Beginnings of contemporary Māori art All images & media in this story Missionary influences The first western forms and styles of art to produce a response from Māori were Biblical illustrations and other Christian imagery brought to New Zealand by European missionaries. One example is the carved Madonna and child made by a Māori convert at Maketū and presented to a new church in 1845. Practitioners of traditional arts such as carving and weaving quickly adopted the materials and technologies that came with European settlement. They received art education in the schools established by Pākehā. Multi-coloured illustrative painting features in place of the customary carved figures inside Rongopai, the meeting house built for the prophet and resistance leader Te Kooti at Waituhi (north-west of Gisborne) in the 1880s. This demonstrates the remarkable adaptations and innovations of Māori artists after the beginning of European colonisation. Individual contemporary artists It was not until the 20th century that individual Māori began practising the visual arts outside a customary, tribal context. One of the first Māori to take up easel painting, in the late 1920s, was Ōriwa Tahupōtiki Haddon, a Methodist minister who was also trained in traditional knowledge. In the following decade Ramai Te Miha (later Ramai Hayward, also called Patricia Miller) became the first professional Māori photographer. However, these were isolated examples. Early-20th-century meeting houses The most notable achievements in Māori art in the early 20th century were the carved and decorated whare whakairo that lay at the heart of the cultural revival initiated by Āpirana Ngata, the minister of native affairs. Ngata also pioneered the revival of customary fibre arts such as tukutuku (woven panels) and tāniko (decorative weaving). This work was advanced by the Maori Women’s Welfare League. Some of its members, notably Dame Rangimārie Hetet, were among the art form’s greatest practitioners. Past, present and future Darcy Nicholas, raised on a small farm in the shadow of Mt Taranaki, sold his first artwork for 30 shillings, at the age of nine. He later became a renowned painter and sculptor, and organised international exhibitions that connected Māori artists with Native Americans. Nicholas has said, ‘The special thing that Maoris have in the world is, they’re able to draw from the ancient traditions and also take their art right into the whole contemporary field. We carry two baskets – there’s the ancient one … and then there’s the new one and that one that is just beyond. So we’re always trying to plan that future.’1 Urban influences Fast-changing social and cultural conditions in New Zealand after the Second World War caused the relevance of customary Māori arts to be questioned. Māori from rural areas flowed into the cities seeking work and better living conditions. An urban Māori art movement began to emerge in the 1950s and 1960s among artists who had studied at university art schools. There they were introduced to Pākehā art practices and the types, styles, themes and materials of both classical and modern European art. These pioneering Māori artists included Selwyn Wilson and Arnold Wilson, who became the first Māori graduates with tertiary qualifications in fine arts. Freda Rankin (later Kawharu) and Margaret Sampson were the first Māori women to do so. All four became secondary-school teachers. Gordon Tovey’s disciples The most influential figure in this period, however, was neither Māori nor a practising artist. Between 1946 and 1966 Gordon Tovey, the visionary national superintendent of art and crafts in the Department of Education, oversaw a scheme to provide primary-school teacher trainees with additional specialist training as itinerant art and crafts advisers. Māori were among the first recruited, including Selwyn Wilson, Fred Graham, John Bevan Ford, Ralph Hotere, Kāterina Mataira, Cliff Whiting, Marilynn Webb, Paratene Matchitt and Sandy Adsett. A new generation of Māori artists emerged from the students of these advisers. In Northland Selwyn Muru and Buck Nin were among the earliest talents to come out of the Tovey scheme. Buster Black (John Pihema), a close associate of Colin McCahon in Auckland, developed a highly individual style of mystical landscape painting. 1. Land of my ancestors [ataata mamati].

The studio, led by Christopher Lee (associate professor in practice of urban design) and teaching associate Simon Whittle, was the second of the 3-year research and design study on the future of the Chinese city, the AECOM Project on China. The studio had 2 fundamental ambitions: the recuperation of an idea of the city as a project and the pursuit of alternative forms of urbanization in response to the challenges posed by the developmental city in China. The first ambition treats the project of the city as a cultural, political and aesthetic act; the latter as a strategic project for urbanization, articulated through its architecture, landscape and infrastructure. This endeavor is analytical and propositional in equal measure. Each year, the Project on China focuses on a particular theoretical problem and practical challenge posed by the model of the developmental city in China, using a paradigmatic city as a case study. The first project focussed on the problem of the megaplot, the basic planning unit for rapid and speculative urbanization, in Xiamen. The second project investigates the future of the city in city-regions and the effects of cross-border urbanization, with Macau as a representative cross-border city. The third project will examine the countryside in the context of state-driven initiatives to urbanize rural areas in China. The “Macau: Cross-border Cities” exhibition runs from 24 March to 5 April 2014.

My personal style has progressed from merely copying what the eye sees to a harsh and colorful geometric abstraction of a sometimes imagined reality. But the entire picture's design has always been important to me, even in my early work. I try to achieve a certain quality of design, no matter what style or medium I am experimenting with. Balance, harmony, unity of shape and color and other design attributes are really what my pictures are about visually, not what the object, animal or scene being portrayed is. My art is about the art. But my personal style also has great meaning to me. I call my style Claritysm, as unclear confusion frustrates me and gives me grief. So with my art, I try to pin reality down in a very clear and concrete way. I also try to lighten the viewers mood with my fun colorful art, I do not want to make others sad with my art. I also used to be extremely shy. So if my art is bold and daring, it gives me confidence that was hard for me to otherwise find. So my art tries to provide what I have had trouble finding in my own life. You could say that my art imitates what life wants to be. I hope that my art can make your life better as well. I received a Bachelor of Fine Arts degree from UW-Oshkosh in 1994. Drawing and Applied Design were my two areas. Thank you for enjoying my work.

Whether it’s asking Google a question, on anything and knowing you’ll get a decent answer quickly, or chiming in on a Facebook comments thread around the breaking news story of the day, we’re are talking to each other more than ever before. In this new era of information, we are witnessing a power shift, from a top-down broadcast model to a bottom-up collaborative one. Henry Timms and Jeremy Heimans wrote about this for a Harvard Business Review cover story, contrasting old power with new. “Old power works like a currency. It is held by few. It is closed, inaccessible, and leader-driven. It downloads, and it captures. New power operates differently, like a current. It is made by many. It is open, participatory, and peer-driven. It uploads, and it distributes.” (h/t to Stanford Social Innovation Review) Atkinson is an almost 75-year old foundation, trying to think like a startup, exploring new ways of communicating, connecting, and collaborating. In 2014, we started working with photojournalist Nick Kozak. We asked Nick to spend a day with support workers Acsana and Doreen, Dr. Danyaal Raza, and community organizer Rick Ciccarelli to see and learn what they do, and to use his camera to document the experience. Normally in photography we refer to the people as subjects, or in journalism we say sources. Both terms quite technical and detached, again reflecting a power dynamic. Sometimes, they are named in a caption but not always. Acsana, Doreen, Danyaal, and Rick were collaborators, not subjects, from the start. They were full participants in project meetings, given honoraria or compensated for missing shifts at work if necessary. I was asked to join the team in 2015, after the photos had been taken and selected, to see how we could weave their stories together into a cohesive narrative about decent work. Through a series of interviews, research, and meetings we decided to go where people were already sharing photos and having conversations about their jobs: social media. Inspired by Humans of New York, we used direct quotes from interviews on Facebook to share reflections on work, offering a personal portrait and welcoming reflection. We also told the story on Medium, a rising social network of writing founded by Twitter co-founder Evan Williams, to go deeper. Both our Facebook campaign and Medium story had sign-off from everyone involved. If new power is a current, we felt the electricity. While it took much longer than a traditional communications project, our experiment in digital storytelling was patient, participatory and peer-driven from start to finish. It started conversations and built relationships in new ways, beyond a traditional headline and deadline driven culture. It also allowed Atkinson to personalize decent work, often an abstract and academic concept, showing what it looks now and into the future. In daring to see what’s possible by opening up and sharing the storytelling process, we did just that.

Ha Nguyen reports. Tran Hau Yen The spent more than 15 years to complete his newly released book on Ha Noi entitled "Song xua Pho cu (Old Window Iron Works on Old Streets)". Lovers of the capital city will enjoy reading the book, which contains information on decorative iron gates, windows and fences and different balcony designs. The work is useful to architects, researchers as well as students. For his contribution, The, 44, a researcher and lecturer at the Viet Nam Academy of Fine Arts, was awarded this year's Bui Xuan Phai Prize – For the Love of Ha Noi. Inner Sanctum: What inspired you to write the book? I was attracted by Ha Noi's iron fences and windows since I was a young boy. For me they are the capital's beautiful cultural heritage. Inspirations for my research came from our condos at the University of National Economics. Apartment buildings are the places where the history of Ha Noi is kept as part of the city's heritage. I could never forget the feelings and passions that I've had whenever I enjoyed Ha Noi iron gates, railings and bars, particularly when I stood on a tram running from Mo Market to the streets of Bach Mai, Hue and Hang Bai to Hoan Kiem Lake, or from my home to Children's Palace to learn painting. My 70's generation was lucky to be the last to contemplate on tiny and ancient Ha Noi, which was peaceful and cleaner then. I fell in love with ornamental iron works from that time on. My book has inspired researchers into naming a seminar based on my book: Ha Noi Behind Iron "eyelids". They recognised that Ha Noi's beauty stems from these eyelids. I myself wished to find other faces of the capital that had been hidden in such lovely iron eyelids. Inner Sanctum: What message do you want to send to readers through your book? I'm not a real Hanoian, but I was excited to discover and write down what was hidden behind such beautiful iron gates, window and fences, as well as the architectural design of French buildings and Old Quarter streets. All were created for Ha Noi with classic charm, talent and politeness. To maintain an objective outlook, I spent time doing research on decorative iron works in Sai Gon (HCM City), Hue, Nam Dinh and the ancient rural village of Cu Da, about 20km west of Ha Noi, as well as Paris. My book presents readers with pieces of Ha Noi in the past and unconnected stories of local houses which remained after wars and troubled times. Through images in the book, you could recognise the beauty of the iron doors, windows and balconies of houses in Ha Noi, and hidden behind them are the living condition and human dignity, particularly the soul of the capital. Inner Sanctum: What were your advantages and disadvantages during the past 15 years that you did research to write the book? I was lucky to be the last generation to contemplate the city's beauty before it was sunk in the global waves of commerce with huge advertising sign boards that remain hanging uquibitiously on the streets. I have invested time and effort in travelling far and wide to all city corners to take photographs, records and design maps and conduct interviews with owners of houses with ancient iron works. I have had to run a race with the fierce pace of urban change in hopes that my book will become an effective tool for architects, designers and iron workers. I wish to thank organisations such as the UNESCO office in Viet Nam and the Japan Credit Fund for their funding, and mass media such as the The Thao&Van Hoa newspaper and the Viet Nam Gallery for displaying parts of my initial researches. I also want to thank individuals such as critic Phan Cam Thuong and many others for their effective help for and encouragement of my research. Inner Sanctum: What houses and constructions most impressed you? They include the houses of Hoang Van Son (14 Duong Thanh Road), Nguyen Thi Minh Yen ( 14 Phan Huy Ich Street), Ly Thi Lien (38 Cao Ba Quat Street) and Kieu Tuan (102 Hang Dao Street). I was most impressed with the wrought-iron doors of Pho Minh Pagoda in the northern province of Nam Dinh. The doors had been decorated with beautiful images of dragons that are now on display at the Viet Nam Museum of Fine Arts. From 1920 to 1940, the iron bars of Art Deco were the most developed of Ha Noi's architectural trends but still remained respectful of the national character which they have preserved. Their design system carried the significance of culture and history, creating a capital that became one of the most beautiful cities in the world. I've had a chance to contemplate the iron handrails and the roof dome of the Paris subway, which retains a steady position in French art history in particular and the world's fine arts in general. Inner Sanctum: What are your plans after Song xua Pho cu? Apart from doing research on decorative iron works, I have focused my research on the front houses of a street. I plan to continue writing stories of each front house of a street, their inside architecture and details connecting to man's fate in each house. — VNS Send Us Your Comments: See also:

Read more Chen's works have been displayed at exhibitions in USA, UK, Korea, Bangkok and Taipei recently. Chen also had solo exhibitions in 2001, 2002, 2006 and 2007 in Taiwan and has received several awards for his art. For many years, Chen has used thumbtacks en masse as his chosen form of media, creating a varied perception of the work through displacement and the optics of the arrangement within the space. Chen saw the use of thumbtacks to be a highly personalized material for predestine. Chen uses a nail gun, which allows him to use up to hundreds of thousands of mosquito nails (headless metal pins) for each of his masterpieces. He shoots them one by one into white canvases stretched over wooden boards, creating reproductions of traditional Chinese ink paintings. Chen aims to create a poetic sea of tacks or a physical scene with lights and shadows behaving strangely. In form, using the construction of points, lines, and faces as the basis of the phenomenon, through optics and the sight of the viewer or position changing, the reading of the work can be completed. It expresses a minimalist aesthetic when viewed as an entity. However, each area viewed independently has the ability to convey a "complex visual texture". The changes in brightness due to the light and shadow from arrangement of the tacks form a visually muscular structure, with strong highlights. The repetitive nature of the tacks and pins render a change in the qualitative nature of these intrinsically industrial objects, reducing their familiarity. Between the gaps and spaces, the viewer can appreciate and identify the warmth of non-mechanical labour in the creation of these masterpieces - the process is almost a homage to the great Chinese artists of the past and the discipline and meditation of the Buddhist monks, which all result in gratification through work. Although Chen's images are formed through a subtraction-process, via the individual placement of nails, his work displays elements of both painting and sculpting. Thus, this results in a multiple viewing experience, capturing and replicating the traditional elements of Chinese painting documented in Kuo Hsui's theory of painting (Lin Quan Gao Zhi), or the three 'extensions' of a mountain. Chen hasn't always worked with nails, however. He first started with another unusual medium, thumbtacks. For over a decade, he used them to make all kinds of installations and sculptures, from billboard-size mosaics on the sides of buildings, to creepy little dolls and even an 8m-by-4m installation on an art gallery floor, made from 340,000 thumbtacks all laid in the same direction so that they shimmered and waned as people walked by. He says it was fate that he changed from thumbtacks to mosquito nails in 1998, but admits he's been a lot more productive since he switched to using a nail gun instead of his bare hands. The 39-year-old artist spends up to 10 hours a day in his Guandu art studio, shooting thousands of nails into the canvas. Since January 2010 he has gone through five million nails, changed 25 nail guns and broken two air compressors. Considering the fact that one of his most recent works - a reproduction of Travelers Among Mountains and Streams, originally painted by Fan Kuan in 1031 - is made up of roughly 750,000 mosquito nails, it is no surprise his tools break down so often. He spent three and a half months working on this piece, trying to pierce the nails deeper into the canvas and hoping to highlight the contrast with the white background. 2003 Kaohsiung Annual Arts Competition" Excellent Award, Kaohsiung 2002 Accepted by Headlands Center for the Arts, Artist's Grant, San Francisco, USA (Sponsored by Council for Cultural Affairs, Taiwan) 2001 28th Taipei Annual Arts Competition, Excellent Award, Taipei Collections & Public Art 2007 - Public Art for Budai Port Administration Building Maze, VT Art Salon, Taipei Hua Hua Zhang, Taitung Railway Art Village, Taitung Aura Beyond II, Huashan Arts District, Taipei Aura Beyond III, Stock 20, Taichung Aura Beyond, Taipei Fine Arts Museum

Dufy, Raoul [French, 1877-1953] [ 20th Century Artists \| Fauvist Artists ] Raoul Dufy was known for his brightly colored and highly decorative scenes of luxury and pleasure. Critics argue that his paintings lack substance, while others say that they simply express a delight in life. Raoul Dufy was born in 1877 in Le Havre, Normandy, already one of the most lively centres of contemporary painting. His training was initially strictly academic, first at the Ecole Municipale des Beaux-Arts du Havre (where he met Othon Friesz and Georges Braque) and at the Ecole des Beaux-Arts in Paris. In 1901 he first exhibited his work at the Salon des Artistes Français. The following year he graduated to the Salon des Indépendants. With paintings such as ‘The Courtyard of the Louvre’ (1902), Dufy had shed all traces of Impressionism and Symbolism and had found his own voice. In 1905 to 1906 Dufy worked in the Fauvist movement, in which color was one of the most important factors to many though design was the primary concern for Dufy. He was intent on depicting the ‘unseen.’ He also encountered other challenging movements and centers such as Cézanne's Provence and Expressionist Germany, but being sure of his direction was never seduced by them, although he was certainly open to experimentation. Dufy invented rather than represented nature. He was extraordinarily optimistic and this is evident in his airy paintings. He understood the world in terms of decorative art and indeed turned his attention to textile design for a while, which like his paintings were a tapestry of clear colors. The figures in his paintings are often like characters in a play, for example ‘Harlequin in the Venetian Manner’ (1939) in which a particular figure takes centre stage and directs the emotions of the audience. In this way he found great joy in depicting public events with their pomp and ceremony, such as ‘The Coronation of King George VI’ (1937). Dufy died near Forcalquier, France, on March 23, 1953, and was buried not far from Matisse in the Cimiez Monastery Cemetery in Cimiez, a suburb of the city of Nice, France.

It is expected to round off on theÂ 28th ofÂ May. Yolacan, who is based in the United States said, the photographs were the product of her 12-month sojourn in Itaparica, Bahia in Brazil, where according to her, she developed an intimate and sensitive relationship with many of the local women from that region. One of the photographs displayed at the exhibition Through Maria series, theme of the exhibition,Â Yolacan discusses the issues of society, the human body, identity and death. The artist who was coming to Nigeria for the first time explained that there is no real message attached to her exhibition, adding that, â€œit is just for people to come and view and make their comments.â€ Dominating the space were photographs of women of different shields and substances. Though most of the photographs were labeled untitled,Â with the name of the models like (Regiona, Rose, Diadora, Celine, Vera, ) all 2007 series. Yolacan, a trained fashion designer made clothes with the animal parts, among them was a woman with a waist coat made with placenta of a cow. Also, there was a photograph of another old woman with a clothe designed with liver, some with testicles.. Most of the works are pictures of old women whose facial features, contoured arms and tarso were highlighted. And when asked on why she focused on women and the aged she said though she is not a feminist she devoted the work to women because â€œ The faces of older people tell stories because of the number of years they have spent on the earth and women are the people that bear most of the burden ,and having passed through the traumatic times and stress of life you can see the real face in them.â€ Explaining why she used animal skin to make clothes, Yolacan said, â€œit is all about the passage of time; over the ages and generations, identities have been lost and perhaps it will be more interesting to experiment with animal parts.â€ The choice of Brazil, to her has to do with the African- Brazilianâ€™ historic journey in the history of slavery and that she also found a common identity for her project in the Candomble native religion that make rituals that involved sacrificing animals. According to the curator of CCA, Bisi Silva, â€œin the series, the artist subverts regality by dressing her sitters in elaborate hand sewn couture costumes with trimmings of unusual materials such as velvet, satin, tripe, placenta, kidney and sheepâ€™s testicles. With the works Yolacan engages with issues of beauty, the body, colonialism, and death as a way of broaching the impermanence of things.â€ Continuing she said that â€œthe visit was not all about the exhibition, it coincided with the centreâ€™s three day workshop on fashion and photography which was held on the 19th to 21st of April, 2010 at the library space where the artist took the participants on ways of realising their mission in fashion.â€ Pinar Yolacan also featured in the centreâ€™s P.A,G.E.S, a discussion by artists and writers on 24th April. Yolacan was born in Ankara, Turkey in 1981, she attended Londonâ€™s Central Saint Martins College of Art and Design and Chelsea School of Art and Design, and got her Bachelor of Fine Arts at Cooper Union in New York City.

The theme of the second movement “Scene au bord du ruisseau” of Beethoven’s Pastorale Symphony was the initial “water source” of my little piano piece. Then Beethoven’s theme gradually becomes “A Flowing Brook in Yunnan”, a well-known Chinese folk song. The continuation of Beethoven’s “brook” to China’s “brook” symbolizes Beethoven’s spirit is immortal and the water is universal.“ Piano piece „A flowing brook in Yunnan“ – Aufführungen 28. Oktober 2014 – Uraufführung – Post Tower, Bonn – Susanne Kessel, Klavier Joan Huang (1957*) After the Cultural Revolution, Huang was one of the very few applicants to be selected from a gigantic pool of candidates at the time of reopening of the Shanghai Conservatory of Music; the closing of which during the so-called “Cultural Revolution” had denied ten precious years of musical education to many talented musicians. After receiving her BA in 1983, Huang was the only student to be chosen to study a “Master of Arts” under the guidance of Mr. Sang Tong, the President of the Shanghai Conservatory then. She was the first female student to receive the MA degree in Composition in the 59-year history of the conservatory. In 1986 Huang came to the United States to continue her education at the University of California at Los Angeles where she studied with Elaine Barkin, William Kraft, and Roger Bourland. She became very interested in creating a style of fusion of Chinese traditional musical language with Western contemporary compositional techniques. She has received several awards, including two from Phi Beta for international students, one Tanglewood Music Festival fellowship and two Aspen Music Festival Scholarships. She received her Ph.D. from UCLA in 1991. As a composer, Huang has had commissions and performances from outstanding organizations and performers. Huang’s The Legend of Chang-e won the first prize of 1994 Marimolin’s International Composition Contest. Other recently premiered works are: Along the River During the Qingming Festival (for Chinese Traditional Ensemble and Western Ensemble, cocommission by “Melody of China” and “Earplay”) in San Francisco for the “2012 San Francisco International Festival” and Lunar Jamboree (for orchestra, commissioned by Harvard-Westlake Orchestra) in Los Angles in 2013.

