Exhibition Reflection(LCC and CSM)

Recently, I visit the show of the first year photographic in CSM and the postgraduate show of graphic design in LCC.

Personally I prefer the former one,no matter is the way they organize the show or the work they present. In the CSM show, every student has an artist statement, is a kind of manifesto, it is very helpful to help me understand what the photographer doing in a direct way. 

I really like the work called  untitled gap(Mengjiao Xu). 
We know there is the gap inside ourself, but we do not know what the gap is, we can feel it but we can't touch it or represent it.I love the idea that there is a gap existing in our body, the arm does not know the feeling of the feet. I also like the image and her statement, but I don't like the way she shows her workI think display them separately better than print the in one paper.

I don't like the LCC show because is very easy to lose in tons of information. There is no statement, every student has a research process book, it's good to show how the work developed but it is very difficult to catch the essential information through their book,
It is not everyone have patience to read the whole books. 

I should say, the most of graphic student start a question to how to address some problem and issues in our life, such as how to promote one culture in another culture at the same time keep it original through communication design.it seems that there has different project but actually they have a similar perspective of communication design.This is the main reason i dislike this show,why they don't have their own view about this subject, why they produce a book as the final outcome.

Everything is too organized to like it.
