This project was for The Design Museum in London. It is the world's leading museum devoted to contemporary design in every form, from architecture and fashion, to graphics, product and industrial.
The brief was to design and curate an exhibition based around a collection for The Tank, which is situated outside the museum. The collection that ‘designful hope’ proposed for The Tank, along with a supporting catalogue, were some of my Grandmother’s diaries. The diaries are varied; some being holiday diaries and other diaries she wrote in everyday. The exhibition is called ‘Doris’ after my Grandmother.
This collection highlights both the author and the importance of the diaries. The Tank and catalogue explore ‘Doris’, the woman behind these books, for if it weren’t for her, they would not exist. This exhibition is first and foremost for collectors, archivists, designers and artists. However, it would also interest graphologists, creative writing students, academics, sociologists and fellow diary/journal and blog writers.
The catalogue
The catalogue explores different themes that run throughout the diaries. Whether it is the historical significance of the diaries, or attributes Doris applied to them.