The Brazilian artist helped create a stunning visual for the Mar Sem Fim organization to bring awareness to the increasing plastic pollution that is harming marine life in our planet’s oceans. Felipe was kind enough to share the details of his project and tell us a bit about his art and how ZBrush has made an impact. Hello Felipe, thank you for sharing your recent work. It looks amazing! How did you get started in 3D? I started my career almost 10 years ago, when I was an art director trying to improve some key visuals with crazy ideas. I started studying 3D illustration to solve some of those pieces that I created back in the days. 3D totally got me and I focused my efforts to expand my knowledge by doing some courses related to the area, from traditional sculpture to animation (which I discovered was not really for me.) ZBrush has always been a source of inspiration to me. I remember being in love with Simon Blanc’s No More Wine project. It was one of the first contacts I had with the software and when I discovered that there was such an intuitive tool for organic modeling, it became clear to me that I had to dive in and learn some tricks of this program. This source of inspiration and all the good stuff produced by amazing ZBrush artists has never failed to impact me, and let’s face it, ZBrush is always involved in the coolest projects of the industry. Tell us about the Endless Sea project Mar Sem Fim” is currently a digital portal that houses all the material produced by João Lara Mesquita, a musician, journalist and photographer who is passionate about all matters related to the marine environment. Founding member of an NGO linked to the SOS Mata Atlântica Foundation, which since 1990 has been active in depollution. He is the author of a series of 90 documentaries that were broadcast for two years on public TV channels here in Brazil. Since 2015 he has been diagnosed with a rare type of cancer that prevents him from navigating, but not from continuing his fight by articulating winning movements in favor of the marine environment, such as the campaign I had the pleasure to contribute to. We looked for a way to visually represent the impact of plastic on marine life, plastic straws are only a gateway to this issue´s awareness, it is crazy to think that such a small and expendable object that is used in giant volumes has a significant impact on the health of the oceans. According to the World Economic Forum, there are 150 million metric tons of plastic in the oceans and if we continue in this rhythm in 2050 we will have more plastic than fish in the seas. How did ZBrush play a role in bringing this project to life? ZBrush was a key tool for us to make this illustration, first using the see-through tool and simple forms modeled with DynaMesh we could block the main shapes of the fish with ease. Then, we determined some loops, separating them into different Polygroups to be able to use ZRemesher more efficiently. With this base ready, I usually send the model to Modo where I make some adjustments in the mesh, if necessary, and mark the UV seams. I then return to ZBrush and with the UV Master plugin I open the UVs. In my opinion the mesh is very well relaxed with this tool, so useful! Then I only go back to Modo to organize the UVs. With Spotlight and some photos, I project a basis to model the details and paint the textures, which are then improved by hand in ZBrush and Photoshop respectively. At this stage, I have the fish with the textures ready and tested materials through some preview renders. After that, I return to the ZBrush with the low res meshes so that all the fish could be shaped in to form a cup, using the basic transpose tools. That´s it! I hope you have enjoyed the final result and that this theme becomes more relevant in our day to day, the complete project is available at Behance I can’t forget to mention that Young & Rubican Brazil was the agency that invited us here at Notan Studio to create these images and that I created with the help of the whole team and Raphael Perroni who helped us by modeling a base for the octopus.

When I hear this, I get all giddy inside because I KNOW that I can deliver images of you that you will love. "I'm awkward in front of the camera." Not in front of my camera, you're not! Being on the subject side of the camera is the worst. I get it. It's unnatural for me and I'm betting it's uncomfortable for you too. I feel exposed and the center of attention (which I hate). Let's work through these and any other insecurities together. I like to think of myself as a specialist in making people see how beautiful they are. Behind the Lens Whitney Boyd here, wife to Justin and mom to two littles, Caedmon and Reveille (unique baby names are my jam). I'm a Christian, a reader, and a lover of ice coffee and ice cream (Noticing a theme?? It's hot here in Tampa Bay!). I have been a natural light photographer for 15 years. I do my best to stay out of the studio with it's stuffy poses and boring backdrops. I like to find the light and marry it to your story.

In the building’s endless brick and the white-trimmed windows, Harvard’s federal-style aesthetic echoes like an architectural clarion call. So when Joe Umosella learned his company had won the bid to replace the residence hall’s rooftop balustrade—an installation spanning hundreds of feet—he knew they needed to do more than just preserve the building’s history. They needed to honor it, down to the daintiest of details. Joe Umosella – INTEX Blueprint Magazine “We had multiple meetings with the school’s architects. I think it took us more than a year to hammer out the finer points,” recalls Umosella, founder and president of INTEX Millwork Solutions. “This is Harvard. Every detail mattered.” Any Ivy League of their own During one of INTEX’s first meetings with Harvard regents and architects, Umosella was given a copy of Winthrop House’s original plans, including hand-drawn profiles that showed in surprising detail the building’s balconies, balustrades and other flourishes. After much back and forth, the team settled on the most aesthetically faithful design: a three-foot high balustrade on top of the parapet wall featuring indented rectangular newels, each flanked by a series of six turned balusters, capped by a tapered rail. In addition, the contracting company decided on extensive copper flashing to prevent leaks where the railing met the roof. Once the design was approved, the project took eight weeks to complete, and required Umosella and his team to have the sections painted before delivering them to the jobsite. “It was definitely one of the most complicated jobs we’ve done,” Umosella says. “We had to do our production schedule in phases to make sure we had the people with the right skill set to meet the required completion date on the site. It required a significant amount of logistical coordination.” Resurrecting history From updating the President’s House at Tufts University to rehabbing old churches throughout the Northeast, INTEX’s portfolio is heavy on historical buildings, though the materials—cellular PVC, aluminum and stainless steel—are unflinchingly modern. But the residential sector, accounting for hundreds of projects each year, remains the company’s bread and butter. In 2009, the company tackled one of its most challenging projects to date, this one on behalf of the Lewiston, Maine, housing authority. Built in the 1840s in the second-empire style popular at the time, the once-proud house at 111 Ash Street had fallen into disrepair. According to Umosella, the authority’s concern was that the retrofit heeded the home’s original architectural detail. What’s more, the custom millwork needed to be drawn, priced, fabricated and shipped in a matter of weeks. “They had brought a few people in before us who weren’t able to replicate the brackets and cornices,” Umosella recalls. “So we were operating on a pretty tight schedule.” Within days, INTEX had manufactured 82 new brackets—nearly identical to the original—with pre-fabricated dentil-molding applied to flat frieze boards and crown molding in between, all of it trimmed to fit with very little on-site labor required. By cutting new cellular PVC moldings to match the original, rather than sourcing custom moldings and fitting them on-site, INTEX was able to save the client thousands of dollars in labor costs. Not to mention weeks’ worth of time. “Because it was getting close to winter, it was really important that the project be completed before the weather turned,” Umosella explains. “Everyone walked away from that job satisfied with the results.” Built to last a lifetime Whether he’s poring over centuries-old schematics or trying to decipher a customer’s napkin drawing (this happens more often than you’d think), Umosella’s goal is always the same: to create something so durable that “we’ll never hear from you ever again.” Unless you have a referral, of course. Specializing in stainless steel, aluminum and cellular PV products—everything from rails and millwork to trellis and gutter systems—INTEX builds its products to withstand the gamut of coastal elements: sun, rain, wind, snow, ice, even salt. Joe Umosella – INTEX Blueprint Magazine While its customization skills are top-notch, INTEX’s core differentiator is its two-step distribution model, which allows it to sell products wholesale as well as through partnerships with lumber yards and building supply stores. “Not everything we do is custom; we also sell stock products, with an inventory that our competition just doesn’t have,” Umosella says. “That makes us pretty dynamic. We can tackle the whole spectrum of projects.” Having grown up in a family business, Umosella was inspired to start his own company in 2006—“my American dream,” he proudly calls it. Since weathering its own storm in the years following the Great Recession, INTEX has experienced steady growth, punctuated by a 79 percent increase in sales from 2015 to 2018. As the company looks to broaden its project footprint, down the Eastern Seaboard to the Gulf of Mexico and beyond, Umosella knows the architectural demands are bound to change. So long as certain things always stay the same. “Our estimating group is incredibly talented, and most of our team was carpenters in their past lives, so we understand the construction process and how to be flexible within that,” Umosella says. “We have a team you can trust, and we have products you can trus

Registrants will be emailed a link to access the program. The AIANY Cultural Facilities Committee presents its annual lecture on excellence in museum design, this year featuring Portuguese architect and educator Álvaro Siza. Siza opened his practice in 1954 in Porto, beginning with four private houses. In 1966, he began teaching at the University Porto, and later at Graduate School of Design, Harvard University; the University of Pennsylvania; Los Andes University of Bogota; and the Ecole Polytechnique of Lausanne. In the 1970s, his work expanded to include several public housing projects, which brought him international attention and acclaim. Following this period, he completed several notable museum projects, namely the Galician Centre of Contemporary Art (1993) in Santiago de Compostela, Spain; the Museu Serralves (1997) in Porto; and the Iberê Camargo Museum (2008) in Porto Alegre, Brazil. Siza has been honored with the inaugural Mies van der Rohe Award for European Architecture, the Alvar Aalto Foundation Gold Medal, Prince of Wales Prize for Urban Design, and the Pritzker Architecture Prize. For this event, Siza will focus on an individual project: the Ibere Camargo Museum in Porto Alegre, Brazil. He will revisit this award-winning project, providing a deep exploration of his process, the initial project research, and an analysis of the construction. Siza will take attendees on a journey from the initial design concepts to the final product in a way never heard before. Álvaro Siza Vieira Hana Kassem, AIA, LEED AP, WELL AP, Principal, Kohn Pedersen Fox Associates About the Speakers: Álvaro Joaquim Melo Siza Vieira was born in Matosinhos (near Porto) in 1933. From 1949-55, he studied at the School of Architecture at the University of Porto, where he also taught from l966-69 and was appointed Professor of Construction in 1976. He is a member of the American Academy of Arts and Science and an Honorary Fellow of the Royal Institute of British Architects, the American Institute of Architects, the Académie d’Architecture de France, the European Academy of Sciences and Arts, and the American Academy of Arts and Letters. He is also an Honorary Professor of Southeast University China and China Academy of Art and honorary partner of the Academy of Schools of Architecture and Urbanism of Portuguese language. Hana Kassem, Principal at Kohn Pedersen Fox Associates, has more than 25 years of experience in the field of architecture. She began her carrier in the office of Alvaro Siza in Porto. Since joining KPF in 2001, she has led the design of a variety of academic, research, cultural, transportation, hospitality, and commercial mixed-use projects across the globe, with current work in Brazil, USA, France, the Philippines, and China. Her design philosophy lies in the idea that design is human-centric, experiential, and should enhance well-being and fulfill social needs, creating dynamic and stimulating environments. Some of the notable projects she has led with her colleagues include the Red Hook Houses Resiliency and Recovery project for NYCHA, awarded an AIA Urban Design Merit Award in 2017, as well as the CUNY Advanced Science Research Center in NYC, a LEED Gold building that was awarded the AIA NYS Excelsior Award in 2015 and SCUP Excellence Award in 2020. Kassem serves on the AIANY Board of Trustees and is Founding Chair for its annual Leaning Out \| Women in Architecture panel. She also serves on the Van Alen Institute Executive Board of Trustees, where she initiated foundational thinking for the Neighborhoods Now project, which mobilized more than 150 architects to deploy their design skills in the service of neighborhoods in need during the Covid-19 pandemic. Kassem was appointed to serve on the Mayor’s Advisory Council for post Covid-19 reopening of NYC. She has taught at Parsons School of Constructed Environments for several years, formulating studio topics that focus on an experiential engagement with our environment, often focusing on marginalized communities; and will be teaching at the Yale School of Architecture this Fall.

M. located mountain town of Røros. A textile factory with its own history, because this is where the origin of a special foundation lies. It all started with the will of the director of a copper smelter, Peder Hiort, who left his fortune to the poor of Røros in the 18th century. The money was to be used to buy wool for distribution to the poor, who would use it to make clothing and textiles, which were urgently needed in the cold mountain region. The home workers delivered the products and received their wages for it. The textiles were then distributed to those in need. Many who had initially received wages for their work received the products back as a charitable gift. The will is still considered one of the smartest foundations in the north. The idea of the Hiort Foundation and its competences and quality standards were taken into a new era with the founding of Røros Tweed. A central spinning mill was set up, but weaving continued to be done at home, as it had been for over 150 years during the time of the Hiort Foundation. Today, all Røros Tweed products are manufactured industrially and using innovative technology to meet modern demands for quality and design. Thanks to the natural living conditions for the sheep, Norwegian virgin wool has another special feature: it is very elastic. If you squeeze the raw wool with your hands and then let go, it quickly returns to its original volume. This elasticity ensures that Røros blankets are so voluminous – and stay that way for a long time. The fact that Røros Tweed pays so much attention to purely Norwegian production is also due to thisAppreciation of regional traditions and social motivation. Røros, the only mountain town in Norway, is located 600 m above sea level. An amazing location for a textile factory that has a special history. The industrialist Peder Hiort (1715 to 1789) had stipulated in his will that his assets would be used to purchase wool so that the needy of Røros could use it to weave textiles in paid home work. In this traditionresponsible actionstands Røros Tweed and continues the basic idea of the Hiort Foundation -technically advanced and ecologically conscious.The products are designed and manufactured in such a way that the materials usedreused and returned to the material cyclecan be. This conserves resources, saves material costs and avoids waste. Norwegian wool from purely Norwegian production and close collaboration with leading Scandinavian textile artists and designers make Røros plaids one of the most renowned Norwegian quality products. Røros-Tweed has been awarded the Norwegian Design Council's “Award for Outstanding Design” several times.

Red Deer artist highlights the dinosaur connection of Alberta birds Jeff Powers is fascinated by winged creatures Dinosaurs still roam the Earth — or rather, fly from treetop to treetop. The latest scientific theory that birds are actually dinosaurs has inspired Red Deer artist Jeff Powers to create the exhibit Ornithurae: Dinosaurs in Your Backyard, at the Marjorie Wood Gallery in the Kerry Wood Nature Centre. The Texas native, who has lived in central Alberta on and off since middle school, grew up with paleontology books. As he began reading more about the direct connection between ancient raptors — many of whom sported feathers — and modern-day birds, he became fascinated with all winged creatures and the science behind them. The behavior of magpies, in particular, piqued Powers’ artistic interest. “When I see a magpie hopping through the yard, I see the lithe muscles of a hunting dinosaur,” he says in his artistic statement. While considered pests by some people, magpies are actually highly clever members of the crow and raven family. Powers says he has watched magpies pick up a stick and “weigh” it on their bill. They are determining which is the best part of the stick to hold onto, so an imbalance won’t interfere with flying. More mundane Alberta species, at least in terms of size and colouring — little chickadees and sparrows — are rendered by Powers in subtle ink washes, while a great blue heron is strikingly captured with traditional paint on canvas. His osprey and pileated woodpecker portrayals are particularly dinosaur like. The woodpecker holds his head like a Jurassic Park raptor, investigating a rustle in the bushes, while the osprey’s large yellow eyes seemingly reflect an ancient cunning. Powers discovered surprises through his bird research — such as the male ruddy duck’s bill turns a more brilliant shade of blue during mating season. Bohemian waxwings have a mating ritual that involves the passing of a berry back and forth between prospective partners, he says. And a social ritual features the passing of a mountain ash berry all the way down a row of birds lined up on a branch. One of Powers’ digital artworks shows a pair of Banff ravens huddled together like lovebirds in a snowfall. “They are insanely intelligent and mate for life,” explains the artist. Since taking visual arts at Red Deer College and receiving a fine arts degree from Lethbridge University, he has illustrated comics and children’s books. Avian subject matter has been his passion lately, because painting birds “is not only an exploration of the current world around me, but also an exploration of the ancient past of natural history,” states Powers. He hopes viewers of his exhibit come away with a greater appreciation — especially of the small songbirds so often taken for granted. The display is on until Friday.

Records date from 1877-1924, with the bulk dating from 1910-1924. The collection includes correspondence, approximately 1,000 photographs, handwritten and typed notes, fragments of a typescript on the American Art Association, pages from auction sales catalogues, newspaper and periodical clippings, and several sales catalogues. The records are organized in three series: I. Auction Sales, 1910-1923 II. Correspondence and Notes, 1877-1924, and III. Clippings, 1881-1924. The bulk of the collection concerns specific auction sales conducted by the American Art Association. Files contain inventories of the works, often with prices and names of buyers; black & white photos of the works and several of the exhibition installations; correspondence; sections of a typescript on AAA; handwritten notes regarding the sales; pages from sales catalogues; and clippings. Documentation of 70 sales ranges from a single typescript sentence to multiple folders of correspondence, inventories and hundreds of photographs of the items for sale. An additional 150 auction sales are represented in the files only by cursory handwritten notes. Some of the most heavily documented sales include "57 Paintings Belonging to Ichabod T. Williams" of February 3-4, 1915, "Charles of London, Italian, French & English Furniture, Tapestries, Rugs, Paintings, Porcelains, etc." of November 15-20, 1920 and "Palatial Mansion & Contents Collected by William J. Saloman" April 4-7, 1923. Also of note in the records is correspondence between Kirby and Arthur B. Emmons regarding several auctions in which works he owned were sold, 16 letters to Charles De Kay from correspondents other than Thomas Kirby, handwritten notes on George Inness, biographical comments on Thomas Kirby, and several letters concerning the controversy over the authenticity of the painting "Blue Boy" at the William H. Fuller Sale of February 25, 1898, including a letter from Francis Davis Millet. A few clippings and letters document Kirby's career prior to his affiliation with the American Art Association. Historical Note: Thomas E. Kirby (1846-1924), with his partners James F. Sutton and R. Austin Robertson, founded the American Art Association (AAA) in 1883, one of the premier art auction houses of its time. Known for his “million dollar voice,” Kirby conducted the sales himself, and is credited with creating the style of modern art auctions, instituting an atmosphere of elegance and style, and enforcing standards in order to counteract the negative reputation held by auctioneers of the day. Kirby’s son Gustavus joined the firm in 1912 and became half owner in 1915, upon the death of James Sutton. The galleries, located on East 23rd Street on Madison Square South, moved to 30 East 57th Street in 1922.

Her practice often takes the shape of queer and very intimate collaborations enquiring into/ exploiting the influx of desire and vulnerability as a form of protest in response to restrictive normative positions. She co founded The Uncollective in 2013 with Michael Kitchin and for the last 2 years has been in a relationship and closely collaborating with visual artist and choreographer Florence Peake. More recently, Eve has been creating digital collage images and video. Conceptually Eve views this practice as holding/ manifesting a sci-fi space where alterations of the self can exist outside of normative perception; an alternative way to view and embody the form of choreography and abstraction when dealing with implicating the queer self. Intrigued by the potentialities of the materiality of the body with the intangible digital, post-human space. Eve is in the early stages of developing a solo performance work with conceptual starting points: SPIDERS\|REVENGE\|QUEERNESS. Interested in the spider as a metaphor to discuss the lesbian body as a social threat and hauntology as a philosophy to imagine sexuality, displacement and otherness. Eve will be interrogating ‘queer aesthetics’ in terms of what is acceptable/deemed queer and is responding to shamed complex emotional states; codependency, jealousy, particularly revenge. How to talk about the complexities of queer identities and their uncodable, poetic presence.

