The Devil is in the Detail at Dark Mofo

July 4, 2018 by Jackie Hawkins

Dark. Mysterious. Stimulating. Confronting. Tragic. Dark Mofo in Hobart, Tasmania, is all of these and more. The best thing happening right now, culturally, anywhere, as far as I am concerned. Art, music, theatre, immersive ‘experiences’, it’s all there without really being ‘there’ at all. It’s magnificent and beguiling in its scale, style and substance, but you’ve […]

Women in design – a personal experience

The London Design Festival 2014: a review

September 27, 2014 by Jackie Hawkins

The London Design Festival gets bigger and bigger each year. There were over 300 individual events this year –  enough to give you pavement paralysis hopping from one foot to the other, unsure where to turn next.

Lucky enough to attend the opening of this new terminal by Studio Fuksas in Shenzhen, China, I can honestly say that the overall effect was DAZZLING.

December 9, 2013 by Jackie Hawkins

A Love-in at the Penguin Pool with Mark Miodownik

July 11, 2012 by Jackie Hawkins

The perfect pewter penguin! Cast out of cuttlefish at Arup’s best Penguin Pool event yet. Material scientist Mark and his team at the pioneering Institute of Making thoroughly entertained us all with their tales of materials, now and in the future. Imagine a time when structures will heal themselves? Bridges won’t crack, power stations won’t […]

MONA, Hobart – a superb anti-museum

March 18, 2012 by Jackie Hawkins
