Task 1
International
Make-up Artist Trade Show (IMATS)
"Education
and versatility are key to a career in make-up artistry, and IMATS London
provides that in abundance. Established in 2002, this show gives you the tools
you need to grow as an artist in theatre, film, TV, fashion and
editorial. Classes often range from age-make-up applications and red-carpet
glamour to body painting and beards. Looking to stock your kit? Top exhibitors
will be on hand for all your needs."
This is a
tricky one as it seems to fall in both categories as it is an exhibition with
many stalls where businesses and artists display their work/ promote
themselves/ sell product handing out flyers business cards etc. but also it also has a live show element as there are
several stages on which artists demonstrate their wok on models on stage
large images
or work shown with live models and even stage recreations or even stage
makes of new pieces
The United
Make-up Artists Expo (UMAE)
http://www.umae.co.uk/
" At United Make Artist expo (UMAE) it is our ethos to support
the industry, by generating a platform for the professional and aspiring makeup
artist from around the world, within a family networking atmosphere.
Alongside education seminars, expert demonstrations and one-to-one
interaction with the icons of the TV, Film and Beauty industry, we provide
opportunities to meet and liaise with the best in the business. Our guest
speakers don't just speak on stage, they mingle and chat with the attendees on
show floor throughout both days."
is also a
similar style to IMATS though it is on a smaller scale and is more exhibition
based with small seminars rather than live shows on stage. There are stands
where brands and artists display sell and advertise themselves/products or their
businesses again, handing out flyers business cards etc.
Damien
Hirst
Tate
Modern: Exhibition
This
exhibition is perhaps the most bizarre experience of my life It brought together
twenty years of Hirst's work. It features an array of different things sharks in formaldehyde medicine cabinets and paintings
made of sports. Only in a Damien Hirst exhibition could you be appreciating a
room of butterflies flying around you only to move on to be facing a glass case
which within it is a decapitated rotting cow's head surrounded by flies.
With such a collection of random pieces it is hard to explain
how these are exhibited and how the correlate to each other. despite being a
parts of different collections the exhibition flows considerably well due to
its clean smart simplistic display. the rooms walls remain white throughout and
the pieces have vast amount of space between them in order to allow you to
focus on each piece individually.
The
exhibition features work such as The Physical Impossibility of
Death in the Mind of Someone Living 1991, In and Out of Love and Pharmacy 1992
