As a longtime admirer of Tim Burton’s whimsical, dark, and imaginative universe, I am absolutely thrilled about the upcoming exhibition at London’s Design Museum, “The World of Tim Burton.” Having grown up watching his films, I have always been captivated by his unique design aesthetic that manages to seamlessly blend the beautiful with the grotesque.
The Design Museum in London is set to highlight Tim Burton’s lasting impact with a significant upcoming exhibit.
The exhibition titled “The World of Tim Burton” is scheduled to open on October 25. It will offer an insight into the development of the distinctive design style of this acclaimed filmmaker. Additionally, it delves deeper into his hands-on and creative approach, as evidenced by over 600 pieces from his impressive career. These items include numerous expressionistic sketches and drawings, props, set designs, and costumes from his most renowned works such as Michelle Pfeiffer’s Catwoman costume from “Batman Returns” (1992) and Christina Ricci’s black and white striped dress from “Sleepy Hollow” (1999). Moreover, this will be the first time these items are publicly displayed, including Jenna Ortega’s Rave’N dance dress as Wednesday from Burton’s Netflix series, as well as her school uniform and original character concept drawings.
Attending the exhibition is Tim Burton: Designing Worlds – a fresh book that delves into the connection between Burton’s film ventures and design. The title features an exclusive chat with Burton himself, more chats with collaborators like Colleen Atwood and Mackinnon & Saunders, as well as essays penned by Imogen West-Knights and Ryan White.
“The World of Tim Burton” will run from October 25 to April 21 at the Design Museum.