Not at first, anyway. They certainly didn't bother Loring Cornish, a Baltimore artist who works in glass, assembled in colorful forms and panels. "It's waterproof," he said cheerfully at his first appearance at yesterday's annual Studio 6001 art exhibition in Baltimore's Mount Washington neighborhood. But as the sprinkles turned to a steadier rain, all around him artists were beginning to pack up their oil paintings, painted silks, craft jewelry and sculptures in hopes of better weather Sunday - the event's rain date. "We're definitely rescheduling," said Morris Wolk, 66, whose home, gallery, studio and spacious backyard on Pimlico Road have been the setting for the post-Preakness exhibition since its founding in 1989. An artist and former Baltimore City art teacher, Wolk shrugged off yesterday's rainout. "It is what it is," he said as he retrieved his own glistening stone sculptures from the rain and stowed them on wooden shelves in his art-filled home. There have been other rainy interludes since he and five other Baltimore artists first launched the show, he said, but not a washout like this one. Mostly, the eclectic mix of local artists has assembled in good weather, growing to more than 25 exhibitors over the years and attracting scores of neighbors, art fans and buyers to Wolk's lush backyard. "The motivation is basically artists who want to show in a relaxed atmosphere, sort of commercial-free, without all the busy-ness of Artscape," he said. It's the intimacy of the show, they like, but also the complimentary food and wine, and the low fees for exhibit space. Jerry Seaton, 63, is a landscape artist from Towson and one of the show's founders. "Artists are always looking for a place to show," he said as the rain picked up and he began gathering his canvases. He had a display of oil paintings hanging on Wolk's fence, mostly landscapes of Mount Vernon and other Baltimore settings, rich in blues and greens. "I'm intrigued by light," he said. Other local artists praised the Studio 6001 show as one of the best small art shows they've participated in, but they lamented that the slowing economy had made it more difficult to sell their work. Most said they keep at it because they love what they do, love being around other artists, and sharing their work with the community. Wolk's friend Edda Budlow ("I'm not an artist") busied herself yesterday helping those who were getting their work out of the rain. She's been helping out for years and knows most of the repeat participants. "A lot of the people who come here would love to be doing [art] full time, but they're not making enough money," she said. Being there "makes them feel good just to have people look at their work." For Genna Gurvich, 51, who emigrated from Belarus in 1997, the Studio 6001 show is a chance to share his contemporary oils with other local artists and the community. Is it selling? "Not so often," he said. "But it's not for money." "Artists need some conversation about art," Gurvich said. They talk about their latest work and where they're showing it. "We share information," he said. And he loves the leafy outdoor setting at Wolk's place. "It's very peaceful here." Some, like Cornish, are well-established. He has a display at the American Visionary Art Museum and the Reginald F. Lewis Museum of Maryland African American History and Culture in Baltimore, and is working on a large commissioned piece for the new downtown Hilton hotel. Others are new. Kim Gough, a 40-year-old Stevenson artist creates jewelry with gem stones and "precious metal clay" - a recycled byproduct of the photography industry that turns silvery when baked in a kiln. Only a year into her craft, this was her first Studio 6001 exhibit. "I met Morris ... and it sounded like a wonderful event," she said as water soaked her display table. The day's rainout notwithstanding, she said, "I've done well. People seem to like my work." [email protected] Studio 6001 will be held from noon to 5 p.m. Sunday at 6001 Pimlico Road.

ISCP’s mission is to support the creative advancement of contemporary artists and curators, and promote cultural exchange through residencies, exhibitions and public programs. Housed in a former factory in East Williamsburg, with 35 light-filled work studios and two gallery spaces, ISCP is New York’s most comprehensive international visual arts residency program, and the fourth largest worldwide. Photograph of Jane Farver, Detail from Double Portrait, Jane Farver and John Moore, 1983. c The John Coplans Trust Jane Farver was a globally celebrated curator who served as a dedicated trustee of ISCP. Her extraordinary role as a pioneering curator changed the lives of artists and shared their work with audiences around the world. As co-chief art critic at The New York Times and Pulitzer Prize winner Holland Cotter recently noted, Farver was a “vista-opener” who gave a huge boost to many artists and colleagues during her career, with her generosity of spirit and strong vision. As chief curator at the Queens Museum from 1992-99, Farver organized the hugely influential exhibitions Global Conceptualism: Points of Origin 1950s-1980s; Across the Pacific: Contemporary Korean and Korean American Art, and Out of India: Contemporary Art of the South Asian Diaspora. Out of India 'was one of the few surveys of its kind in the United States up to that time.’ (H. Cotter, ‘Indian Artists Look Westward, and Homeward, at the Queens Museum,’ The New York Times, 4 June 2015) It featured notable names such as Rina Banerjee, Homai Vyarawalla, Pablo Bartholomew, Allan deSouza, Zarina Bhimji, among others. Farver’s work with artists and movements outside of the West had an impact on contemporary art discourse that continues today. Jane Farver and John L. Moore visiting ISCP’s, Spring 2014 Open Studios. Image courtesy: The International Studio & Curatorial Program Archives The annual Jane Farver Memorial Fund residency at ISCP was launched in 2017 to honor Farver’s legacy by offering career-enhancing opportunities to gifted curators in New York City. It has been supported by a major grant from the Lambent Foundation, and by donations from many individuals who understand the real influence contemporary curators can have on the careers of visionary artists, and production of discourse and knowledge. Since its inception, four curators have received support from the Fund from across the Global South including Beirut, Mexico City-based and Guangzhou. The works of Zarina and Shahzia Sikander in this auction (lot 67 and 68) have been donated to ISCP by John L. Moore, Jane’s husband and noted abstract painter. The funds from the sale of artworks will provide a robust fully-funded residency experience for one talented curator in 2021. The residency will include 24-hour access to a private furnished studio space for three months; meetings with visiting critics; field trips to museums, galleries and other cultural venues; and participation in a public talk. It will also include a stipend for travel and housing, and funding to curate and produce an exhibition in ISCP’s 350 sq. ft. Project Space.

The black and white photographs, which are mostly gelatin silver prints, are 29 of Adams' most iconic pieces and are part of a selection of the Bank of America Collection. Ansel Adams (1902-1984) is a world-renowned photographer, writer, lecturer, and environmentalist who is considered one of America's greatest photographers. He is most known for his technical mastery of photography. His black and white images show nature with an intensity and purity that creates a sense of magnificence. Viewers are impacted by the experience of natural beauty and clarity within the frame. Adams published eight portfolios from 1927-1976 of his original prints, ten volumes of technical manuals, and authored nearly four-dozen books. Adams was born in San Francisco, California in 1902. From a very young age he was drawn to nature and the outdoors and his love for the environment would eventually become the subject of his work and photographs. During a family vacation to Yosemite National Park in 1916, Adams life, which at that time was being focused on becoming a musician, was turned upside down when he was given a camera, a Kodak Brownie candy box, by his father. With that gift Adams began the mingling of what would be his two true passions in life: nature and photography. Later on Adams worked with the Sierra Club, a group who was dedicated to preserving the natural wonders of the world, as a summer intern when he was 17 in Yosemite Park. Little did he know the lasting impact that his experience would have on him throughout his life; he would go on to create some of the most iconic images not only of the Yosemite landscape, but of the American landscape as well. The details and the light that he captures in his photographs are remarkable and have secured his place in history. Adams worked throughout his life to make photography a legitimate and authentic art form and eventually succeeded, which contributed to his massive legacy. Adams continues to influence the realm of art and photography; especially through the "zone system" he created. The "zone system" is an advancement that Adams made in the development and exposure process that continues to help artists to this day. "Ansel Adams: Distance and Detail" will run September 10- November 14. There will be a reception and gallery talk by Rebecca Senf, curator of photography, Center for Creative Photography at the University of Arizona, Ansel Adams Archive in the Martin Museum of Art, September 26 5:30-7. The museum will host a Free Lunch Monday, which will include complimentary lunch and informal chat with Baylor photography professors in the museum on Monday, October 21 12-1:00pm. Seating is limited and reservations are required by October 11. For reservations please call 254-710-6390. These events are free and the public is cordially invited. Are you looking for more News?

Find your favorite figurative artwork and bring home a true work of art! 1066 Hits 1066 Hits Getting to Know Figurative Photography Figurative photography is a type of figurative art which features people as its subject matter. Similar to portrait photography, figurative photography typically captures human subjects in artistic compositions. But whereas the portrait is a classic genre centered on revealing a personality - human or animal - the figurative is concerned foremost with the human figure. Figurative art as an artistic tendency was challenged in the 20th century by the ascent of new art forms. With the arrival of abstract art, artists increasingly came to take a variety of subjects which lay without the "real world" as their subject matter. In lieu of real subjects new trends in photography and other mediums featured shapes, patterns, and geometry. Figure painting, which alongside the landscape had been a dominant preoccupation of artists, was replaced by abstract movements with an ascendant focus on the spiritual, the elemental, and the refined forms (or formlessness) of nature. As a characteristic form of modern art, the figural "returned" - after long forays into the abstract, and into patterned modernist design characteristic of mid century modern art - in the late third quarter of the 20th century. Pop Art characteristically featured human subjects, including as featured in comic and graphic art. Today, while hyperrealistic art retains and expands upon strong references to the real world. its primary function is recreate reality in ways that may seem uncanny. In a long sequence of mutual exchange and progression, photorealism in painting opened the way for new currents of realist aesthetics, including in fine art photography. The LUMAS Collection of People Photography The LUMAS portfolio contains a wide range of artistic photography featuring people. Black and white photography, with its characteristic ability to depict reality with a kind of spare exactitude, is one of the preferred vehicles for fine art portraits. Our celebrity portraits feature some of the most iconic people in modern culture, from Marilyn Monroe to Frida Kahlo. Delivery to your country is not possible from this site.

Harvesting Clay: The Beauce Pottery in the 1940s will give visitors a chance to enjoy a collection of over 60 pieces of red clay pottery recently donated to the Museum from private collections. Harvesting Clay provides visitors with an introduction to an innovative artistic and social movement,” says Victor Rabinovitch, President of the Canadian Museum of Civilization Corporation. “These pieces reveal a Canadian link to a social craft movement that had also existed within several European and American communities.” The Beauce Pottery was founded in Saint-Joseph-de-Beauce in the early 1940s as a means of providing employment and additional income for regional farmers. The Pottery was one of a series of initiatives created by the Quebec Government to strengthen the province’s economy and provide a better standard of living. The Pottery was established, in part, because nearby deposits of clay were believed to be suitable for ceramics. The early pieces were made of this local red clay; but by the end of the 1940s, the limitations of this local resource led to the use of a white clay imported from the United States. The exhibition at the CMC focuses on the red clay pieces produced during the early years of the Pottery. “The story of the Beauce Pottery in the 1940s combines aesthetics with issues of income, growing urbanization and the maintenance of cultural traditions,” says Alan Elder, Curator of Canadian Crafts and Design at the Canadian Museum of Civilization. “The founders of the Pottery — including Henri Renault, a member of Quebec Premier Adélard Godbout’s government — looked to the British Arts and Crafts Movement as a model for the venture. The young farmers were to become self-sufficient, growing their own food and making their own furniture while also earning extra income through the sale of their ceramics.” While the Pottery ceased production in 1989, the widely varied shapes and colours of Beauce ceramics have ensured that they remain extremely popular with collectors to this day. Harvesting Clay: The Beauce Pottery in the 1940s is on display from May 4, 2008 to September 13, 2009 in the corridor leading from the Grand Hall to the Voyageurs Cafeteria, on Level 1 of the CMC.

It might be because growing up in Arizona can tend to be very colorless. Everything feels like it’s bleached by the sun and covered in a thin layer of dust. I feel like this is reflected in the people living here. The people are dusty and tired and colorless. Everyone seems to be collecting dust. The harsh sun makes it hard for me to make art, I feel drained of creativity and sweat simultaneously. That’s not to say there’s no color at all. I’ve met colorful people and seen colorful places. I’ve seen people who seek out color when it was previously wiped away from them. I see the orange dreamsicle sunsets and Easter egg colored canyons and remember that color always comes through. I have color in my memories. The pictures I’ve taken have color but when I look around in the moment it’s hard to find any. This photo project was me actively trying to find color over the weekend. Specifically, the colors pink and blue because these are the colors that make me happiest. I went on with my normal routine but with this project constantly in mind, scouring the desert for pops of pink and blue, increasingly motivated to find more color in my life. I often resent Arizona for its dullness but If there’s one thing this place has done for me it’s caused me to appreciate the colors I have to work to find. JAVAIS is a fine arts student whose goals are to have their art be in the MoMA and to be happy. Outside of art they love fashion, makeup, the beach and watching movies with friends. They also hope to watch the success of other girls and Non-binary people around them.

Around the Coyote bites the dust By Arts & Culture, Uncategorized Chicago arts institution is forced to close its doors By Jennifer Swann f0510_aroundthecoyote-02web Sugar, exhibition at Spring Around the Coyote Festival. Image courtesy of Patrick Cunningham Founded in Wicker Park in 1989, Around the Coyote exhibited local, international, and emerging artists for longer than most current SAIC undergraduates have been alive. That is, up until this past winter, when their much-needed fundraiser only raked in $2,000. This was the final straw for unpaid Executive Director Allison Stites, who decided that Around the Coyote could no longer operate on its own hind legs. It was time for the art festival that once characterized Wicker Park and the budding Chicago arts community to find a new home for its programming. A Failed Fundraiser Held on December 19, the Winter 2009 fundraiser cost only $30 to attend, and offered an open bar, dinner, and new installations by 28 artists. Invitations and advertisements piteously declared, “Save Around the Coyote from the brink of extinction! We won’t make it through the winter without your help.” But when attendance was nonetheless disappointingly low, Stites, who had once served as Development Director but had been volunteering her own time to serve as Executive Director for the past year, saw no reason to continue struggling. ATC had obviously lost its support in the Chicago community. Sure, resources diminish quickly in a bad economy, and art buyers aren’t necessarily willing to throw down the money they might have a few years ago; but still, why did ATC fade into the abyss of failed arts organizations while Chicago art fairs like Artropolis grow bigger every year? Stites credits the failure partly to the recession and her step down from a paid leadership position, which caused a decrease in ATC’s grant writing, sponsorship, and donations. “Since 2005, I have thought about basically every possible way the festival could continue in a stable way,” said Stites via email with F Newsmagazine. “Our festival was largely dependent on the donations of venues from local property owners and the donations of walls, lighting and labor from a major donor. That support was always uncertain year-to-year based on the amount and type of available space, how early we could get the property owners to commit. Always a Herculean effort was required to get enough secured space in enough time to properly promote the event; and if we would have to pay for all the walls, lighting and labor [for] it would be donated.” A Problematic Past Installation views of The Ease of Oak exhibition at the Fall Around the Coyote Festival.

Image courtesy of Patrick Cunningham Economic factors aren’t the only problems Around the Coyote has had to contend with; the organization has also struggled with a less than stellar reputation in Chicago’s art community. Catherine Forster, director of Chicago-based new media outlet LiveBox, met Stites in 2005, when she was invited to curate a new media component of Around the Coyote. Forster turned down the offer at first because she had been advised as an SAIC student not to get involved with the festival, which had a reputation for accepting all submissions and including work of questionable quality. Ironically, the work Forster showed at Around the Coyote back in 1996 drew the attention of an SAIC faculty member who encouraged her to enroll in SAIC for her MFA, which she received in 2002. Forster accepted the offer after realizing that Stites’ vision for the festival had shifted. ATC was no longer the neighborhood-centric, anything-goes festival that Forster remembered from the 1990s, where studios, galleries, lofts, and even churches, were taken over by artists and visited by thousands of people during the course of the weekend. “All kinds of things were happening in the streets, and the quality was really questionable,” said Forster about the festival before artists like herself were invited to curate and select the work, charge fees to have a booth, and thus transform the event into a more rigorous, quality-oriented arts organization. Forster signed on to expand and curate the media arts exhibition in 2007 and has curated a media space every year since she and Stites decided that the film, video, and new media work she curated would not be solely dependent on submissions to the festival, and that the work would not just be local, but international as well. But even with its careful selection of work, ATC struggled to find its audience amid frequent location changes — everywhere from galleries in Wicker Park to lumber yards in the West Loop. “I think one of the problems was that [ATC] hadn’t really convinced the broader art community that they had moved up in quality and [that] they were becoming something much more interesting and edgy,” said Forster, who claims that the festival had upset their old audience of local artists in Wicker Park by way of exclusion, but hadn’t been embraced by a new audience elsewhere. “There was just no place for them anymore,” Forster said. “It seems, usually, people either loved what we did or hated what we did,” said Stites via email. “With each executive director over the past 20 years there have been different aesthetics, different programming goals and different ways of executing the programming.” “My focus since 2005 was on professionalizing the exhibits; gaining access to established galleries, art patrons and curators for the artists in our festivals and gallery exhibitions; and raising the quality of the art we showed in hopes of showing what a serious independent and alternative art scene there is in Chicago. “With the amount of resources we had, and a real amount of baggage and misperceptions to overcome about who we were, I feel I was able to do that a little bit better each year, and I’m proud of what ATC has offered while I’ve been there.” Promoting Young Artists Around the time ATC was “professionalizing” its image, SAIC students like Patrick Cunningham, a 2nd year Art and Technology graduate student, saw opportunities to gain experience curating at a festival that had made a name for itself with in the city. “Around the Coyote gave young artists the chance to get accustomed to professionally show their work; install and prepare and do that sort of stuff. It’s sometimes more difficult to gain that experience right out of school or even in school,” said Cunningham, who began curating pop-up art shows in vacant retail spaces for Around the Coyote in 2009. “I think for many organizations, if not all, there is a natural life span,” said Stiles. “My hope is that with Around the Coyote closing, the baggage we carried is shed, and there is room for other organizations to step in to continue the best of what we did — and to do it hopefully better. I hope people can build on what we built and I’m doing my best to make sure the lessons we learned aren’t lost.” Stites is donating ATC’s old equipment such as computers, lighting, and office furniture, to small, non-profit Chicago arts organizations in need. Future Plans Around the Coyote’s programming will be redistributed around the city as well, such as the free children’s art education program, which will continue through the Chicago Park District. Some of ATC’s gallery exhibitions will be transferred to other local galleries, and Stites will shift her energy to curating a pop-up gallery program throughout Wicker Park and Bucktown, which she hopes will fill some of the void left by ATC. Perhaps most notably, Stites, in addition to dozens of displaced ATC participants like Forster and Cunningham, will continue to curate independently for other Chicago galleries and organizations, the majority of which will exhibit emerging artists. 2 Responses to Around the Coyote bites the dust 1. It is unfortunate that when drawing comparisons to other arts organizations in this article the author chooses to dwell upon “Artropolis.” Surely Threewalls, Links Hall or a similar sized non profit would have been more appropriate. Artropolis is an umbrella festival for Art Chicago, Next and the Antiques show. Non of these shows are non profit endeavors. Their clients are galleries and art / antique dealers. Without the “Artist Project” component Artropolis no longer has an “artist” section. Around the Coyote catered to artists. Without ATC Chicago now lacks an art fair for artists. Artropolis’ parent company is MMPI. http://www.merchandisemartproperties.com/ MMPI own the building Artropolis is produced in, they own the walls, lights and so forth, and have a massive infrastructure built in with every show they do. Of which Artropolis is but one event of approx. 75 annually. MMPI is in turn owned by Vornado which is “… a fully integrated real estate investment trust (REIT). Vornado is one of the largest owners and managers of real estate in the United States with a portfolio over 100 million square feet in its major platforms, primarily located in the New York and Washington, DC metro areas. The company’s four major platforms include: New York City Office; Washington, DC Office; Retail Properties and Merchandise Mart.” http://www.vno.com/about/ Gross earnings for Vornado are somewhere in the region of $2.7 billion dollars for 2009 according to their annual report. This is a bit like comparing your local independent owned coffee shop to Starbucks, Dunkin Donuts or Macky Dee’s. ATC definitely had the perception of quality control issues. But seeing as taste is entirely subjective, and that fashion follows trends it’s always going to be difficult for an organization that offers a “semi” democratic approach to showing art to also be an effective gate keeper in terms of content and style. Around the Coyote was an important part of the arts community here in Chicago and it will be missed by artists and audience alike. It was a 30 year institution no mean feat in this city. Perhaps the author might have spent more ink on this achievement than brow beating the current ATC staff about it’s demise. The real question should have been who will step up to the plate now and provide artists (not galleries) an opportunity to show their work in an “art fair” context here in Chicago. 2. Yes!

Emerging high-tech hardware and software facilitate ubiquitousness and functionality of digital photography. Because composition matters in photography, researchers have leveraged some common composition techniques, such as the rule of thirds, the triangle technique, and the perspective-related techniques, to assess the aesthetic quality of photos computationally. However, composition techniques developed by professionals are far more diverse than well-documented techniques can cover. We leverage the vast under-explored innovations in photography for computational composition assistance, and there is a lack of a holistic framework to capture important aspects of a given scene and help individuals by constructive clues to take a better shot in their adventure. We propose a comprehensive framework, named CAPTAIN (Composition Assistance for Photo Taking), containing integrated deep-learned semantic detectors, sub-genre categorization, artistic pose clustering, personalized aesthetics-based image retrieval, and style set matching. The framework is backed by a large dataset crawled from a photo-sharing Website with mostly photography enthusiasts and professionals. The work proposes a sequence of steps that have not been explored in the past by researchers. The work addresses personal preferences for composition through presenting a ranked-list of photographs to the user based on user-specified weights in the similarity measure. We believe our design leveraging user-defined preferences. Our framework extracts ingredients of a given snapshot of a scene (i.e. the scene that the user is interested in taking a picture of) as a set of composition-related features ranging from low-level features such as color, pattern, and texture to high-level features such as pose, category, rating, gender, and object. Our composition model, indexed offline, is used to provide visual exemplars as recommendations for the scene, which is a novel model for aesthetics-related image retrieval. We believe our design leveraging user-defined preferences The matching algorithm recognizes the best shot among a sequence of shots with respect to the user’s preferred style set. We have conducted a number of experiments on the newly proposed components and reported findings. A user study demonstrates that the work is useful to those taking photos.

