Amelia’s Magazine | X Factor 2010: An Illustrated Retrospective

Illustration by Gareth A Hopkins

Walking into Sue Timney’s retrospective at the Fashion and Textile Museum, visit this site the viewer is greeted by the almost blinding black and white pattern that the company, Timney-Fowler, is known for. The relationship between Timney’s application of pattern and Op art are undeniable, the entire exhibition acts as an homage to one of the most vibrant elements of painting in Modern Art’s history.

The main room of the exhibition is dominated by an explosion of chairs, reminiscent of what Alice’s fall through the rabbit hole would have looked like if crossed with Beetlejuice. The ideas, sketches and prints of Timney-Fowler adorn the walls and the products the company produced (everything from pencil cases to china).

The vibrancy of Pop Art’s interpretation of household objects inspired the reoccurring motif of everyday objects, with some of the prints being described as “A design stream of consciousness” and “an extension of the sketchbook into an individualist statement.”

Upstairs, the exhibition wonderfully included Timney’s sketchbooks, personally nothing is more insightful than a glimpse into an artist’s sketches. Timney’s interpretation of the history of modern art within her designs preempts the recent revival of designers using specific artists within their catwalk collections.

Timney’s incredible application of print to all objects belies Timney’s background in sculpture and printmaking, which was in fact the rather wonderful sounding Interdisciplinary Tapestry Course, sadly as the Government’s proposed cuts land on Universities doorsteps, technicians and idiosyncratic courses will be one of the first things cut by Art departments.

My visit last week to the Fashion and Textile Museum compounded my sense of Governmental shortsightedness with regards to Higher Education and the humanities in particular. To compound the rise in tuition fees, the Coalition are suggesting the removal of up to 80% of the State funding Universities receive to subsidise the teaching of Humanities.

It over a month ago now that the first students protest took to the street, in the weeks since students and UK Uncut have taken their opposition to the Government’s austerity drive onto to the pavement. and occupied (most of the occupations have now ended) rooms within their University in protest against the Coalition’s Government’s motion to rise tuition fees. Sadly the motion was passed last week in the Commons and yesterday in the House of Lords.

Another year, pills another X Factor out of the way. I went through a period of not watching any telly at all, advice and oh how I used to poo poo this show, buy but then, in 2009 I got sucked in. It was the only break I used to allow myself as I was creating my first book Amelia’s Anthology of Illustration – a bit of enjoyably vacuous pop culture on a plate. And it was then that I discovered the joy of X Factor watched with my twitter stream open. Trying to think of the bitchiest tweets as fast as possible has now become a something of a national sport, and I thoroughly recommend you do both at the same time once the whole bloody thing rolls around again next year.

As for the final outcome? I couldn’t stand Cher Lloyd’s sneery face but thought her final effort was at least IN TUNE, whilst even on the same note the One Direction cuties struggled (harmonies, what are they?)

I loved Rebecca Ferguson’s voice until it started to grate on my nerves, as did the fact that she could not move, even singing the danciest of songs. I quite enjoyed some of Matt Cardle’s songs, but he was clearly not on form during the last few weeks. All in all, as could be predicted, I’ve heard better singers at small indie gigs.

What really grabs the audience is of course the whole spectacle – the cliched dramatisations of the contestant’s back stories, the ridiculously over the top stage effects and the outrageously expensive outfits and stupendous styling choices of the judges and contestants. Here, then, is a chance to revel in the sheer glory of the X Factor experience, as seen through illustrators’ eyes.
