The other day fellow friends and myself did a small gallery crawl around the CBD. The Narrows was one such gallery I harboured deep personal feelings for. Once you've braved the steps and the 'have I come to the right place' curse, the name makes sense in a completely literal way. The space is mini. But aren't all good things these days?
The current exhibition is almost over. (Tomorrow actually) But if you're in the flinders lane area you'd be a fool to not to go along. The walls are systematically covered with 1950's record sleeves designed by Ronald Clyne. He is a true master of form meeting function through the use of grids and geometric shapes.
The next exhibition looks just as intriguing. Beginning on the 23rd of March, the design works of Masato Takasaka will be on display. I'll be going. Will you?
Glad to hear you enjoyed the Ron Clyne exhibition. He's slipped under the radar of the design world i think.
When it comes to cover art most people think Blue Note, Impulse or Factory. Clynes work is every bit as important.