They reside in Dharamsala, India, in the Himalayan Mountains where they have established 'Center for Living Buddhist Art.' The Center includes ‘Thangde Gatsal Art School and Studio’ and ‘Museum of Himalayan Arts’ Museum of Himalayan Arts connects us to the rich cultural heritage of India and Tibet. The museum aims to generate awareness about the Buddhist art through contemporary quality thangka works based on the tradition carried forward by Indian and Tibetan masters. This museum is a window to the 2,300 years old journey of the tradition of Buddhist paintings and the evolution of art through ages and geographies. The museum exhibits the finest master pieces created by Master Locho and Sarika Singh. Thangka Paintings are one of the most familiar forms of Buddhist paintings we see around. As Buddhist scroll paintings travelled from India to Tibet around the 7th century A.D., they were known as thangka paintings. Thangka paintings developed and flourished for over a thousand years in Tibet. After the occupation of Tibet in 1959, His Holiness the Fourteenth Dalai Lama sought asylum in India. Tibetan masters and the artists carried with them the rich tradition of Buddhist paintings back to its Indian birthplace. India became the new soil for the preservation of the Tibetan Buddhist art and culture with Dharamsala in Himachal Pradesh in Northern India, as its epicentre from where the Buddhist teachings and art was to spread to rest of the world. Master Locho is an eminent thangka painter. He was born on January 15, 1970, and presently resides in Dharamsala, India. Master Locho has studied thangka painting since 1988 under the guidance of Master Tempa Choephel, a Master teacher at the prestigious Norbulingka Institute located in Dharamsala. The Norbulingka Institute is a center for preserving Tibetan arts and culture, and Master Locho worked there as an artist and then as an Assistant Master until 2001.He is committed to the practice and preservation of the Buddhist Paintings in its traditional form and has transmitted this knowledge to students from over the globe. He is currently considered one of the finest and most senior teachers of Buddhist paintings and has created over 300 Paintings in his life over a period of 35 Years. After completing her graduation from the prestigious Lady Sri Ram College, University in the year 1997, Sarika was blessed with an opportunity to Buddhist thangka paintings at Norbulingka Institute in Dharamshala the tutelage of Master Tempa Choephel. In 2015, after studying Thangka painting, she pursued her Master’s degree in Buddhist and Tibetan studies from the Panjab University, Chandigarh. In 2021, she completed PhD from Central University of Himachal Pradesh. Co- founder of Centre for Living Buddhist Art and Himalayan Art Museum, she is perhaps the only Indian female Thangka painting masters in the world and is the main driving force behind preserving and promoting this ancient artform.

This new exhibit took months to compile and weeks to set up and is now ready for the public to come and explore. Amy Fill, Director of the University Art Galleries and the curator of this exhibit, said the importance of this exhibit is to share new perspectives. “This exhibit showcases the creative works of our college, and brings the community together,” Fill said. In this exhibit, all forms and media of art were brought together in one place. This exhibit has more than just artwork on the walls, but also books written and edited by staff and videos of music and theatre. Fill said it gives students an opportunity to see what faculty are doing throughout the college. A playwright exhibit is displayed by the Assistant Professor of Directing, Joe Stollenwerk. He wrote a 10-minute play that is displayed throughout the gallery. “The way it is set up, it lets the work speak for itself,” Stollenwerk said. The script is broken up into different sections so it could be read out of order, or not all of the pages could be read. Stollenwerk wants to send this play out into the world, and with this exhibit, he is getting a start. “Jan and Joe” is a very personal play to Stollenwerk because the main character is a fictionalized version of himself. He said it took a lot of thinking to finally decide to share his writing, but that it felt right. Stollenwerk has tried to get playwriting back into the Fine Arts building. He has resurrected the art at USD, along with his acting and gender studies classes. It is important to him to share his work and inspire his students and the world around him. This personal piece of work is the most recent of Stollenwerk, even though it has taken him years to finish this play, he is finally ready to share it with the world. Stollenwerk isn’t the only faculty member that is getting the opportunity to share their work in this exhibit. Sophia Wermers, Gallery Assistant, has a display of postcards up in one of the corners of the gallery. Wermers’ postcard installation also includes an interactive makers table, where visitors can make their own postcards and add them to this exhibit. “This is a way of exploring new ways of thinking about a gallery space,” Fill said. The people of this gallery are excited to share their works and bring people together. Fill and Stollenwerk said that this is an exciting new experience and exhibit where people of all walks and art backgrounds can come together. Expanding the variety of art is showing students, faculty and the outside world new inspirations from galleries and artwork exhibits.

I'm not an architect, but sometimes an architect isn't who you want doing your architectural renderings. I can bring a more aesthetic approach to rendering a building, interior or venue. Sometimes the engineering accuracy of an architect is overkill and you just need to know what the inside of your restaurant or office will look like. Particularly in the case of making proposals for future construction no one wants to get bogged down in a discussion about the style of park benches outside or some other point of trivia. In that case an I have no problem keeping the specifics vague while still making the place look like somewhere you would like to go. The maps I make can also be described as architectural renderings and I use some of the same software as architectural firms use to make them. I sometimes work from CAD files and I have collaborated directly with architectural firms. That having been said, if you need the precision, licensing or engineering prowess of an architect you should hire an architect, but under many if not most architectural rendering circumstances I may be a perfect fit for your needs. SketchUp, formerly Google Sketchup, is a 3D modeling computer program from Trimble Inc. It's uses range from architectural, interior design, marine architecture, civil and mechanical engineering, to film and video game design. SketchUp isn't for character design or anything like that, but it's great for architectural rendering and technical projects using basic shapes. When I first started using SketchUp in 2012 for The St. Petersburg Power and Sailboat Show map I was just looking for an alternative to isometric drawing for map illustration. Since that time I have found a broad range of uses for SketchUp and use it on an almost daily basis. If you would like me to build something for you in Sketchup please contact me for a quote.

Online Zoom Event Please join us for a lecture with: Professor Tsewang Tashi, Tibet University Pema Bhum, co-founder and leading director of The Latse Project Moderated by: Yuyuan (Victoria) Liu, PhD Student, Department of East Asian Languages and Cultures, Columbia University Contextualizing the early development of modern art in Tibet during the 1940s, Professor Tsewang Tashi will speak about two major figures at the time, Gendun Chophel (1903–1951) and Amdo Jampa (1911-2002). Both artists had been greatly influenced by factors of modernity. Gendun Choephel was a scholar, writer and poet who had not only made remarkable contributions to the studies of history, religion, philosophy and literature of Tibet, but also learned western realism and other painting techniques besides mastering traditional Tibetan Thangka painting. Amdo Jampa was a Thangka painter who had been engaging in a variety of painting styles, including traditional styles of Tibetan, Chinese, socialist realism, and modernism. His mural paintings in Takden Mingur Palace at Norbulingka in Lhasa is a groundbreaking artwork of the early modern art in Tibet and has inspired many later artists who are familiar with traditional visual vocabulary. His life span almost covered the entire 20th century and he had personally experienced the many historical events in Tibet, which in turn is reflected in his lifelong art productions. The two painters’ life stories, art productions and close relationship with each other indicate the complex and dynamic nature of art development in the modern history of Tibet. Professor Tsewang Tashi will give an introduction lecture of the two artists and then speak in conversation with Pema Bhum, Director of The Latse Project regarding the details of the two artists’ biography and friendship. The event will end with a Q&A session. About Tsewang Tashi Dr. Tsewang Tashi was born in Lhasa, Tibet, in 1963. He is an artist, a curator and a professor at the School of Fine Arts of Tibet University. He received the Bachelor of Fine Art from Minzu University of China in 1984 and later earned a master’s degree from Oslo National Academy of the Arts in 2002 and a PhD from Norwegian University of Science and Technology in 2014. Tsewang Tashi conducts research mainly in the theory, history and creation of modern and contemporary art and art education. He has published the book Modernism in Tibetan Arts: The Creative Journey of Four Artists. He is one of the founders of Gedun Choephel Artists’ Guild, Deputy Chairman of Tibet Oil Painting Association, Deputy Chairman of Lhasa Artists Association and a member of the Committee of Tangka Art Exposition. He has also recently published A History of Art in Twentieth Century Tibet in 2018. Tsewang Tashi's work has been included in many books, including The Museum on the Roof of the World: Art, Politics and the Representation of Tibet (Clare E. Harris, 2012, University of Chicago Press), The Condition of contemporary Oil Painting in China (Leng Lin, Zhao Li, 1993, Beijing, Jinri China Press), periodicals and medias, including The New York Times, Orientations, ArtAsia Pacific, CCTV, among others. About Pema Bhum Pema Bhum was the director of Latse Library for 17 years, He is currently a co-founder and leading director of The Latse Project. This event will be conducted via Zoom.

For Delhi-based artist Ankon Mitra, an architect by education and an origami artist by passion, paper sculpting is a fulfilling creative conduit. His latest solo show A Pilgrim’s Progress, atGallery Art Positive in the capital city, is his exploration of the folded universe of origami in 15 materials, at a point when he has completed 15 years of origami practice. “Paper is one of the most versatile materials. It is affordable and available easily, combining strength, flexibility, and high precision. Both fragile and very robust, it can be cut, wet- moulded, sculpted, scratched, crumpled, creased, rolled, torn, painted over, joined to itself and other sheets with ease as well as preserved so well that full scale structures and architecture can be created with (see the examples of Shigeru Ban’s projects created with cardboard paper rolls),” says Ankon. “Working with this material sparks the imagination and opens dimensions of thinking that I didn’t know were possible.” He confesses that though all his explorations start with paper, they do not necessarily end here. “Paper is the perfect material for exploring complex geometries and then final works can be created in metal, stone, concrete, glass, resin, leather, anything. Paper sparks the imagination and opens dimensions of thinking that I didn’t know were possible.” From Lokta paper from Nepal, to Cordenon cardstock from France, hand-made cotton rag paper from Tara Gram, Madhya Pradesh to Fabriano paper from Italy, from washi paper from Awagami, Japan to stone-paper from the Netherlands, he has experimented with all textures. The lithe and limpid swirls and flowing lines are almost hypnotic – in Radha Krishna Raas Lila, and Forest Peacock. “When Radha and Krishna dance in the Vrindavan forest, amidst a multitude of gopikas, Krishna multiplies himself for every gopika. This creates a swirl of devotion, love and divine energy, as every gopika feels she has Krishna completely to herself. She is right, but Krishna also belongs to everyone. He is intimate to you and me, and to the universe. I have projected this feeling through my creation: we can see the individual dancing couples, and everything melds into a universal energy of dance and light,” explains Ankon. The Forest Peacock is a collaboration with Tholu-Bommalata (shadow puppetry) artist Anjanappa from Nimmalakunta village, Dharmavaram, district Anantapur, Andhra Pradesh. A dialogue between two peacocks on parchment leather that has been folded to give the expression of an ancient scroll or palimpsest. “The light coming through the work signifies a look at mythology, indigenous forest culture and a deep appreciation and respect for nature: all things threatened by man. By collaborating with artisans, a city born and bred artist seeks to re-establish a tenuous link through artisans who have an ongoing dialogue with Mother Earth. As the two peacocks engage in dialogue, upside down with respect to each other, the work reflects on the topsy turvy nature of relationship with the earth at present. We can exploit her resources, but we cannot understand her nor comprehend what she says.” The Golden Fruit is an ode to the mango splendor in Totapuri, Dussehri, Banganpalli, Safeda, and Alphonso. “Our eyes light up when we savor the fruit, making me light up the creation,” he adds. The magic of inserting light into an origami creation celebrates the grains and textures layered within, variables thicknesses showing up as light and dark spots, and when combined with folds reveal a mosaic of brightness and shadows. A surreal play. “It is almost a feeling of not folding paper, but of folding the light itself,” muses Ankon. The materials run through aluminium, brass, resin, various paper types, wire mesh and more. An Audacious Dream of Utopia brings in breathtakingly intricate lines. “This work was first conceptualized with the interior designer Joya Nandurdikar for a little girl’s room,” shares Ankon. “The bird’s forms were meant to inspire and fill her with positive energy. Our children are like caged birds presently as the education system stresses on rote learning. The superfluous lifestyle of flashy fashion, high-tech gadgets, unending parties and material wealth, creates an environment where we seed unhappiness and despair. In this work I imagine a world where children find meaning in the work that they do, in the life that they lead, flying towards a dream where they are one with the creatures of the earth, and their actions enrich the planet.” Shilpi Madan for Sunday Herald Read the Full Story A compulsive, non conformist wordsmith. A sybaritic connoisseur of all 'tis epicurean. An insatiable sybarite. An incurable book-chomper. For me, there is nothing more powerful than the excitement of shaping the written word. I simply live to write.

The studio was created by WSDG, and saw studio owner and Golden Melody Award-winning recording engineer Li You join forces with Wu Yongheng, (AKA Bei Bei, a well-known drummer and record producer in China) and leading pro audio exec Lizzy Zhou to address the country’s rapidly expanding desire for pop and rock music. “With China now acknowledged as the world’s second largest economy, we have seen a huge increase in the market for popular music. Over the past ten years a number of major artists have developed tremendously loyal followings here. China’s appreciation of recorded music is enjoying phenomenal growth," said Li You. "As our discretionary income increases, and as talented new artists create music that appeals to large numbers of fans, this time in our history appears ideal to establish a recording studio and record label to meet this demand.” With the aim being to create the highest quality recordings possible, Lizzy Zhou reached out to WSDG. “Founding partner, architect/acoustician John Storyk, has a global reputation for outstanding studio design,” Zhou remarked. “WSDG studios are exemplary, from Jimi Hendrix’s historic Electric Lady in 1970 to NY’s Jungle City and Paul Epworth’s amazing The Church Studios in London, both of which are highlights of WSDG’s 11 TEC Award-winners list, [and] made them our only choice. “WSDG partner/project manager Joshua Morris did an excellent job of coordinating this international project. His experience and professionalism helped make a complex process extremely efficient and gratifying. WSDG partner/director of design Renato Cipriano traveled from Brazil to perform the final room tuning, and the speakers in our control rooms sound absolutely incredible. We could not be happier with our beautiful new recording studio." Ensconced in the basement of a residential building in one of Beijing’s most exclusive quarters, the 5,000 sqft 55TEC complex is structured to meet the most sophisticated recording requirements. WSDG partner Sergio Molho reports that the Studio A control room has been precisely tuned to provide ‘a superlative listening environment,’ fabricated with extensive perforated wood and slotted metal wall and ceiling panelling, and highlighted by a custom rear wall diffuser. A striking glass-framed image of a vintage Teletronix compressor/limiter tuning knob is positioned on the wall to the left of the console and opposite the soundproof window into the 500 sqft live room (pictured, above). The 55TEC management team’s technical expertise enabled them to outfit their studio with equipment such as an API 1608 console; Quested Q412D, QSB118 and Barefoot MM35 speakers; Burl B80 Mothership; Pro Tools HDX and a host of outboard gear housed in a custom-built desk (pictured, above). Built for mastering/post, Studio B’s 230 sqft control room and 150 sqft iso room meet the same exacting acoustical standards. Studio B (pictured, below) features an Apogee Symphony 64, Grace Design M905, Meyer Sound HD-1 and B&W Nautilus 801 Speakers and Jeff Rowland Amplifier. “We were honored to have been selected to design this important new studio, and to have had the opportunity to make a meaningful contribution to China’s thriving pro audio industry,” Sergio Molho said. “Li You, Bei Bei and Lizzy Zhou, have impressed us with both their enthusiasm and their realistic business plan. They have built a world-class studio, and they are developing an incredible group of artists. They share a deep affection for music, and they are fully committed to creating a meaningful place in China’s (and the world’s) musical community. We will watch their success with great interest and pride in having helped them create their wonderful new studio." http://www.wsdg.com

The weather is getting warmer, and all the flowers are blooming. It’s not too hot, but not too cold either. But if you want to make your sketchbook more interesting and appealing, you can do a few things to spice it up for April. Change the Format of Your Sketches The most obvious way to make your art more interesting is to change how you draw your sketches. Sketches don’t necessarily have to be done with pencil and paper! There are many ways you can get creative with your sketchbook pages: Try Materials Other Than Paper You can also jazz up your art using materials other than paper or canvas. Instead of colored pencils, try a marker, watercolor paint, or other types of paint materials; it will also help with your creative juices and expression. You can also change your type of pen or paintbrush if you want to keep using the same materials. How to Improve Your Drawing Skills Drawing can be a fun and enjoyable way to pass the time and express yourself. It also helps you become more creative and open-minded. If you’re new to drawing, some techniques can help you progress faster and get better in less time. Below are some tips on how to improve your daily drawing skills: Practice makes perfect! The more you draw, the better you’ll get at it. Don’t expect to draw a masterpiece on your first try or after a few weeks of practice. Just keep practicing, and eventually, you’ll see your first successes! Start small! Don’t try to draw something complicated or detailed right away – start with something simple, like an apple or a flower, and then progress gradually as you gain more confidence. That way, you can pick up your pace, so it won’t seem so scary when you get to that point! How to Improve Your Creativity Creativity is a skill that can be learned and practiced. You don’t have to be born with it. Creativity is used in both the arts and sciences, making it an important skill for everyone to develop. To improve your inspiration, there are some things you can do. These include: Take time to relax You must take time off from work and relax. This gives your brain a chance to think about things other than the task. When you return to work, your mind will be refreshed and ready for new ideas. Learn Something New Every Day Learning new skills can help improve your creativity by introducing you to new perspectives and ways of thinking. If you learn something new every day, it’ll take a long time to run out of things to learn. Creativity often means going beyond what others expect of us or our work, so try something new or different when solving problems or completing tasks. For example, if you need to solve a problem at work that requires creativity, come up with different solutions rather than trying one solution over and over again without success (i.e., trying the same method over and over until it works) Keep an Open Mind We often look for solutions from our experience when we get stuck with something. That’s, we tend to look for solutions in areas we already know well rather than looking outside our comfort zone for answers that may be more relevant to the problem. If we’re open-minded and willing to think outside the box, we can find better solutions than if we just rely on what we innately know. Don’t Be Afraid to Ask for Help When You’re Stuck or Confused Other people may have the answer or insight you need to move forward with an idea or project that’s stalled on its own without anyone’s fault except your being stuck because that’s how life sometimes works (and if it isn’t working, maybe it’s time for something new). Take Time to Reflect on Your Work You must take time off from work and relax. This gives your brain a chance to think about things other than the task. If you’re working on an important project and struggling with an idea or problem, take a few hours or even days off. When you return to it, you may find that the answer occurred while you were away. How to Know When a Drawing Is Finished In my opinion, a drawing is finished when you’re happy with it. This may sound simple, but it’s not. A drawing can be finished at any point in its creation – from the first line to the last brushstroke. But how do you know when you’re satisfied? You Have to Listen to Your Inner Voice and Trust Yourself That’s hard because so many factors influence how we feel about a piece of work: our mood, fatigue, hunger, or thirst – all of these things can affect our judgment and impair our ability to make objective decisions. The best way for me to judge whether something is finished or not is to look at the work of other artists and compare it to my artwork. If someone else’s work looks better than mine, that’s an indication that my drawing needs more (or less) work.

