Cold War Modern

I had yet to go to the V&A, so I decided to head over there today. I only got there in time to see one show, so I decided I'd see one called Cold War Modern.
So, I didn't really know much about the exhibit before I went to go see it. I knew the time range it was focusing on, and that was enough to interest me. So, walking up to the first chat wall, I was shocked to read that the exhibit explored the role of art and design in the "Battle of Images" between the Soviet Union and the USA. Yes, these ideas make total sense to me, but for some reason, I was caught completely off-guard as I entered an exhibit that looked at the advancements in art and design which arose from both the US and Soviet side. It was an interesting show, but badly laid-out. I got an audio guide, which I abandoned after I couldn't figure out the order it was set up in. I also just felt so uncomfortable, because I have clearly been taught a very bias account of the Cold War. However, the exhibit got better towards the end, as there were many cool posters, some of which were clearly used in Shepherd Fairey's stuff. Also, they had a few outfits, but two of them were Pierre Cardin, which is not so relevant to US or SU. I had to leave earlier than I would have liked, because the museum was closing. It seems that I spent too much of my time standing around confused in the first two rooms to really enjoy that last one. There were interesting questions raised, but I just didn't really have time to digest them nor did I see how the pieces chosen really helped to support the ideas.
