Photography, film, architecture, music, poster, magazine, ceramic, fashion, product design...etc everything in the creative industry had joined the movement. If people who are not interested in art, or they don't know anything about Postmodernism, it's quite hard for them to understand what's going on in the exhibition. Though the exhibition has provided many information about the artwork that they are showing, there are still lack of history background of postmodernism provided. For example, Memphis is a very important group of international young architects and designers, who as a group of creators, creating furniture and products which full of postmodernism characteristics. However, I cannot see any information about them in the exhibition, it only tells 'Martine Bedin for Memphis - Super lamp prototype'.

Anyway only enjoy watching the artwork it's worth enough already. I especially like architecture part, like what the architects had done. Frank O Gehry, his own house in Santa Monica. I like the way it was built differently from other house (tho I saw many buildings nowadays look different already, but all are inspired by this house!), I remembered what my art teacher in secondary school told me, architecture should makes people feel safe, safe to live, so there is always big columns supporting house. But what I see Frank's house are different, surrounded by many green trees, living there seems living in another world, full of surprises, might have something happen everyday unexpectedly. As well as Charles Jencks, I like his garage rotunda. V & A reproduced his blue garage, this is really impressed.