Meadows Apartments meets rigorous global energy efficiency standard, supports Princeton’s net zero goal Colleges and universities have long been incubators of world-changing ideas and inventions. As more higher education institutions pursue ambitious carbon neutrality goals to mitigate the effects of climate change, they are pushing their ingenuity to new levels. Princeton University has set a goal to reach net zero greenhouse gas emissions by 2046—its 300th anniversary. After partnering to develop two LEED-certified housing communities for graduate students and staff, Princeton and American Campus Communities have upped the ante with the new Meadows Apartments community, which is certified to both LEED Silver and the rigorous Passive House standard for energy efficiency. Meadows, which opened in April 2024, is the first Passive House-certified building for both organizations and one of the largest Passive House projects in the U.S. The Passive House standard takes a holistic approach to design, exploring every possible factor that can reduce energy consumption. Passive House-certified buildings can use up to 90% less energy than a typical structure, which is why Princeton pursued the standard as a strategy for aggressively working toward net zero. Sustainable Innovation in Action Meadows has the capacity to house more than 600 graduate and post-doctoral students in its three-building community, which is located in the West Windsor Meadows Neighborhood (formerly Lake Campus), the University's new campus across Lake Carnegie. The buildings have highly efficient envelopes designed to take advantage of sun, shade and ventilation to “passively” keep residents comfortable and minimize the use of active heating and cooling systems. ACC worked with project architect Mithun to reduce the buildings’ roof and slab areas, which helps prevent heat gain in the summer and heat loss in the winter. All windows are triple-glazed to further prevent this gain and loss. The building envelopes have minimal articulation, or corners and edges, as these types of joints make it more challenging to keep the building airtight. And the buildings were also designed to reduce entry and exit points while still remaining welcoming. “We had to strike the right balance of making Meadows extremely efficient yet highly functional and appealing to residents,” said Addom Gentner, vice president of development at ACC. “Our top priority is always creating a place that supports students’ well-being and quality of life.” An All-Electric Community Meadows is an all-electric community, and the energy it uses for heating and cooling is thermal, sourced from Princeton’s 150 geo-exchange well bores located through the adjacent softball stadium. In addition to meeting the university’s sustainability goals, Meadows was also designed to meet Princeton’s response to the University’s Housing Master Plan for cohesive, vibrant and sustainable housing for its graduate students and staff. Princeton and ACC first partnered together toward this plan in 2010 when Princeton chose ACC to develop the Lakeside Graduate Apartments for grad students and later the Merwick Stanworth community for faculty and staff.. Plans for the Future ACC plans to pursue more energy efficiency certifications of its owned portfolio. We have developed an industry-leading 48 projects that are LEED certified or tracking LEED certification, including 22 projects that are certified LEED Platinum or Gold. We are currently tracking 11 registered LEED projects that are under construction. “We share Princeton’s commitment to dramatically increasing energy efficiency and reducing GHG emissions,” said Jason Wills, ACC senior vice president of corporate responsibility and development. “Working on the Meadows project has inspired us to continue pushing the boundaries of sustainable innovation.” To that end, in 2023 ACC introduced a new green certification policy to ensure our communities incorporate the most innovative ideas from the industry’s preeminent standards. All newly developed and acquired ACC communities must now meet Fitwel standards in their first year of operation. And new developments must pursue LEED, ENERGY STAR and/or Passive House certification.

On the day, so much will be happening that it can be overwhelming for some. Has the flowers arrived ? Has the cake been delivered ? Where are my heels ? Where is the dress.... Oh my god! Where is my ring ? One thing is for certain , you won't have to worry about the photographer, I'll be there . Ring I .jpg Getting Ready II .jpg When I shoot weddings, I like to capture all the moments, even those we don't pay attention to. There is a lot going in center stage but equally as much in the backstage. Everyone is a character, an extra and has a role on this occasion. To my eyes, everything and everyone present is production value. Even when things don't go to plan. In the end you'll even want the bloopers , they are great to have for later . Trust me , everyone loves bloopers. Home V.jpg I also believe a photographer at a wedding shouldn't be taking too much of the attention and should be discrete. It's a special day for the both of you , not his. As a photographer I just should just there to capture the moments and for you to look back one day at all these memories. Home IV.jpg Home IX.jpg As an extra service, I also offer wedding book compilation. Each book will be a bespoke experience and tailored to you . If you wish to see samples of wedding albums simply ask . I offer Video services as well, simply specify what you are after. I use top end equipment and the pictures you will receive will be at a high level of quality and can be printed large format.

What began as a passion for weaving with natural materials has become, for her, a language with which to explore texture and form in familiar landscapes. Gwen has exhibited widely in Tasmania and on the mainland since the New Tasmanian Baskets exhibition at the Crafts Council Gallery in 1985. Her work was included in Response to the Island during the first 10 Days on the Island Festival and the survey exhibition Woven Forms which opened at Object: Australian Centre for Craft and Design. Gwen’s work is represented in the collections of the Tasmanian Museum and Art Gallery in Hobart and the Queen Victoria Museum and Art Gallery in Launceston. Gwen is interested in the ecologies and cultures that inform her understanding of materials and techniques. The process of making stimulates her thinking as do the people she meets through her involvement in community arts and teaching. Her practice is constantly re-informed by the environment in which she lives and works. Gwen is a member of Southern Beaches Regional Arts in Tasmania and is a lead artist in the Tasmanian Regional Arts project Waterlines. Return to speakers listing

Robbie tends to create oil paintings in an illustrative style, depicting unusual scenes such as imagined, futuristic cities. As such, there is a deep sense of narrative running through his art, which could be referred to as a type of fantasy art. Each painting is filled with weird and wonderful characters, and it’s easy to lose yourself in Robbie’s imagined worlds. Robbie Bushe’s Career Robbie first came to art through graphic design, and then went on to study a BA in Painting and Drawing and an MA in painting, both from Edinburgh College of Art. He has since had a prolific career, producing countless figurative paintings that have been shown in exhibitions across the world. In addition to painting, he has also lectured at various UK universities and was President of Visual Arts Scotland between 2013 and 2016. Exhibitions and Awards Robbie’s figurative art has been shown in solo and group exhibitions across the globe, including shows at the Royal Scottish Academy and the Royal Academy in London. Robbie has also won various awards, the most recent of which was the inaugural W Gordon Smith painting prize at the Dovecot Galleries in Edinburgh. Visually Similar Artworks

For digital designers, writing is a skill some believe is more applicable to their work than ever before. Digital design trends, for example, are toward clean lines and sparse words. When less is more, writing makes the ability to put the right words together in the right way – as an instruction manual for a new product or a mission statement for the “About Us” page – integral to creating a desired user experience. A big focus on user experience (UX) design requires digital copywriters to apply a UX filter to all their writing – particularly when it comes to defining the interactive and functional aspects of products. It takes words to connect users to the digital product. It’s the glue between the interface and the information it contains, and the brand that stands behind it. Copy is still instrumental to helping a user understand how to interact with, say, an app. But if the designer can’t write well enough to explain it sufficiently, the final product and the user experience will suffer. When writing is not done well, it’s a distraction. And that’s not the kind of experience anyone wants to be shooting for. One of the manifestations of poorly written digital copy, for example, could be put in the “stating the obvious” category. Think about it: Telling people to “click here” is poor design because it forces the user to go back to the text around the link to figure out where the click will lead, and “clicking” isn’t really relevant to a touch screen environment. Another aspect of poorly written digital content is language that reminds users of the environment they’re in. Telling them “On this screen, you can …” takes their focus away from the experience by reminding them – unnecessarily – of the medium they’re in. Bill Gates’ pronouncement that “content is king” may have been made more than 20 years ago, but it’s never been more relevant than it is today. Designers that hone their writing skills and put content first will be well-positioned for success if they possess a foundation for digital design that can engage the user. Designers who want to boost their writing skills should write more. And just as important is to read. Here are some starting points, both books and essays recommended by designers and design writers: • “Bird by Bird: Some Instructions on Writing and Life” by Anne Lamott. Lamott is a wonderful writer and inspiring teacher who dishes out tons of practical advice in these pages. • “Made to Stick: Why Some Ideas Survive and Others Die” by Chip Heath and Dan Heath. It’s all about storytelling, which is what makes writing and design great. • Any of Amy Krouse Rosenthal’s essays or memoirs. This is the New York Times’ “Modern Love” columnist who died of cancer shortly after writing a dating profile for her husband who would soon be widowed. Her writing was both original and seemingly effortless, and an inspiration for many. Write well, think well. That’s what George Orwell preached. Designers who take those words to heart will come out ahead in the long run. Get program guide YES! Please send me a FREE brochure with course info, pricing and more!

Mr. Baum, 86, died of complications from pneumonia on Tuesday, Oct. 28, in the King Home in Evanston, said his son, Charles. He had lived there for the last couple of years after many years in Hyde Park, his son said. Mr. Baum grew up in Michigan's rugged Upper Peninsula and came to Chicago in the 1940s to study art history at the University of Chicago and pursue his artistic ambitions. Initially focused on painting, he later turned to assemblage art, often using doll parts and other found objects. In his later years he focused on crafting small houses out of old paint-by-number pictures and other pieces. As a curator and exhibition leader, he mounted shows, including 1969's "Don Baum Says: 'Chicago Needs Famous Artists,'" that championed Chicago artists. "Don really believed that Chicago had a vibrant art culture, that there were terrific artists in Chicago and that people should stay here," said Tony Jones, chancellor at the School of the Art Institute of Chicago. "He really wanted things to be good for artists in Chicago." From 1956 to 1972, he was exhibitions director at the Hyde Park Art Center. In the 1960s, a range of young artists including a group called "Hairy Who," a jab at longtime WFMT radio art critic Harry Bouras, exhibited at the Center. Many of these artists later came to be known as Imagists and for a time were said to constitute the "Chicago School" of painting. Combining Surrealism and Pop Art, the artists who exhibited under Mr. Baum's direction included Jim Nutt, Roger Brown, Karl Wirsum, Gladys Nilsson and Ed Paschke. "He had an amazing eye for innovative, new artists that other people hadn't seen," said Chuck Thurow, executive director of the Hyde Park Art Center. "He could put together art so you really saw it differently." Exhibits curated by Mr. Baum offered fresh perspectives on established artists and broke down barriers between schooled and untrained, or so-called outsider artists. Mr. Baum taught at Roosevelt and the School of the Art Institute for many years, so "he really had his ear to the ground" in terms of emerging talent, Thurow said. "He was one of the best promoters of Chicago art that Chicago has seen," said Carl Hammer, whose gallery represents Mr. Baum's art. As an artist, Mr. Baum's work was often overtly political, particularly the works he created during the 1960s, said Lynne Warren, curator of the Museum of Contemporary Art. His last important series, Domus, were the small houses he made out of everything from cutting boards to Chinese-checker sets to paintings of Jesus. "The point was we are what we surround ourselves with, it's a depiction of our human-ness without looking at the human being," said Hammer. Mr. Baum studied hotel management for two years at Michigan State University before transferring to the University of Chicago and immersing himself in art. He also studied at the School of the Art Institute. A charismatic man who loved to cook and entertain, Mr. Baum wore thick, black-framed round glasses, in his later years sported a long gray braid and could go about in a leopard-print shirt without anyone thinking that was unusual. "He was a working artist and when you work with artists, that's the way you have their respect," said Jones. "He was one of them." Mr. Baum and his former wife, Alice, lived in a Frank Lloyd Wright-designed home in Kenwood. They divorced in 1970, and she survives him. He is also survived by a daughter, Maria; two brothers, Jack and Bill; a sister, Lucy; and two grandchildren. Services will be held at a future date.

J. HOFFHINES, the ladies of the New Century Club had an open meeting at which each member was privileged to invite a guest, and all who were on the favored list were present. There was a short program, MRS. J.L. YOUNG having a splendid paper on "Lace Making as an Art," MRS. CHAS. HURST an equally good one on "The Bayeux Tapestry," a trio composed of MESDAMES J.A. CASTER, W.A. BOONE and O.E. HULL, who were accompanied on the piano by MISS ELLA FINLEY, and a solo by MRS. THOMAS TEALE. The principal feature of the meeting was the magnificent art display, the committee in charge of this exhibit, MRS. C.M. KETCHAM and MRS. THOMAS TEALE, having secured a magnificent collection of all kinds of art, including a display of hand painted china, embroidery, needle work and crayon and oil paintings. The display was a large one and the guests spent a good part of the afternoon examining the many beautiful things shown. Special mention should be made of a child's wardrobe of many years ago, the property of MRS. L. VAN WERDEN, who received many of the articles as heirlooms from her great grandmother. Another interesting exhibit was an old German castle made entirely from hair and pasted on a paper in imitation of an oil painting, the property of MRS. J.L. HARVEY. There were over one hundred articles exhibited and the display would have done credit to many large cities. It was something out of the usual line for club meetings, but one which was thoroughly enjoyed by the club members and their guests. Dainty refreshments were served, and the guests all expressed themselves as having spent a most delightful afternoon with the New Century Club.

When Handler began his journey with the series, literary professionals raised their hackles at the grotesquerie that makes the books so whimsical and singular. In particular, they latched onto a scene in which a baby is gagged by the villain, stuffed into a birdcage, and dangled out of a high window. “When A Series of Unfortunate Events was just starting out and I was on tour,” says Handler, “there were quite a few booksellers and librarians who were nervous about my books and sometimes found them objectionable. And the question that was asked the most was, ‘Do you have to put a baby in a cage?’” While on that tour, Handler journeyed to Kansas City for the first time. After arriving at his hotel late at night, he decided to wander out and peek in the window of the children’s bookstore that would be hosting his book event the following day. “I walked over to the bookstore, and it was midnight so the bookstore was closed,” says Handler. “But I could see right through the door that they had made this [paper mâché] baby in a cage just for me. I knew that I was in a special place.” That special bookstore was the revered Reading Reptile, where the birdcaged baby hung for more than a decade. Run by artists Pete Cowdin and Debbie Pettid for over 30 years, the Reading Reptile gained national acclaim and had storefronts in Westport and Brookside. While Handler’s decades-long friendship with Cowdin and Pettid has outlived the store—which closed for good in 2015—there isn’t an end in sight to their hare-brained undertakings. Now, he’s part of the national advisory council for The Rabbit hOle, a non-profit museum focused on children’s literature co-founded by Cowdin and Pettid. It also claims the title of “The World’s First Explor-a-Storium.” Handler (Left) with Cowdin (Middle) and Pettid (Right) at the Pick Your Poison event. // Photo by Travis Young Since 2015, the Rabbit hOle team has been building exhibit prototypes, designing mobile pop-ups, and contributing to the city’s literary programming. They were temporarily housed in the Crossroads Arts District until 2018, when the museum purchased a 165,000 square-foot building in North Kansas City. Currently, the building is under renovation as they’re hard at work constructing the exhibits. While the pandemic set their production timeline back—as it did for many arts organizations struggling to procure funding—they’re looking at possibly opening by early 2023. The final product will feature a litany of exhibits and programming areas: a letterpress print shop, maker-space, resource library and reading room, cafe, history panorama covering 100 years of children’s literature, writing and story labs, gallery spaces, and, of course, a bookstore. Part of Cowdin and Pettid’s motivation for closing the Reading Reptile was to pursue this grander vision. Because why have just a bookstore when you could have a 165,000 square-foot museum with a bookstore inside? “We love the books and art, and weren’t as fond of the business side of it,” says Pettid, of the professional pivot. Cowdin concurs: “Both Deb and I were getting exhausted by the market-driven aspect of bookselling, as opposed to just finding something we could do that departed from that aspect of our lives, and getting more into the joy of reading.” Bookselling fatigue was not their sole motivation for shuttering the Reading Reptile, though. The pair has an unparalleled vision for a destination that will ignite a passion for literature in children while engaging parents and guardians along the way. “We had lots of experience with books and kids and environments and discovery—and we knew we could create something that was beyond what people were imagining to bring kids to become readers,” says Pettid. Claiming “lots of experience” is an understatement for this duo. Cowdin, for example, is awed by his colleague’s expansive working knowledge of kid’s books.

I think a lot of people achieve that through academic processes, by getting a Master’s or a Ph.D. Debbie’s done it just by—” At this point, Pettid cuts in with: “Lying in bed and eating potato chips.” Perhaps potato chips are the secret ingredient for the co-founders of The Rabbit hOle, whom Handler refers to as “titans of children’s literature.” “I mean, only they can do it,” Handler remarks. “It is such an individual vision, even though it is made of many, many other people’s individual visions. It has the freaky individualism that artists produce.” Early in December, The Rabbit hOle welcomed Handler back to Kansas City for a series of decidedly fortunate events. These included Pick Your Poison, an evening of philosophical discussion in honor of his new book, Poison For Breakfast. Published under Lemony Snicket’s name, this pocket-sized volume is a completely true philosophical murder mystery. (For what it’s worth, the library shelves it in the non-fiction section.) The evening itself was punctuated by moments of profound conversation and piano accordion performance, courtesy of Handler. A staff member wheeled a cart around that read, “Is life me? / Is life you? / Is life we?” where guests were invited to submit philosophical questions for the author. Handler playing piano accordian for the crowd. // Photo by Travis Young When asked whether a storyteller should be honest, he provided his most succinct axiom with no hesitation: “No.” For the rest of the night, guests were free to roam the first floor of The Rabbit hOle like children set loose in the Chocolate Room of Willy Wonka & the Chocolate Factory. There were skeletons of slides tunneling through installations, and a giant hamster wheel that, at some point, will embody Little Toot. Folks meandered through the fire station from The Fire Cat—replete with a child-sized fire pole—before mounting a staircase made to look like the lush jungle from My Father’s Dragon. It is as if Harold and his purple crayon have had their way with the space, animating every character within reach. Every last detail inspired wonderment and heady fascination—the scene was made all the more intoxicating thanks to the open bar, as well as the neighboring cereal and milk bar. Slurping on oat milk and Froot Loops, I thumbed through a bookmarked copy of Goodnight Moon that someone had placed on a replica of the bedtime tale’s famous rocking chair. While there are still thousands of feet of empty space, it was not hard to look around and picture the final product. As it is now, the exhibits are sprawling and associative. This will continue to be the driving approach, per Pettid’s curatorial vision. “We wanted to cover [books from] 1900 to 2000,” says Pettid. “We wanted to capture people who had influence on others in the industry. Maybe they didn’t have the most popular book, but maybe they were mentors, or important in other ways. We wanted to make sure that there is a diversity of gender and ethnicity and age and subject matter. It’s kind of putting together a big, giant puzzle, and making sure that everything fits, and moving things around all the time.” Pettid is also quick to clarify, “I’m not saying like, ‘These are the best 50 books of the last century.’ It’s more nuanced than that. But I think it will create lots and lots and lots of layers of discovery and contact points.” A Katy No-Pocket installation at The Rabbit hOle. // Photo by Travis Young These opportunities for discovery are shaping up to be different for each and every book. “We can’t build every exhibit out from cover to cover,” Cowdin explains. “We’re going to be doing it on a temporary basis in the immersive gallery where we’ll put in a full book landscape where you can move through that story. But for each permanent exhibit, we have to find a place in the story that’s going to deliver the most narrative.” Pettid points to their sculpture of Katy Kangaroo No-Pocket from the book Katy No-Pocket that stands over eight feet tall. Armed with her smock full of pockets, Katy greeted guests at the door as they arrived for Pick Your Poison. “You saw Katy [Kangaroo] who’s just, like, a giant kangaroo. I mean, that’s all you need. [The story is about] a kangaroo with no pockets, so she gets a lot of pockets,” says Pettid, shrugging at the deceptive simplicity of the idea. “Sometimes it’s just something like finding a really key moment or key illustration that everybody visualizes when they think of that story.” Some of the exhibits will be immersive walk-through experiences, with text incorporated. Others, like Katy No-Pocket or I Want My Hat Back will focus on stand-alone characters. Some exhibits will even read the story aloud to you, as is the case with the Last Stop on Market Street bus. Last Stop on Market Street is the tale of a grandmother taking the bus with her grandson while answering his barrage of his questions. As of yet, it’s the only 21st-century book represented in the museum. For this installation, the Rabbit hOle team has constructed a vehicle-sized bus into the NKC building, which Pick Your Poison attendees were welcome to board. The ride costs a small bus fare, of course, which was donated to Thelma’s Kitchen. After taking your seat alongside the sculptured characters, the bus began figuratively rolling, as screens installed in the windows played an animation of the story complete with audio narration.

