Last minute touch ups to student exhibition spaces for Tonights opening. Last I saw there was a sound system being rigged up in the graphic design area along with a live graffiti session. The fashion show steps out at 20:30 in the multi purpose hall and promises to be an eye opener. There are several disciplines on display throughout the campus so give yourself time to explore - alternatively come back during the week as the exhibition is open until Saturday. Enjoy Design!

Gabriel Dawe - Installation Artist

Found on thecoolhunter.net

It's The Cool Hunter logo as an art installation. Gabriel Dawe's colorful 'Plexus installation is currently showing at the Dallas Contemporary in Texas.

The construction is made out of gütermann thread, wood and nails attached at either end to blocks of wood, the effect is like a real-world version of computer generated imagery. Stunning.

Enjoy with thanks to thecoolhunter
