A visit to Isamu Noguchi exhibition at Barbican


 On Thursday I met with a friend to look around a retrospective exhibition of work from Japanese/US Sculptor Isamu Noguchi .


The Exhibition was an interesting one showing a diverse body of work ranging from such things as early baby alarms to lampshades alongside the main works of his career (sculpture).

The exhibition included some history of his upbringing and US internment (during WW2) .


The exhibition was not chronologically organised and the programme needed  to be consulted as itmes were not labelled. 

An example of work that shows Noguchi's design skill. 

Noguchi worked across many disciplines and gained a lot from a connection to Buckminster Fuller and Branusci was another major influence.


Here's a sculpture that Noguchi made of Fuller, it looks quite contemporary .

I like these two, one showing the shadow of rope and another about lightning.