You get to sit in the bathtub with Harry the Dirty Dog and think about that for a minute.” One gets the sense that the Rabbit hOle team is dreaming their wildest dreams while sitting crisscross applesauce on the floor of their 165,000 square foot Explore-a-Storium. As they exercise their understanding of the ways kids interact with story and illustration, they try to look at their museum as if they’re curious children themselves. “We’re providing a new entry point to develop a relationship with story and literature,” says Cowdin. Pettid continues: “If I was a kid and I’d read the book Fire Cat, or I just looked at the book Fire Cat, I want to go into the firehouse. I don’t want to be told that this is Fire Cat’s house, because I know it is already. For a kid who doesn’t know the book, they just go into it and have this discovery of this part of the story, and then they want to know the rest of the story. It’s about developing curiosity so that they come to the book on their own.” By facilitating this process of discovery, The Rabbit hOle is promising to deliver an experience that diverges from that of many other children’s museums. Cowdin and Pettid make it a habit to research and rigorously interrogate children’s museum—and adult museum—trends, especially when it comes to inclusivity and guest experience. What family-engagement tactics seem innovative? What are other children’s museums leaving to be desired? “There are things that are also warning signs for us of complacency in that industry,” Cowdin says. “Debbie’s always said from the beginning, we’re not going to be the museum where you’re banging buttons.” The pair was inspired by the City Museum in St. Louis, as “you cannot go to the City Museum and not participate.” Decor at the Pick Your Poison event hosted by The Rabbit hOle. // Photo by Travis Young Cowdin and Pettid gave themselves the added challenge of making their children’s museum a space that will excite parents and guardians as well. “Reading Across the Nation: A Chartbook (2007)” from the Reach Out and Read National Center in Boston reported that “[f]ewer than half (48%) of young children in the United States are read to daily.” Cowdin says that from the ‘90s to now, this statistic hardly changed—but the Rabbit hOle team wants to see it increase. “[The Rabbit hOle] is very different than going to LEGOLAND, or a lot of just general children’s museums, where a kid goes into a room and starts playing with a Lego, and the parent is over on the side and checks their email,” says Cowdin. “That’s not what this is. This is about people coming into the experience, where there’s an emotional attraction, and a spiritual attraction to the books they know from their childhood. That’s the dynamic we’re trying to create—where it becomes irrepressible, like you can’t not participate in then sitting down and reading the book.” At the same time, they are cognizant of barriers that may prevent adults from reading to the children in their lives. Hence why not all exhibits are focused on reading the text. “There are many parents who don’t have the capacity [to read to their children],” says Pettid. “Whether they’re working two jobs, or maybe English is their second language; or maybe they just don’t read, they don’t have access to books. So part of that is creating a space where, if a parent is unable to read, they’re still going to feel comfortable and safe in our space.” The “spiritual attraction” that Cowdin describes—the realization that you cannot do anything but have an adventure—worked its wonder on the crowd of adults attending Pick Your Poison. When one guest spotted the plaster silhouette of the peddler from Caps For Sale, outlines of his dozens of hats drafted in pencil above his head, their eyes grew wide. They gasped, pointed, and grabbed their companion’s arm to draw them closer. An exhibit based on No, David! at The Rabbit hOle. // Photo by Travis Young Part of the magic of these installations, though not obvious to the naked eye, is that every last component is being made on-site. The Rabbit hOle employs (and is actively hiring) a host of creators for the fabrication shop: upholsterers, painters, digital designers, foam sculptors, metal workers, and more. Their team includes Kansas City Art Institute graduates and even Scribe, a muralist whose work decorates the streets of our city. These efforts are atypical for many children’s museums, which tend to outsource this type of construction labor. For The Rabbit hOle, this approach is necessary, due to the intimate collaborative process they’ve developed with the creators of the yarns they are bringing to life. “That’s one of the big reasons we are creating all of the exhibits on-site—not just because it’s financially feasible, a lot cheaper for us to build exhibits on our own and invest in people—but because we have to be respectful and responsive to a variety of expectations that come with every book,” says Cowdin. Currently, The Rabbit hOle has obtained the rights and permissions to over 70 children’s books, and the processes for making the stories three-dimensional are as individualized as the illustrations that fill their pages. In some cases, the estates of creators give their sign-off easily, asking only to see the final product. In others, the creator wants to be consulted at every step of the production process. The Rabbit hOle team welcomes this collaboration and at times, specifically requests it.

The museum team is at work constructing a city block from the Uptown, which will give museum-goers the opportunity to actually step inside the buildings. Cowdin explains, “We need [the children of Steptoe to provide] their input. They need to become the sort of lead on that because we don’t pretend like we know what that was like or have that same experience.” Pettid agrees: “[We need them] to curate the space.” Due to the team’s sprawling national vision and the broad buy-in they have secured, The Rabbit hOle is set to be a popular tourist destination. At the same time, they are focused on maximizing their educational and community impact through local partnerships. “[We] will only grow in terms of our relationships with other museums because we will be programming with other institutions, whether it’s The Nelson-Atkins Museum, [The National Museum of Toys/Miniatures], Wonderscope, or anywhere,” says Cowdin. “We see a lot of siloing going around Kansas City in the past, as far as institutions sort of holding their own, and we would like to see that through a different lens of collaboration.” These relationships will also help The Rabbit hOle create a museum that prioritizes accessibility for the local community. “To make it accessible, you have to understand, it’s not just about cost or money, it’s about how a family’s going to find out about [The Rabbit hOle], and how a family is going to get there,” says Pettid. “A lot of organizations treat accessibility with field trips, and field trips are one way to get a wider, more diverse audience of students. But the real challenge is: how do you get those families to come?” The outside of a walk-in exhibit of the fire station from The Fire Cat. // Photo by Travis Young Her question is answered, in part, by creative programming that isn’t restrained to arts organizations. For example, weeklong family passes to The Rabbit hOle will be available for check-out at the Kansas City Public Library. Branches will organize Saturday trips to the site for families, with transportation provided by Kansas City Area Transportation Authority. “The focus is about helping kids and families,” Pettid says. “Adults also understand that they have stories, and the value and importance of their story.” As for the kids, it’s about investing in their cultural spaces with sincerity. “Children’s culture is diminished in large part by adult culture, or lives under the shadow as some sort of secondary culture—and it’s not,” Cowdin says. “The work we do with books when we’re selling them, and the work we’re doing now with The Rabbit hOle, acknowledges that this is an art form.” As an adult in the industry, Handler has also experienced this subjugation of children’s culture. “I meet a lot of adult authors who are surprised when I know about literature and what I’ve read because I think they assume I’m in some way a clown you hire for a birthday party,” he says. For Handler, The Rabbit hOle provides a validation that is necessary to a healthy and flourishing imaginative life. “I think [The Rabbit hOle] helps you realize that imaginary space is really important. I think that our imagination gets chased away from children a lot,” says Handler. “You want to look at every building that Curious George has visited, you know? You want to go inside the firehouse, you want to open the stomach of the bear [from I Want My Hat Back]. And that can serve as a reminder of how important your imagination is really important—you’re part of this space that gets devalued a lot by a lot of forces in the culture.” At The Rabbit hOle, “adult culture” will be relegated to the sidelines as parents and guardians are invited into a world where childlike imagination is on full display, and anyone over the height of five feet must stoop to clear the doorways of the exhibits. In this way, Cowdin, Pettid, and the Rabbit hOle team are ringmasters, inviting families and curious personages to step right up for sights unseen and feats beyond your wildest imagination. All the while, a paper mâché baby in a birdcage hangs from the ceiling of a staff-only studio on the second floor—a maidenhead of good fortune for the voyage. Starting this month, The Rabbit hOle will be entering the final phase of building renovations, while continuing to produce the exhibits.

Glitzing its way from British fine art schools into the wardrobes of David Bowie and Bryan Ferry, Glam represented liberation via sartorial escapism and the blurring of gender lines. GLAM! THE PERFORMANCE OF STYLE at Schirn Kunsthalle Frankfurt delves into the era’s pop culture archives – from Roxy Music to the works of Andy Warhol and Richard Hamilton – in a union of art, music and fashion. Having kicked off the show, curator Darren Pih gave Dazed an insight into a world that truly indulged the senses. Dazed Digital: So what defined the glam era? Darren Pih: Glam was lots of things. On the one hand, it was a style that was theatrical, visually excessive and artificial. It exhibits ideas of camp, androgyny and irony, as reflected in the work of Jack Smith, for example, and Steven Arnold, who feature in the exhibition. Of course, at the front face of pop culture it was evident in the work of David Bowie and the New York Dolls. Glam was also sophisticated in the sense that in synthesizes and collages past styles. But glam was more than an aesthetic. It's more like an attitude, a particular way of thinking about visual culture, identity, and personal style. DD: What tied fine art and Glam together? Darren Pih: Well, I think we need to look at the emergence of Roxy Music, for example. The band evolved from a British art school educated milieu. During the 1960s and early 1970s, there was convergence between the realms of fine art, fashion, and music. It was a context that produced people like Antony Price, a graduated from the Royal College of Art in London, who was the image-maker and stylist of Roxy Music. Roxy Music’s leader Bryan Ferry studied fine art under pop artist Richard Hamilton. DD: How did Glam manage to go from the college art scene to global pop phenomenon? Darren Pih: Gender debates were important at this time. During the early 1970s ideas of androgyny and gender ambivalence were pushed into pop culture. But these were also art ideas explored, for example, in work of artists such as Katharina Sieverding and Ulay. I do think, in fact, that glam was meaningful then – and still relevant today – because it revealed how identity and gender could be performed. It was portal for personal transformation. DD: What would you say Glam working in reaction to? Darren Pih: I think […] that Glam was a reaction to the 1960s. The 1960s was a time of utopian, idealism and authenticity. It was the age of the protest song and the counter-culture. In counterpoint, Glam was a period of artifice. The early 1970s was a time of social and political unrest in the UK, and Glam seemed to offer an escape to fantasy. DD: What can we expect from the exhibition? Darren Pih: The exhibition offers a new take on 1970s art through the prism of glam. It brings together works by major artists including Andy Warhol, Richard Hamilton, Sigmar Polke, Nice Style: The World’s First Pose Band, Jack Goldstein, Peter Hujar, Gilbert & George, and many others. This is presented with a rich array of photography, film, vintage posters, magazines and fashion to throw fresh light on a neglected period. Glam!

With so many colorwork patterns available at the moment, choosing the perfect color combinations can seem quite daunting. Of course, you could go with the shades in the given pattern, but this is almost certainly not going to suit every knitter. Therefore, we need to consider such things as favourite colors and colors that suit the recipient, and couple these with colors that work well together. Armed with a basic knowledge in color theory we can make better informed decisions when choosing the right shades of yarn for a project. To begin with, we’ll take a look at color theory and what it means in relation to choosing colors that work well together. Firstly, we’ll explore the color wheel. The color wheel includes primary, secondary and tertiary colors. Primary colours are our basic red, yellow and blue. Secondary colors are achieved by mixing these colors and extending the palette to include orange, green, purple. Tertiary colors are created by further mixing, which gives us yellow-orange, red-orange, yellow-green, blue-green, red-purple, blue-purple. And, of course, these can be lightened or darkened to give varying shades and hues in between. Let’s examine the various themes and look at what can be achieved by using those different themes. Complementary Color Complementary colors are opposite each other on the color wheel. Choose any color from the color wheel and and pair it with it’s opposite. These are colors that show good contrast and bounce off each other. It’s worth mentioning here, that large areas of an all-over pattern, using complementary colors, can be a quite energetic. Changing the hue can help tone down the contrast a little, so it’s also worth experimenting with different hues to find a combination that works for you. Analogous Color Analogous (neighbouring) colors are colors, typically from the same family, that harmonise well together and can consist of three or more colors. Analogous colors can be used to create a gradient effect and, if you’re feeling really adventurous, you could add a pop of color by including a shade from the opposite end of the color wheel! Split Complementary Split complementary colors are a variation on the the complementary color theme, but instead of two colours, you’ll be adding a third. The key to choosing from the split complementary theme is to start by choosing a base color from the color wheel. The other two colors are determined by the two colors adjacent to the base colors complementary (or opposite) color. Like the complementary theme, this combination gives strong visual contrast, but the tension between the colors is eased by the introduction of the third colour. Triadic (triangular) Triadic colors are three colors that are evenly spaced on the color wheel. This combination tends to be quite lively. When using this combination it might be an idea to consider how vibrant you want the garment to be – equal amounts of each color will make for a very lively garment, but this can be subdued simply by using one of the colours as a dominant colour and using the other two as accents. Try experimenting with different hues to find a combination that works for you. Tetradic (rectangular) Colors chosen from the Tetradic scheme consist of a combination of four colors, combining two sets of complementary colors. This theme will give a palette of rich shades and offers a good range of variations. Again, it is well worth experimenting with this scheme in order to find a good balance. A square color scheme is similar to the rectangular color scheme, but instead, the colors are evenly spaced on the color wheel. The effects can be similar to the rectangular theme so, again, experimenting is the key to finding the right balance. Here are some knitted examples of the Complementary, Split Complementary and Analogous schemes mentioned. Split complementary Split complementary Choosing colours for a colorwork project doesn’t have to be a headache. Each of the schemes mentioned offers a myriad of possibilities with endless variations. Many combinations are easily attainable by experimenting with different colors and hues. The more you experiment, the more confidence you’ll have when choosing color combo’s. Play around with the various themes. Explore the many combinations until you find one that works for you. Honestly, whether you want to clash or harmonise, the possibilities are endless.

Produced in an assortment of organic sizes and shapes, these elegant, glowing orbs were inspired by a set of silk-covered Swedish pendant lamps Nelson wanted for his office, but found to be too expensive. Instead, he pioneered a new technique to create them with innovative materials that had never-before been used in the lighting industry. HAY offers Nelson’s Bubble Lamp in numerous distinctive sizes and shapes, so people around the world can enjoy this classic light in the comfort of their own homes. “To me the Bubble Lamp is very inspiring, because what Nelson and his team really did, and understood, was that the job of a designer was about taking advantage of the possibilities of their time. Bubble has always been our lamp! It has always been in our environment at home, hanging over our dining table.” Rolf Hay All Bubble Lamp models are produced in the same American factory that originally developed them in the 1950s. Each model has a steel-wire skeleton on the interior, which is spray coated with the translucent plastic polymer Nelson first encountered in a 1947 photograph of U.S. military ships, resulting in a lamp that is both opaque and transparent as it glows.

Feelings of Structure : Explorations in Affect Hardback Edited by Karen Engle, Yoke-Sum Wong Sweatsuits and the apocalypse, the demands of a sofa, a life recalled through window frames, whale watching through cancer, the serendipity of geographical names ... in Feelings of Structure, these are just some of the spaces and places, memories, and experiences addressed by the authors in writings that are multilevel explorations of the tangled-up nature of feeling and structure. Inspired by Raymond Williams's classic essay "Structures of Feeling" and influenced by the current discussion of affect studies, this collection inverts Williams's influential concept to explore the ephemerality of feeling as working in concert with the grounding forces of materiality and history. Feelings of Structure is a collection of twelve original texts that explores the weight of diverse encounters with a variety of configurations, be they institutional, spatial, historical, or fantastical. Featuring writers from a range of disciplines, this book aims for textual evocation in subject matter and approach, with essays that encompass multiple methodologies, writing styles, and tones. Experimental in nature, Feelings of Structure balances the need for concrete and specific observation with the ephemerality of experience.

Professionals and graduate students in the field of collaborative piano field should definitely consider attending the Weekend Symposium for Collaborative Partnership Studies to be held from June 10-12. I'll be one of the artists giving a workshop, which will be a follow-up to my 2009 presentation looking at the Collaborative Piano Blog and its effort to bring more awareness of the collaborative arts. For those who weren't able to make it out to previous VISI symposium weekends, these are extremely intensive days of looking at the horizons of the collaborative piano world, its practitioners, its promises, what's at stake, and the incredible amount of work that still needs to be done. This is a weekend where you will get to discuss important issues with many of the top professionals in the field with a candor rarely found elsewhere. VISI is also looking for papers to be presented at the symposium. From the VISI website: From Friday through Sunday afternoon, join the VISI community in discussion of the dynamics of creative collaboration - the interaction of scholars with performers, teachers with students, composers and poets with performers, and above all, the magic realm of singer and pianist duos. Following our pilot symposium in 2009 for Collaborative Pianists, a strong lobby from the VISI voice participants has led to this expanded gathering, of interest to all contributors in the Art Song realm. Creative collaboration requires exquisitely balanced skills upon which great performances reply. Hear anecdotes and ideas from experts in diverse fields, share your own experiences, concerns, and insights, and enjoy the surprising directions of a great weekend of conversation and music. Presenters will include Margo Garrett, Christopher Foley (creator of the Collaborative Piano Blog), and many others. Doctoral candidates and Professors are invited to submit proposal abstracts for consideration on the VISI infosite at [email protected]. Papers may occupy a wide range of topics but should have relevance to the central questions of interactive dynamics and protocols, interpretation of Schubert Lieder, current and historical performance practice, business protocols. Presentations should be accessible to professional, students, and the general VISI public and should be no more than 20 minutes in duration. A maximum of 18 papers will be selected for inclusion due to the time constraints of the schedule. Whether you're a known leader in the field or a relative newcomer, this is a prime platform to share your research, knowledge, and expertise. I'm not sure what the deadline is on the call for applications, so I'll update once I get further information. I had a great time at VISI two years ago, and I look forward to seeing so many of you again this June. Update: Rena Sharon informs me that the application deadline will be Sunday, March 20, with notifications being sent out by April 10. 1. It looks awesome, Chris! 2. Val, it's going to be an incredible weekend. I hope you can make it. 3. Anonymous2:03 AM I've been, and it is fantastic! the faculty is great! And Vancouver is such a great city!

Check out Fabricio’s secrets when working, what materials he uses, as well as the comics he has to recommend. Don’t miss it! Pay close attention to his advice and recommendations! The experience of creating a long comic is phenomenal. How did you feel the process of making such a long comic for the first time? Making a comic of that length was born as a kind of challenge to my sensei, Manuel Loza. The first advice he gave me was “don’t make a 200-page comic because you’ll end up getting tired, you’ll end up getting bored and you’ll end up leaving it in the middle”. Wise advice. Half in disbelief, I said “Oh, yeah? Well,” and to prove him wrong, I made a 120-page comic book. It was a very therapeutic process, in the sense that it was also the first comic book I ever made. I drew it whenever I could. If I could draw in my room I drew in my room, if I could draw in the classroom I drew there. Once I was invited to a party and I had to finish a personal Deadline, I went to the event with the page and drew it and finished it there. And so on and so forth. There are pages that I see them and I remember at what time in my life I was and even in what geographic location I did that comic. I must say that, from what the story is, there is a very therapeutic issue in doing a job that takes you two or three years, because in three years, you change a lot as a person. It is very important to have the right tools What working tools do you use to compose your illustrations? For Kaspar, I did everything as analog as possible, because one of the objectives of this comic was precisely to learn how to do it. Before Kaspar I had done very short two- or five-page comics where I didn’t really explore the question of materials and things that you have to keep in mind more in the long run. So, one of the goals of Kaspar was also to work in the most traditional way possible, that is, with a board, pencil sketch and ink. What I changed was the shading, which I did with marker. They are great, but I wouldn’t use them again and I don’t recommend them for such a long work, because they end up wearing out and you can reload it, but it never has the same ease again. At the end of the day you end up struggling a bit with the marker. There are times where I deprived myself, for example, of making very large focuses or directly left them blank, and that gray that I could have done with marker, as it took me too much time, I ended up doing it digitally. In short, drawing and shading in ink and marker. Then, cleaning, polishing and error correction was done with Photoshop and ClipStudioPaint. Finally, the text and dialogue balloons were done entirely in digital. Who are your reference artists? Minaverry, because in a way he does a lot of what I wanted to do. He sees comics as a medium to tell strong and meaningful stories and not so much as magazines to read while you go to the bathroom. Even though this question of comics being for kids is totally out of the question, I think Minaverry does a lot to raise the level of comics in a way. Not because the other more relaxed type of comic is bad at all, but my messages try to point to something a little more “solemn”. Another reference is Manuel Loza, because he was my sensei in everything and he taught me the importance of the social in the production of comics. It’s not only about drawing good comics but also about surrounding yourself with friends who are also creating them, from whom you can ask for help, and they will be the ones who can see what you don’t see in your own work. Manuel taught me to be a good human being, which I think is even more important than being a good artist. And finally, Mariano Taibo, because he has an expression, a line and a very human violence in the stories he does. Which comics have fascinated you? From Minaverry, Dora. I think that, in a few years, we will begin to think of Dora as the great Argentine comic strip of the beginning of the 21st century. From Manuel Loza, Almer. Many separate stories, of the same character, that hook medieval fantasy and politics, in a very beautiful way. And from Mariano Taibo, A tu rojo ruta. A simple story, not very long, and very visceral. It was one of the comics I read and I said “Uh, I want to make comics, I want to transmit what this person transmits.” What is the hardest thing for you to draw? If we understand cost, as what costs me time to do, obviously it’s architecture. For Kaspar I didn’t use tracing or modern techniques that are super valid. Just as a matter of not skipping steps, because Kaspar was also learning to do this in a traditional way, what cost me the most in terms of time, was the architecture. The thing that cost me the most in terms of execution, I think, was facial expressions. Scott McCloud gave me a giant hand in understanding expressions and making the character convey through the face. That’s what I had to emphasize the most, because emotion seemed to me to be the most important thing in the story. And what do you like to draw the most? Uniforms. One of the reasons why I was also interested in Kaspar is the setting. Those suits with the knee-high socks, the wrinkles in the pants, and the jackets with a lot of buttons, which are kind of cut in the middle and go underneath. The faces in general too, as well as the beards. The whole question of illustration from the 1800s. I draw not only to give a message, but because I like it. I like that kind of costumes a lot.

They already had a couple ideas for the sort of thing they were looking for, so we came up with some initial concepts for the logo design which we then refined and designed further to create the final branding. Once the logo had been finalised, we used it to its full advantage by creating a stationery pack which included letterheads, business cards and gift vouchers for the restaurant. The logo was also used to create 3 signs for the front of the restaurant, replacing the existing signage and also to the public was aware of the new brand. The branding was then used to create a responsive, mobile friendly website that showed off the restaurant’s new interior, as well as some of Stephen’s delicious looking dishes.

