Re-opening the Queen Elizabeth Hall

We've taken a huge leap of faith. The KlangHaus team are exhibition designers for the re-opening of the Queen Elizabeth Hall. It feels amazing. The hard work starts this week. We've had lots of weeks of waiting for the go ahead and a couple of weeks of immersing ourselves in the archive of the building. Working in the Southbank Centre is truly awe-inspiring. I love it 100%. The meeting after meeting, sometimes in glass box-like offices overlooking the Thames...or on the top floor of the Royal Festival Hall over looking The Houses of Parliament. The staff are incredibly skilled and can be described as 'professional'. I recognise how I leap in and react spontaneously in negative ways without measuring my answer...... although it's kind of honest, it's also 'unformed' and in this atmosphere shout of being ugly...interesting...I'd never thought that I'd want to act in a 'professional' manner, rock n roll's the way ahead yeah? But I'm finding more and more with KlangHaus that being professional leads to better results and essentially allows you to get you what you need. I'm not putting my sometimes firery responses to bed, but enjoying a wider pallet of ways to interact is making my life bigger. It's this interaction with people that I thoroughly enjoy and I'm collecting the budgetary emails for deep in the future publication for sheer skill of these Southbank women to navigate financial dealings. (I say women because most of them are.) The exhibition is called Concrete Dreams..tickets can be booked for free here, https://www.southbankcentre.co.uk/whats-on/127136-concrete-dreams-2018
