The
V&A Museum of Childhood is running an Olympic Poster retrospective until 7 September 2008 to
"explore the fascinating representation of the Olympic Games through the intensely visual medium of the poster" and to coincide with the Beijing Games. It's a great opportunity to see these iconic designs in the flesh.
And for those of you who can't make it down to Bethnal Green there is a book,
'A Century of Olympic Posters' and some
reproductions of the original posters available online from the
V&A shop.

If you do pop down to the coast for the
Brighton Festival make sure you visit photography gallery,
Crane Kalman situated in the heart of the lanes. Throughout May until the 8 June they are running,
‘Visions of America’ an exhibition showcasing work from
Jeff Liao and
Christoph Morlinghaus.
I love the contrast of these two collections shown together, Liao’s images are very raw and colourful, whereas Morlinghaus captures a nostalgic faded glory in his black and white images, as shown above in ‘Great White 2, 2007’. Take a look, you won’t be disappointed.
