Viewing The World of Tim Burton, The Design Museum

Does anything scream Halloween more than Tim Burton? To the American artist and filmmaker growing up Frankenstein, King Kong and Dracula were always “the good guys”. The master of the misfit and the uncanny in contemporary visual culture is now the subject of a blockbuster exhibition at the Design Museum, exploring the director’s collaborations with designers over the last four decades.

The exhibition charts the evolution of the unearthly and comically grotesque aesthetics of Burton’s films and art through his personal archives from childhood to the present, in drawings, paintings, photographs, sketchbook and sculptural installations as well as set and costume designs. Through this, Burton’s prediliction for the strange and uncanny becomes clearer, forging an unprecendented view of his unique vision.

The exhibition has already proved wildly popular – tickets are sold out until mid-November – London is the final destination in the exhibition’s ten-year world tour, and will be the only chance to catch it in the UK, so don’t miss it.
