Win tickets to Tim Burton: The Exhibition

I jumped at the chance to see the Tim Burton exhibition at ACMI at Fed Square as a special invited guest. I'm actually not the biggest Tim Burton fan, but I am a fan of seeing the design process behind someone with as many big ideas and influential films as him, and this exhibition didn't disappoint in that arena. There were so many sketches stretching back to his childhood throughout the exhibition, standing next to finished prototypes or costumes of the real deal that actually appeared in the films. The MOMA curators were given incredible access to create the exhibition, Tim literally threw open the doors to his home to them and said take a look at my stuff. The one thing I did think was, wow, he must not throw anything away, and what a big house he must have. Seeing the way things he thought about as a child stayed with him and eventually came to fruition was really interesting. Our fabulous guide to the exhibition, Tony, explained that Tim doesn't ever see any of his “failures” as failures because for him it isn't all about commercial success, its about the creative process and realising a dream.

The real costume from the film.

The best part of the exhibition for me was seeing the fabulous costumes from his films, my favourite being the Edward Scissorhands costume, (so on trend! ) The leather and buckle work reminded me of local Melbourne designer Nadia from Discount's piece from her graduate collection and it made me want to watch the movie again for some more fashpiration.

Me, Arnold from Mr Gadget and Alicia from Sea of Ghosts.

It was great to see Alicia from Sea of Ghosts and Arnold Mr Gadget. We enjoyed dinner at my sisters old work, Chocolate Buddha, with a view over the Tim Burton and Margaret Pomeranz interview on the big screen, and the very cool looking giant sun called the Solar Equation which is part of Fed Squares winter lights program.
