourists.......
Today I was going to an exhition with Yurusi, as usual I checked the map from internet before I went there, and I also draw a map to make sure where it is. but unforunately we almost spend 1 hour and asked more than 5 people still can't find the exhibition. finally we are so tired and just sit on the ground, at that time a man hold a i phone come to us , asked us: Are you guys looking for an exhibition too? we answered yes yes.... you know what happened? the map from google is wrong!!! can't imagine in center london they show us the wrong place. so we had to give up because the exhibition had closed......
But Misfortune may be an actual blessing, After failure in attend exhibition we met Twenty in Westminster we spent a very good afternoon and knew each other beside sunset River Thames ^^

Summary of "Good design"in the degital age
With the development of digital medium, a lot of products were designed in the age, but most of them lack in consumers requires, the writer Richard Buchanan thinks if we can make a standard about good design.
From 1949 to 1955, a “good design" program produced by Kaufmann, which improved products design through a series exhibitions and educational programs, but the limited is that all of products selected by Kaufmann. In 20th century the good design more focuse on form and fuction and didn't consider the context of daily life use. and today the good design base on the past and involve "user experience". the designers explore what is useful, usable and desirable in products. However some people consider good design is the products visual, in fact they ignor the community with users, it's should be more humanization.
How to let people to interesting in ,the designers should be let people trust their products, for this porpurse the good design is described engage people to use it at the first screen. meanwhile, the good design need to find the deeply desirable by people that to identify itself and designers often through cultural expression to achieve this desirable even unexpected by this desirable.
As a conclusion, the standard of good design in digital age is to getting proper balance of usefulness, usability and desirability and distinguish good design in every individual case.

Brilliant PR event in World Cup
In this World cup who is under the spotlight? Mostly people will say Octopus Paul without hesitate. Paul, from the Sea Life Aquarium in the western German city of Oberhausen. The two-year-old cephalopod has become an international celebrity(BBC news channel).
As a report Sea Life Aquarium website's click rate rises dramatically and over 90% tourists will ask where is the Paul when they are enter the aquarium. How many benefit come from Paul? Anna Portman the leader of Germany's Oberhausen's Sea Life Aquarium said it's will be counted at couple of weeks after World cup.
Somebody guess that actually the Aquarium hired a professional team to forecast the result of World cup 2010 behind the pual , then they put the food which Pual like it to the box of they had forecast. if this is ture that will be a brilliant PR idea to attract people to come to Germany's Oberhausen's Sea Life Aquarium.
Whatever we will see if Pual right or wrong in World Cup 2010 final after 15mins .

Learn Academic English
It has been 8 years since I graduated from university. And I have no any idea about academic even in Chinese. And after no more than 12 weeks I am going to attend my MA course. I am really worried about this.
At the pre-session English course I start to learn how to write a reflective writing, how to make a note, write in synthesis and citation etc. In the class sometime I didn’t catch the purpose of the teacher wanted us to do. Some translation voice always around my mind, I try to think use English but only simple thing when I use the academic Chinese come up my mind first. And also the academic vocabulary limited. It’s really hard time to me. But I must step by step to solve the problems….hope I can use academic English appropriately after hard work.
Cheer up~~
