for my deconstructing an exhibition project i went to Hendrix in Britain exhibition taking place at the handel house museum in central london. a two room exhibition with some artifacts from Jimi Hendrix, such as a guitar, jacket, photos, written lyrics, etc.. the rooms were small, rich in material, the walls were covered in pictures and posters from the musician. the mounting wasnt linear, i could spot different types of mounting and the boxes where the guitar and the jacket were in didnt match. that particular fact didnt affect the quality of the exhibition, for it gave the idea of "do it yourself" very much related to many of the material on display at the venue.
the Hard Rock Cafe collaboration is noted. Hard Rock Cafe and Hendrix's girlfriend, Kathy Etchingham, had a major role on this Exhibition and that is mentioned from the very start.
