The London Design Mu-seum presents “Drawing Life” showing a selection of works by Javier Mariscal and Estudio Mariscal produced throughout his career
01 July - 01 November
The Design Museum, devoted to design in every form, is set on the banks of the River Thames next door to the Tate Modern.
Drawing Life is not a retrospective, in the sense that the
work is not organised chronologically. Grouped by concepts,
it is spread over six exhibition spaces, some in installation
form, and invites viewing in random order.
Collage walls, graphic curtains, objects, drawings, sketches,
audiovisuals and small displays illustrate the key elements,
the evolution and the methodology of Javier Mariscal’s per-
sonal language. The exhibition was created after an exhaus-
tive trawl through his physical and digital archives to select
the more than 2,000 objects and images on show.
Drawing Life was approached as a reflection on the more
than thirty years work that spans the professional life of
Javier Mariscal. It expresses how his language and iconog-
raphy evolved, how he used his obsessions and approach to
life to bring shape and content to his artistic work, indeed
to all the design disciplines in which he has been involved.
The press visit is scheduled for 30 June from 12 midday to 2 p.m. Javier Mariscal will be available for interview during the visit. To request an interview on this or any other day or ask for images, please contact Estudio Mariscal, tel. +34 93 303 69 40Eva, [email protected]Àngels, [email protected]
It also uses the syntax of his work to explore the limits of
the designer’s trade.
The design of the exhibition itself reflects the ease with
which this work crosses the frontiers between art and
design. How the artistic spirit enriches the design solutions,
while treating design not as an art but as a trade. The exhi-
bition provides an insight into Mariscal’s creative processes,
where everything starts with a drawing and nothing ever
seems definitive.
The form chosen to display the projects and contents se-
lected is a celebration of joie de vivre, the emotion of colour,
Mediterranean sensuality and the simplicity of drawing and
landscape. The hope and expectation of everyone invoved in
this exhibition is that through it, visitors to Drawing Life can
experience the vital spark generated by the Javier Mariscal’s
creativity.
