This Friday I went to Kerry Ryan’s curated 80 + ARTISTS 100 + HOURS exhibition where 80 artists/designers were exhibiting 95 pieces. Among them were two very good friends – Morag Myerscough with her scribble neon saying Cunts and Luke Morgan with his typographic skull – Not Collin. Of course they were the best! But alongside of them I really liked: Tracey Emin’s – I woke up wanting to kiss you neon, Polly Morgan’s – Receiver, Marcus Mitchell’s – Dead Tit, Douglas Gordon’sneon saying – I’m a designer of my own catastrophy, Franko B – Boy, Dean Whatmuff’s – Ace of Spades.
Ohh… and that burlesque dancer… I liked her as well!

No mask + make mask = wear it!
There was a lot of action taking place in London’s Design Museum. From mask making workshops, dance lessons, catwalks and so on… One of the most exciting parts for me was an artistic Gilbert McCarragher’s photoshoot on John Pawson’s bench. mmmm nice!

It is getting more and more difficult to define a concept of contemporary beauty. In urban society, where the hunt for perfection begins at an early age and modified ‘plastic beauties’ wave from the covers of glossy magazines, humanity’s struggle for perfection appears almost limitless.

This project is an explorative journey in search of alternatives that could replace plastic or aesthetic surgery. Design becomes a mediator between humans and existing body modification processes; static, permanent procedures are transformed into flexible, temporary prosthetics.

This is my Contextual Report for my final year project. In this paper, I propose that there is no need to undergo expensive, psychologically and physically painful procedures in finding your perfect look. Essential parts of the human psyche - confidence and self-esteem - could be easily lifted and ‘healed’ not just by a few cuts and stitches made by the surgeon, but also by through various design contexts and practises.

Throughout my research I have developed two areas of interest, which are conflicting. I do like this idea of creating designs for people who feel a ‘need’ to fit into constraining stereotypes, as well as the idea - to create new objects, new forms by applying surgical procedures (taking away or adding) to already existing practises or designs.