Yet the true stand-out is rooted within reality and urgency, not the glitz and glam! Showcase With a Difference is the title of the exhibition initiated by Fashion Open Studio. Hosted at The Lab E20, East Village’s new creative hub, the exhibition showcases the work of ten fashion designers focusing on product and purpose. Ranging from different approaches to creating fashion, exploring the process as well as highlighting the all-important sense of purpose that motivates the designers, Showcase with a Difference takes its audience inside the seams of the garment to better understand how clothes are made as well as why these designers are rejecting the industry’s bad habits and toxic culture. The exhibition is art directed by award-winning NOoF talent designer Matthew Needham, who specialises in combining materials, experience, and community to create works that are both educational and conscious, inspiring a symbiotic approach towards living our human lives in parallel with the planet. ‘As you enter The Lab, I wanted to create an ambient space where you take your time to reflect on the way the pieces have been made, their materiality, and to give a moment to reflect on the origin story of each garment. There’s a meditative sound and ‘smellscape’ to allow you to fully immerse yourself into this reflective state. The exhibition is made as sustainably as possible, produced using materials that can be reused or recycled only. The mannequins have been made using scrap wood found in the basement of a house in Peckham’ Showcase With a Difference is on view from 12-27 February. Images by Lily Vetch

September 2022, 20.00 Uhr Saturday 24. September 2022, 20.00 Uhr 908005 epicdermis hires rgb c klaus handner Man is a homo hapticus. The sense of touch and feeling is the first of our senses. Even before we hear, smell and taste, we feel, sense touch. The skin is man's largest organ - and at the same time his sensitive boundary between self and world. Every touch is as much a sign of affection as it is an indication of potential danger. Every touch tells a story about the familiar, about the foreign, spells out a haptic vocabulary, full of longing, in which the self seeks its place in the world. The latest production by dancer and choreographer Maura Morales and composer Michio Woirgardt is a border crossing, a dance about the skin, in an intimate and expressive language of movement. More information: The core of the contemporary dance company Cooperativa Maura Morales consists of the dancer/choreographer Maura Morales and the composer Michio Woirgardt. The company, which has been in existence since 2010, has since realised numerous stage pieces and is one of the most touring (nationally, internationally) independent companies in NRW with a touring volume of around 50 guest performances per year. Numerous invitations to renowned international dance festivals, the winning of numerous dance prizes such as the Kurt Jooss Prize 2013 and the Förderpreis für Darstellende Kunst of the state capital Düsseldorf have contributed to the Cooperativa, which has been in existence since 2010, establishing itself in the international dance scene in a very short time. They have been performing regularly at the Ringlokschuppen Ruhr for many years. The guarantee for the resonance is their unique aesthetic feature: the close correlation of movement and sound, the tangible, visible and audible communication between choreography and music as equal dialogue actors in the performance, as well as the development of their very own movement language that is as intimate as it is expressive.

I did it! We learn so many skills from studying and working in Architecture, come join us talk about proven alternative careers as well as some other ideas you may find useful. Transcription (using Otter.ai) Transcription (Raw Text) Jack Moran 0:08 It’s the 23rd of September 2020. It’s 5pm. I’m your host, jack Moran. Welcome to another episode from the architecture social. I’m joined here as always by my lovely guest even drew. I am I am I am a guest. I feel privileged. I feel privileged. It’s mine today because I’m going to be we’ve got an interesting episode, haven’t we? Unfortunately, not all the gang is here. We’ll Ridgeway as some prior engagements. So he’s busy doing work. It’s completely unacceptable behaviour. How very help very day. Anyway, I think we need to keep the show rolling. So today’s topic, we’re going to be talking about different careers within art. So yeah, quite nice topic you’ve gone with this week, Steven, so why don’t you tell us a bit about your thought process? Okay, so it’s a first of all, it’s a crazy week, and we’re all feeling a little bit loopy. Lou? You know, we had we had Boris Come on last night. Stephen Drew 1:10 And everything’s changing. I can’t really do a good bias impression. Can you though, jack, you do? A little bit slow, isn’t it? Yeah, we’re all a little bit confused right now. And and, and it’s a tough time. It’s a really tough time. It’s a little bit like when I was looking for a job during 2009 on is quite unnatural feeling to bump your head against the wall. Think? Is this for me? Am I having any luck? Or maybe you want to do something else? And also, sometimes when you studying architecture, you might feel like, it’s not for you? Because you’ve been a little bit traumatised. Maybe you had a bad experience at uni, maybe the tutor is like, excuse me, Stephen Drew, do you like I’m not gonna work in that guy? Very, very, very, very unnatural feelings to feel. And what I would say is a few things. Okay. So I actually moved careers have been away from mainstream architecture into architecture, recruitment. So I am, I’ve always been passionate about architecture in a broad subject. And that’s what I want everyone to think about today. There’s obviously a reason why that architecture is a reason why you’re a designer, there’s something about you, which may you do them all nighters, then maybe there’s something about you that doesn’t like certain aspects of them all nighters, completely normal. So there are other avenues, there are other things that you can do an architecture, just because you study architecture, doesn’t mean that you have to do the mainstream routes equally. And this was my little surprise thing that I didn’t put on the title I didn’t want to challenge is because when someone’s thinking about leaving architecture, I want you to really think about, are you leaving architecture or why you’re doing it? Because it’s like, with me, and you track, you are in a fantastically privileged position, because you have me as an amazing boss, and you wouldn’t want to leave for whatever reason, right? Of course, of course, of course. But hypothetically, hypothetically, I’m a bit of a pain or whatever, or sometimes my attention span isn’t that long. Or sometimes I get all loud and hot and bothered and stuff, start, you know, scenarios, which would never happen. That might tarnish your experience of recruitment. And that can happen in architecture is the same thing. And also, you might find that in architecture, sometimes when you do get into industry, you think, this building that I’m working on, I’m working on this, like rundown car park, and then you’re like, I did not study for years to do a car park, right? And I would be like, yeah, you didn’t. But then also you got to think you’re gonna start somewhere and the car park is literally the car park, we drove in, and hey, one day, you could be designing them beautiful offices. So what I want everyone to think about before we go into this, and we’re going to talk about different avenues, you can go within architecture, and then alongside architecture, and then outside architecture, but before you do it, we’re going to go into ASMR. So we’re gonna be going over the topic, like the therapy room, okay. So think about why you did architecture, think about all the years you put into it, think about and get rid of all the distractions, you know, things that the resistance of finding a job because it, it can be tough, but if you do get that job and you get in there, maybe you are passionate about it. Okay, so first thing If you haven’t managed to get an architecture yet, because the climate is tough right now, then you can do it, you need to persevere because what you don’t want to do is brush architecture before you’ve had a chance to work in architecture. And what you should do in the meantime is keep looking for jobs, keep looking for other jobs, which are killing be customer service or anything. Design related. Anything related to architecture. I interviewed today, jack. Okay, call with Chris. Chris is one of the direct Chris Hart is director of squares and partners. He literally started out in his first job, he couldn’t get a job in an architecture practice. And he was on a construction site. And the podcast will go up later in the week. And it was really fun talking to him about him. He literally how the measuring tape on a site and he joined each got there. And they went anyone here. Yeah, I can read out measurements and they went nowhere. With that, you just came off the street? Oh, you think we are, we want you to hold the measuring tape at the zero. And I’ll read out the measuring. And from there. He did that he worked on the construction site for a year, realise he still loved architecture. And then he worked and then he then he went back to study architecture. Okay. When I was studying architecture, I worked in Waitrose, I was, I used to cut the chickens was good experience made me realise I don’t want to work in retail. Okay, so that’s the flip side of this. So there’s a lot of avenues you can go. So the first thing is, if you’re struggling to get in architecture, okay, that’s normal right? Now, sometimes you were, you know, you can have one of your friends who’s talented and they’ve got the job. And you think I’m gonna, I might, maybe, maybe maybe I can’t do it, you can do it persevere. But you There’s nothing wrong with getting the job, which is related to architecture in the short term, while you work in architecture. Jack Moran 7:04 So that’s number one. So numbers, even if I could just jump in on you there as well, that point that you’re going off on, it’s like, so you made the switch to new from, you know, working in industry to going into architectural recruitment. And I always sort of say about Stephen Drew that you can take Stephen out of an architecture practice, but you cannot take the architecture our Stephen Drew, because I will tell you from personal experience, a Steven is a very design oriented person. And you know what I’m talking about Steven? Like, I like Stephen Drew 7:38 that. Yeah, go jack. It’s not good enough. Jack Moran 7:42 I think in even you know, your talk about Chris artists as well, I think and it might be a concern for a lot of you know, graduate architects who say they’ve gone through the process of looking through our previous episodes, and they’ve got their CV or their spec, so they visit practically it’s gone for interviews, but they’re still not having the lock. And like you said they might just get you know, fully put off. But even if they go work into another job, like a waitress, if McDonald’s anywhere, yeah, they put in the hard work of you know, working towards an architecture degree before they have to have something about them, don’t they? They need to be a sort of design oriented person. So they shouldn’t worry because naturally, if they are so interested in architecture, they are going to be drawn back to it at some point, aren’t they? Because that’s why you kind Stephen Drew 8:21 of you can go in and out of there and and yeah, working on a construction site working with people I quite like the aspect of Waitrose, remember, I’ve got fond memories of people screaming at me about biscuits and not being on the shelves and trying to find them. Really customer, it was really, really interesting experience dealing with people. So Brian parallel quote on here, hey, Brian, there you go, you’re on the big screen, problem solving skills of prior many walks of life. And that’s true. So you gotta remember that Accenture is a really tough course. And if you for instance, you ever to one architecture, then I would argue you’ve got some really good like skills, and they can be applied to different things. What I’m getting at though, is before you go off divergent stuff, which is completely normal, I did work in industry for three years, okay? So if you can try to persevere with getting the job in the industry, because I think it’s important in life, to work in places and then develop a perspective. And what I mean by that is that I have an opinion based on my architecture based upon the fact that I worked there. I was in a large architectural practice, I worked in different schemes. And therefore, when someone speaks to me down the pub about what it’s like to speak in architecture, and then I offer an opinion. And you know, I can talk to you about what it’s like to work in retail, and we have a giggle about it now because I cut them chickens and I got in trouble because sometimes I had too many chickens The other day I put them in the bin and are now I was ruining the environment, and all this kind of stuff we giggle about now, but as perspective. So I would really encourage everyone that studied architecture. To try and still apply for that job, and if you’re in an architecture practice is not quite the right fit right now, do persevere a little bit. And then if you feel you got you want to do something else, then do it. Explore the other options. Okay? Jack Moran 10:15 Just something big there, Steve. And on that on that point as well. It’s all about, you know, having bad experiences, within a particular practice, what people shouldn’t do is try and allow that, that one bad experience, you know, shave their whole view on architecture as a whole, if you like, if you may have an argument in our job one day, and I let that say, right, recruitment is not for me, because one incident happened. And I think that a lot of people can fall into that, you know, because yeah, you are, yeah, you know, have a bad day or you’re not treated? Well. It’s not very nice. But yeah, don’t let it define the general, you know, not all of architecture is going to be like that. Stephen Drew 10:47 Exactly. And, and that’s, unfortunately, because the way you think about work, it’s, we’re all human beings. And unfortunately, there is never a perfect job. There’s always strengths and weaknesses with each job. And this aspects, you got to go about it. Okay, if you’re running away from architecture, because you think it’s hard work, let me tell you, or any other career, if you want to go far in a career and you want to work, you have to work hard, you have to you have to go the extra mile. Because Yeah, I put it this way, when I was like, I want to move, do something a bit different than architecture. I did that because I felt I really enjoyed them. But I was never the guy passionate about doing a technical drawing. Okay, that wasn’t me. And I didn’t have the, the certain for us, our architects have. Okay, so, ironically, there’s a few buildings I worked on shackling, me and you were going to go down to, once with I’m going to show you a beautiful tall will take you on to McDonald company out, and then I’ll show you one with the least of them. And I’m proud of that, because I when I worked in industry, I’m proud that I worked on a building and so I have no regrets for that. But it was difficult. And there was a sometimes a few late nights because the project was under pressure. Okay. But I realised that I was not the guy who’s gonna do another project on a I that was my swan song. And I was like, Look, I like speaking to people. I like pitching. I like presenting. I like dealing with complicated problems in a different way. I’m not going to be the guy technical drawing, so I wanted to recruit them. But let me tell you, recruitment is not easy, you know that more than anyone else. And so we’re not going to go into too much about recruitment. But what I’m on about is, it wasn’t like, Oh, yeah, architecture, that’s a site. Now let’s do a really easy job. Because you know what? It’s like you join recruitment. And people go, do you have the ability to pick up the phone and have a conversation? And what I’m saying is, that’s a skill set that not everyone has so and I could do it, not everybody, not everyone can. So where I’m going with this, right. So if you find yourself in architecture, like I was, I had this feeling like I didn’t really want to do my part free. And I remember at the time, I almost felt a little bit like, there was something wrong with me like that on my part one, but part two, within five years, I’ve got two ones, which is really respectable grades in both categories. It wasn’t like I was struggling or anything on paper, but I just felt like I needed something to change. And that’s where I saw our recruitment. So if you kind of are in that position, and you want to explore something, it’s not necessarily the end of the world. There’s a few things you can explore. So I talked a little bit at the start about if you haven’t managed to get a job in architecture, but because of the environment right now you’re struggling to get in there. I do think it’s worth persevering. But feel free to get another job in parallel. Don’t don’t freeze and staying indoors. And, you know, believe yourself every Unknown Speaker 13:59 Stephen Drew 14:01 Yeah, don’t go free aim down the YouTube channel. We’ve all done it. But come back into the light, you know, and and find a job and get out there and try and do something creative. Let’s say you’re in an architectural practice, though, think about working on different projects, different teams, think about, okay, I might not enjoy this project right now, if it’s not particularly enjoyable. But this is going to be a good experience. I was trying to remember what you’re trying to get out of a practice. And we’re think about if you’re passionate about them, for instance, I don’t quite see you as the Revit. Guy, jack, I think you’re a bit more like me. But let’s say now you’re a BIM wizard. Okay, there’s transferable careers there. So you’re enthusiastic about Revit, you might find that you really enjoy writing about Revit research and aviral rabbit training people, okay. There’s a role for that called people coordinators, and BIM managers in an architectural practice, and you can grow into that role. So there’s loads of alternative career As with in architectural practices, okay, where you basically whether the enriched thing comes from that way you get a B have been good been coordinators if you work on architectural projects, and, and why in recruitment that, that I feel I am able to help people better and understand their problems is because I worked in industry, that’s not a golden rule for everyone, you get very good recruiters who, and not from an architectural background. It’s an advantage I have, though, because I do work in the industry. So there is lots of lots of different ways about it. So we’ve got quite a few comments. Yeah, I love Brian, Brian, you’ve been an absolute trooper. And so let’s, can you click these fingers? jack? Are I going to click them to try and click bring him up? I think that’s gonna be you. Okay, so. So we are. So we’re gonna, we’re gonna go through a few different things here. So as you can see, Brian’s mentioned a few suggestions of different roles. Architectural journalists, very true. You got the ag BD for jobs. I absolutely, I’m the wrong person to ask about writing anything, which is longer than a job description. Don’t matter that jack. I’m watching you. Okay. But some people love it. And there’s a few people in the architectural social who are passionate about writing. And I would encourage you like Sana she is the person behind scale, the scale is very much synonymous creation for someone that likes to go out there. And you know, she was featured in Rebbe magazine is really good. And you can go out there you can you can, you can push into these careers, and they come from a place of passion. So if you’re interested in journalism, write something in architecture, right on the occupational social, right on the LinkedIn, get in touch with these companies. There’s companies which do marketing for architecture. So when the project comes out, they write up the they do all the written texts for for the projects. Sounds small, but it’s actually a huge job. Oh, we just got by just saying that you could be a cake designer. I quite like that. Exactly. Being creative. I knows. my hairdresser was an architect. As architecture degree, let me tell you, it’s an expensive haircut. And to write right when you get the architectural degree and diploma, if I’m going to get your haircut, but don’t get me the cut your hair cut, because I’d make a big mess of it. But if you were to get if I was to be a hairdresser, I would definitely build upon all my articular skills because of the amount of really cool, and the amount of really interesting and hard work that you’ve done. Okay. So we got an idea is coming thick and fast, Brian love interior design that that’s an interesting one, because we touched upon it a little bit before then we drag we’re talking about technologists, because you can actually study as an interior designer, that can be your degree, but it goes it goes either way. I’ve seen good interior designers who are very good at architectural components. And you get architects who do a lot of interior design, it could be an interior architect, for instance. So there’s definitely ways to go between that we’ve got more 3d cutter laser with that. Yeah, there you go. And we’re not on about Harry Potter. What we’re on about is cats. Have you ever seen them like you understand it? Well? Well, Unknown Speaker 18:26 Stephen Drew 18:27 you call Well, now, Jack Moran 18:28 there are separation issues. Stephen Drew 18:30 Yeah, well, he will Spanish. And so laser cut and strange little cub, hops, reprographic freebies. So all the 3d modelling 3d printing, so architectural buildings get printed in them, you can learn how to do a lot of CAD, a little workshop all that stuff, right? I was the worst person for that. I used to have these big, fat fingers making models model makings, another career from architecture, okay. And you can if you’re interested in modelmaking, if you’re not like me, and you destroy every finger, but big hands, right? If you’re not like that, then you do enjoy spending little time in crookedly building stuff. Then architectural model making is absolutely never career. Again, it goes back to that theory. Okay. A good if you’re an architect, your specialist specialises in interior design. If you understand architecture, then you’re going to make more informed interior design, it’s going to feed into what you do, if you’re an architectural model maker. Okay? The your background in architecture is going to inform, or you’re going to understand the point of view or an architect, when they’re panicking about getting out the door. You can be like, Okay, I understand that. And you’re going to you’re going to basically do everything you do, it bleeds into it. So all the experience you’ve got bleeds into it, the fact that you study architecture, when you write journalism, you’re going to be passionate about it, and you can make more of an informed decision. Unless you’re like me, and you can’t write anything at all, and therefore, that’s probably not an article that anyone wants to read. Okay, so We got more we got more things coming thick and fast. I can’t keep up with this giant loving it. Jack Moran 20:04 We got to be very active today. Stephen Drew 20:07 We got everything Okay, so we’re gonna go to the top. Okay, right we’re gonna go to the top. So Kara was looking at Lou red is the motivation that 10 years before that is quite cool. If you feel like you’ve lost the way or you’ve had a bad day in the office, period, your motivation letter from 10 years earlier, you kind of find the spark. Yeah, that’s a really good point. You gotta remember, you’re on this journey for something. I always wanted to create something. I always wanted to do that. And yeah, okay. I don’t work in mainstream architecture or practice. I help people in their careers, most importantly, the social, right. I love being involved in that. And more importantly, I love seeing what the guys adore everyone in the community builds. And there’s and it’s really nice. So I get all my architectural juices out of that by doing that kind of thing. So there’s loads and loads of ways about it. Okay, because this one from Brian, when the recession hits, people start running wine bars up until 10 o’clock, Brian, because after that the Coronavirus comes out. But yes, I know people that do businesses so it was one architects who did a gin ba. And it was that one jack, have you heard about it? Where you go into the room and you breathe in the gin in the air? And you get drunk? Because in the opposite? Yeah, there’s a bar. Oh, this would be the kind of thing to look up online. Can I do that? Let me get rid of all my tabs. And then they actually sell gin in there as well. What Jack Moran 21:30 do you just go in there to sniff it? No, it’s Stephen Drew 21:33 in the air. So this like the the alcohol is in the air? See very architectural. So you go in, we have a chat. And the amount I’m talking I’ll be on the floor comatose and you will still be there. Okay. So there’s a lot of things. So we got Brian’s got a few more suggestions. Architectural historians. Jack Moran 21:51 That’s interesting. Yeah. Yeah, exactly. Stephen Drew 21:54 GW they had a librarian was an architect. Okay. I know people and foster partners to the material libraries. Okay. I know people in fosters and partners who are solicitors or lawyers, or whoever specialism in law, but it’s built upon a career in architecture. So they basically make sure that fosters and partners are legally protected and not sued. So breeam assessor, excellent example, Brian, I know you’ve got a fantastic career where you’ve gone into, for instance, sustainability. Sustainability is a massively important thing. And when I was an architectural practice, I had a little bit of exposure to Bre m, and what size is like an assessment platform for how efficient the building is, in terms of sustainable mass? warjack? So So is everything about building it’s like, where the materials coming from? Are they been flowing in? Is it locally sourced material? Are you using renewable energy, renewable water? Jack Moran 22:54 and ethical side about Yeah, Stephen Drew 22:56 and from that, you get a great from it. So you have people which help consult on the building? How to achieve that? Yeah. Okay. So, architectural podcast, not quite a career yet. I still need my job to do it. So yeah, almost there, but not quite. Environmental consultant. Really good point. There’s a few companies that I know that look for people from an architectural background to consult upon daylight. They unlight analysis. So what that means jack is that when a building, they assess the windows, if there’s enough light, so like this year, if this was too small, or there’s a neighbouring building, you’re going to be dark, like in your little matrix world that you’re in now, jack, and now you’ve closed the blinds. But basically, if Imagine if you had no choice and the window was rubbish, then that is not very, very depressing. Yeah, very depressed. So your people who consult in that, Jack Moran 23:52 okay, they do in central London as well done a lot of the buildings, they have to have to meet certain regulations. So they’re not blocking a certain amount of sunlight to Stephen Drew 23:59 Yeah, exactly. And that’s nasty Korea, where you keep you have an architectural background, they’re going to be open to it because you understand buildings. Brian mentions website editing. Okay. Yeah, absolutely. I know, one of my friends who’s got his part one. And then he is a front end designer for a read scripts. So he is actually the matrix he is so he really does all the codes and all the stuff I don’t understand what even mean, the architectural social website I build and Okay, I don’t code it from scratch, I get sometimes I get a bit of templates, and I adjust them and they learn a little bit of code. But that kind of ability comes from me to an architecture and as architect as you know, jack, I can be a little bit keen about presentation in my di company. So I did our own architecture brochure. And I was very adamant about how it should be because I’ve like, I’ve got a degree in the poem. I should know it goes right. Jack Moran 24:53 In love Steven. Stephen Drew 24:56 Yeah, you go a sound is in your sound or a scale as you go. Really good website. Okay, so that a lapse in love your platform. And so actually a little shout out to sauna at scale here when everyone’s checkout to scale because if you’re interested in journalism, Sarno wrote a community book is basically a box, I wouldn’t call it a magazine. And it’s really nice. And I’ve got a copy here, it’s in the other room. I have to get it here sometime we have to showcase it. But basically, that platforms, collaborators. So if you’re interested in journalism, you can get involved and you can do some right. And that can be the kind of thing that will spare on conversations for the future. Wow, I can’t keep up with these all these comments. jakka. Jack Moran 25:44 Why don’t we go to I’m seeing a question here by the architectural experiment, you know, the roles we were talking about? Yeah. So how long? They sound almost senior, don’t they quite expert. Nice role. So what about what, you know, what, what can graduates look at? Is there anything for looking? Who might be in a similar position where they could look at potential roles? You know? Yeah, Stephen Drew 26:03 good question. So you can see how there’s a theme of a lot of these roles that and build out of the architecture experiment, as pointed out, I do think a lot of these require a little bit a little bit of industry experience. Okay, there’s a few that don’t. So there’s a few architectural practice as there’s a few developers construction companies, which will offer schemes to graduates graduates specific schemes, remember, we were speaking to a chap about a month or two, that he was going to go into a graduate scheme, and he was a big construction company, jack, and they were all gonna offer him a year’s worth of work really good. And he was out it was in construction, a lot of it would be to do with infrastructure. Okay. So you do have these graduate schemes, you do have graduate schemes in property, as well. So we work with developers, the developers will have graduate schemes and they’re open to anyone with a degree, you will find that you can even become a stockbroker, if you wanted to based upon your degree, and you will probably find that there is an entry to do it. But like everything else, there’s going to be an interview, and people are going to challenge the heck out of you. I was CRC I was good that didn’t sweat because they were going to do a live recording that attack. People have to challenge you. And and what you got to remember is that when I went for a job as a recruitment consultant, the first thing everyone would say is, why are you giving up arctica? Are you sure you want to give up architecture? And when I interview people to work on recruitment, the first thing I go is, do you really want to work in recruitment? Yes, reveal those stories. You can have a nice life monies, they can be definitely hired and architecture, I will be upfront about that. It is also incredibly hard. And and I remember I was as I’m like, Are you prepared to go to a dinner pie and people will criticise you about when or groups on. And if you’re not go down the road. And, and what what I’m going to say to you guys is that when you study architecture, and you you look into go into a divergent topic, you are going to be tested on it. So you need to really think about these things. There’s absolutely nothing wrong with it. But I went into a head on my said, Look, I done architecture, I really am passionate about the sector. The thing is, I am not the guy who’s gonna get excited about technical detail and I am proud of the Billings I’ve done. I am keen to pursue this, I am keen to go down recruitment, I am passionate about speaking to people, and I believe I’ll be good at it. And more than that, I am ready to do it. I made a decision. I have added my nose in architecture practice at length and good terms, I’m ready to go. So I’m gonna want to do it at your company, or I’ll do it somewhere else. But I’d much rather do it with you. Okay, so it’s like that energy, and persistence. So if you have that, you can look at our careers. But that’s what I’m trying to get to you guys now is that I spent so long deliberate in them. And I really fresh out in my head so that when I went to that interview, when they asked, Why do you want to move? You’re not going because people are going to ask, but let me tell you, the actually the mighty networks, the platform, the platform, the architecture, social is built on the lead developer. He was watching one of his webinars about the about the platform, he was for architecture. So there’s absolutely loads of things you can do. Okay, jack, let’s try and dissect a little bit more of the comments because I’m really they’re running away from me. Jack Moran 29:48 I’ve filled up one that I think’s very interesting is one from Francesco. About the computational designer works. I said, Yeah, I really like this idea. Even we remember before the Hulk Well kicked off, I remember being you have a very specific conversation about how the sort of future in architecture did lie in the sort of, you know, the visual computerise design that you do see. So, whenever architecture practice or you know, facing clients and their inner projecting or whatever buildings look like they will use, you know, the NA, Why, Stephen Drew 30:19 yes, game engines you’re about, right? Yeah. Because like an architect is going to be designing and building and you have the way as tools are moving at a fast pace. So we can now look at BIM in real time, and there’s lots of other stuff and you can actually, there’s loads of careers in that. And so freely game engines, okay, that’s one form of architectural visualisation or representation in life form. Okay, that sounds like a lot of jargon. But what I’m saying is freely game engines, we play a game and what we see live if you’re playing Call of Duty live, again, people move live, live live. And that technology is now applying towards design and architecture. So that enables an architect to make design decisions quicker. So Francesca, when you are about computationally books and coding AI, there’s loads of companies that do that. One or two shout outs with the matter lab, there’s a guy called David Flynn, who used to be bid manager at Grimshaw, he now set up a company, you and he does a lot of scripts, I have a good friend called Tom mahone. I’m going to try and get him on here at some point, Tom, I’m coming for you, I know you’re going to be a guest. And Tom owns a company called by morph. Now, Tom used to work at Foster’s and partners. And I can’t go into specifics of the project because this is life. But he was very, very influential. And he wrote as a part one, in Foster’s and partners, he wrote a script and that script on a project, optimised it and saved hundreds of man hours, which, in terms of what how this was saving the hundreds of hours basically saved the company a lot of money. Okay, that is a true true team effort. If you can save 1000s of hours on output, then that you’ve done a really good job to the architectural practice. So computational design, this definitely you got more and more roles in parametric design. I know. I know, someone that studied with me on Part Two and got a job at bryden wood as a computational designer. So that is another avenue to go down as well as very niche. You have to be really passionate about it. You have to be that guy who’s got a lady who’s been working the midnight oil and wrote scripts and stuff, but it’s equally rewarding. So but what’s his question? Right, let’s go back to Francesca’s question. Consider it optimise multiple aspects of design the answer in terms of how much information Yeah, so basically, what you’re saying is people and we specialise in the process of architecture. Remember, your architectural design then building information like management is a whole nation itself computational design, you know, there’s companies like a kt who do structural work of architecture, and they do all the they help realise all the amazing wibbly wobbly projects, which you would think is completely barmy stuff like Heatherwick and anxiety to help make them stand out. Saw that yes, graphic design that definitely look into that double check though. How much money is involved in all these jobs? If you’re moving over from architecture to graphic design, there’s not much money in it so you got to be really passionate about all the subjects you got another really good topic from design never really good suggestion from sauna. Which 1am I missing? jack? Yeah. Well, Jack Moran 33:42 there is a Brian is coming up who suggestions? When is he Saunders one here as well. Stephen Drew 33:48 So Sam, this is a nice recommendation talking about AI. So Nicholas Darby. I mean, yeah, if you’re interested in this stuff, that may be a good thing before you kind of like knee bolt out of architecture. The first thing that you I would always do is that if you’re interested in BIM, for instance, and you work in architecture, why not start making an effort with the architect or the BIM manager? Who is in the practice? Why not trying to moonlight and then if that person then learn from them, okay, if you’re interested in marketing, in the architectural practice you’re in, why not speak to the architect and a market here, okay. might speak to the head of marketing, say that you’re interested. And slowly, what you might find is that you do a little bit here a little bit there, maybe a little bit in your own time and suddenly your role moves towards it. You’re interested in journalism right now. Okay, if you’re interested in journalism, get involved with Sana scale project, she’s writing content, do a get out there reburied pre and post that. You’ve got to do stuff. You’re going to be out there and go for it. And you can do it in a way that you can do it where you’re doing it lightly. You’re doing little bits before you kind of And you’re no se and then get up 46 and get walked out the door. Okay, so when I was curious about the idea of going to recruitment I research that Yeah. And what I would say is if you’re interested in maybe performing arts or setting up exhibitions so I used to know someone in Manchester who used to do all the sandal lighting for nightclubs and he was made to actually and I did I did all the shows I did outside showing you jack it if you google I think Manchester hospitality second stage 2012 you will see me doing all the light and all that Oh man, I totally need to show it share the screen for this kind of thing. Maybe I’m going to do it so luckily experiment with that how you do it. So see Jack Moran 35:55 why just doing that as well as soon as as well as a pilot one of the questions as well as talking about you know, freelancing. This company architectural experiment nice and sometimes it feels like you know, in order for someone to go into a practice or you know, get go from being a freelancer getting work if they’re starting as a freelancer is it essential for them to have been in a practice first to have gained experience you think you know in architecture per se they’re trying to freelance from the very beginning but they don’t want to go and work in practice they Stephen Drew 36:26 want to do I guess we got we got Inception going on. Sorry, jack. I messed it up. You don’t need to you just fill fill it out. Oh, no. You can see my screen. I’ve got distracted jack. Oh, no, Jack Moran 36:38 I’m messing it. Okay, but this is all very new to Stephen as well. For everyone watching is. Yeah, let Stephen Drew 36:45 me get a hang on. Okay. All right. Hang on. I’ve gotten all right. I’m on the case. There you go. Right. So hospitality 2012 YouTube’s right. I’m really proud of this site. Excuse me, click on it. Yeah. Jack Moran 37:15 When you tell us a bit more about this what you’re looking looking up for it as well. YouTube’s YouTube’s ask not the correct way is that Stephen Drew 37:23 so I just did the so in Manchester, so hospitality do a second stage. Oh, I’m gonna have to find a way around. I like I’ve got the Brian Brianna Britannia hotel. I didn’t do that at all. In that. I’ve kind of gone completely bonkers like love festivals. Anyone been to Manchester? What’s it called? Yeah, I can’t find them. Jack Moran 38:03 Maybe meet up for that. And they know. Stephen Drew 38:06 Oh, yeah, it is. Yeah, this is me. I did all my info this. Yeah. Oh, there we go. So we go. Yeah, I did all this light. And I set up all this stuff here. It was really cool experience. Really, really cool. Jack Moran 38:23 Visual sort of design. The orientation. Stephen Drew 38:25 Yeah, hospitality. I did high contrast high contrast. 12. So I’m getting there. The End guys. Sorry. Yeah, high contrast Manchester. One kind of get with all this is that this year we go right. So do you go back? You’re going to be really impressed with this. Now. Can you hear the sound as well? If I turn it on? You can hear there? Cannot No. Okay, good, because it’s terrible to see all this light and rain. So I did this. And they were on stage. They were on live. And so I got this old cowboy kit that might stay with my to forgive me. And I had to make it all work live. And so I was thrown up there. You had always hospitality kicking off you have me in the background. I had to put the strobes on had to design there. And then I had to get the screens in the background of doing the factory this, and I never been briefed on it. Right. And the thing is, is like, I got that from knowing my two or at the time. And him he got me on board with it. So basically from that, oh, there we go. It was something completely different. So I’ve done that. I mean, I’ll show you a few were the practice of the century. So when I was in architectural practice, I’m really proud that I worked on this. I don’t really do I architecture anymore, but I mean, I worked on that I did that double Mansard right, who’s really really cool experience, and that informs that so when I do act, recruitment now, I feel like I know what I’m talking about. Okay. And so we were talking a little bit About solmaz projects alien sort of scale Unknown Speaker 40:06 to scale. Stephen Drew 40:09 Alright, so sound and she’s got her own blog here. She’s got her own little website. She’s got this whole community as well. And she did this magazine. Okay, I’ve got it in my living room, there you go is on Reavers website. Getting the magazine, right beside that getting the magazine. So this is one of those. So if you want to break into journalism, you got to do stuff like this because if you go into an interview, I guarantee you if you did this or you were involved with this and then you weren’t and then you research. So architecture, marketing companies, okay, I can think of one or two, top of my head. Being media. Okay. Right media, PR communications agency for architecture. Oops, sorry, guys, man are getting all excited on my little quest online. It’s quite cool, though. Drag, isn’t it? We’re now officially YouTubers. And so what I’m on about is that these companies, okay. They write for projects, they write what’s happening, they write about new adventures, they talk about the story. They take the scheme and they instil it into words around if you’ve done something like this, when you going in through you go I’ve done architecture or I’d get involved with this. Or you know, for instance with the occupational architectural experiment. Oh, you go, you got my the thing there as well. Here we go. So I did that I did. There we go. We’ve got this is no, this website, the architectural experiment, right? Nice journalism. I read a really good one, which was linked to the class of 2020 basically simplifies and Well, hopefully here is okay. This is the kind of stuff you need to take to the interview, this is the stuff you need to get out there if you’re going to kind of move careers. So. But then we know that’s what we talked about is that and Sano actually works in architectural practices. Now, they all enrich each other. Okay, your writing is enriched by what you do in architecture. And your architecture enriches your writing then, right and, and your experience in architecture informs your BIM, okay, you experience in architecture and industry, unfortunately, recruitment, my recruitment, then influences my views and architecture, I’ll help people. And so it goes around and around and around. So Brian has seen buildings, he seen things work. And that’s and all these things inform people about the design. So I’m going to turn off the website right now. That was quite fun was and I got there. In the end, I sweating for a bit trying to find like, I can’t find that best of all. Jack Moran 42:54 Though, Steven, it will, you know, when you are looking for other jobs that all these little things, even if you do it as like a side hobby, you know, all this journalism or historical writing whatever it is, it’s going to make you stand out. It’s tough to put on your CV and your LinkedIn, as Simon just said, as well. Yeah, but it’s going to show I think it’s going to show versatility that you’re not just a design person who can draw lines and Angelo. Stephen Drew 43:19 Masha can take just like I did five years, everyone, you work so hard. And what it is, sometimes you have to be brave and white jacket, what jack was trying to say eloquently, is, sometimes the bravest thing is to kind of realise that you want to do something else. And let me tell you, when I moved away from architecture, some people thought I was insane. study that long, you’re not going to be a recruiter. And now, you know, yeah, that was scary at the time, it’s gonna be scary moving to another job, it’s going to be scary, trying to transition over to something else. But if you’re passionate about it, do it. I definitely would encourage it. But also what I want to say to people is architecture is a good career. And I what I would encourage people to do is that I did work in industry for three years before I decided to do something else. Okay? If you kind of definitely fed up now and you don’t want to work in architectural practice, then Okay, I just think it is worth persevering is worth going into an architectural practice so that you can get an opinion you can make an informed decision. Yeah, do you know what I mean? So it’s less likely to Mr. Jack Moran 44:32 Bergin here and get back up and yeah, and this is like a thing. Stephen Drew 44:36 It’s like if you came in through recruitment, you worked on my team for a week and when I like as my you didn’t try, you didn’t try if you weren’t here to and yes, I Chris’s podcast, which I’m gonna, we’re gonna hopefully get out. Near the end of the week, is he when he hires someone, he says, come work with me for you. Let’s see what happens. Sometimes people go on to do different things than that. Fine, but definitely give it a go. Okay, that’s why I would encourage everyone to do here, if you want. Let me rephrase. I think if you’re thinking of exploring alternative careers or diverging careers within architecture, nothing wrong with that. And so that and I’m the person that has done that and is living proof that you can make a healthy career from doing something different after architecture. And the other example that came to my head, jack is that Rockstar gaming, you know, we’ve talked Jack Moran 45:33 waiting for that name to be dropped dead. Yeah, Stephen Drew 45:35 yeah, God, they do they actually hire architects to do free the environments. Jack Moran 45:45 In Scotland. Stephen Drew 45:46 Yeah. Yeah. It’s Jack Moran 45:47 quite interesting, though, isn’t it? Yeah, it’s like everything’s pushing in that direction is now and you know, I’m like, whenever we play any games were rock stars thing and how visually detailed they are. Um, it’s no surprise that they have to have like, almost like a visualizer or designer in in a role for that, when they need someone to be able to put these designs into place. It’s all becoming so massively good. Stephen Drew 46:07 Yeah. And also think about it with GTA I’m harping on about GTA right now. But when you design the cities, it’s like the flower it’s like a good level. Okay. And an architect we’re being you’ve been trained in design, and you’ve got to think about it. It’s like one of these things that with games like GTA or design, or like a film or going into any of that, that when when they’re really impressive is when you don’t know his thumb. And I think that’s it comes from someone that studies architecture, what I’m all about is that the truth is, it’s a really good career to implement. Use, it’s a really good career to have. I’ve learned so much about how I think about business comes from the way I do architecture, everything okay, so it’s really really good I’m just gonna do a few more shout outs because I see what’s happening to Brian says when I was actually students shift this I was into a to a Design Specialist indoor air quality and then follow the her partner Australia where she became an environmental consultant. Brilliant following life’s you know, journeys travelling as well stuff like that. really enriching is everything makes complete sense. Brian, you got another good one here Brian, you really got I think you’re coming out on full force. He’s Jack Moran 47:18 an MVP of today’s episode is MVP Stephen Drew 47:21 MVP. Today’s episode, I wonder Okay, all right, everyone, the bow I left the bow but soon we’re gonna have a soundboard get Jack’s Bay. And I just I just I Jack Moran 47:38 just saw one of the comments come off as well talking about Assassin’s Creed and talk about you know, city design as well as Assassin’s Creed a very historical kind of thing so that we have teams Stephen Drew 47:49 I remember when Paris you know, the old they’re not the damn Cathedral or what have you kind of went around in game designers and architects on boards, okay in collaboration, me and actually, Assassin’s Creed they did such a good job of modelling the city that Assassin’s Creed Creed’s developers gave the city of Paris the model the 3d modeller to use. Yeah, so is this super super cool stuff. All right, I’m just going to look more of these now. freelancing part ones okay. Find out what I mean when you freelancing. freelancing is good experience definitely worth doing i mean i well when I was doing my part one I used to do little drawings and freelance for small conservative reasons stuff and I got a paper out per hour. Be business savvy, though. If you’re going to do work, ask for how much money okay if you’re going to be doing drawings, you should be paid something in some shape or form or you should have some experience and this is a listed charity or something like that where such as what’s the charity I’m always involved in jack because my mind’s got architecture but never society. And then you got article 25, though good salary, they’ve good practices. It’s like everything in life. Just make sure that if you spend time in it, you should be paid in some shape or form. You really should. So nothing wrong with freelancing find out per hour and do a bit of research online asking the architectural social Is this a good right as people right you can ask me I can try to comment obviously involves a lot of context and everything else going on. So what we got I enjoyed this message from Brian he says thanks for doing this is walking his granddaughter Oh, well, thank you right and do concentrate on do show up the next one. And that was that was a lot of fun on that. Match us, Brian, the question about what qualifications look as lighting designer, there’s one or two lighting designers on the architectural, social, there’s actually one individual likely post this CV that for the group so you can have a look, I think there might be specific qualities for lighting design or you might go at you can go into it. I definitely know you can get a master’s in lighting design. Yeah. So okay. Architecture, experiment, collaborating is very important. Exactly. There you have written save. So architectural specimens meet and rescale. And this all the thing is, I think the more and more you’re out there in the community, the more and more you’re making the better. Remember to use all this stuff for the next step. You know, what I want everyone to do is to go forward and keep looking for architectural jobs. And then if you kind of feel like you’ve done it for a while you would like to practice, then look for other stuff. But remember, if you’re going forward, you’re gaining experience, the worst thing you can do right now is to make excuses to yourself, you’re laying yourself down. Okay? You don’t want to why I was being a bit dramatic that jack sorry. One one about is don’t, in your head, go back and forth about Should I shouldn’t I go to it, do get experience through a bit of freelance work in architectural practice, write an article put yourself out there. What I’m going to do over this week, probably a good time to announce this jack, can you do me a drum roll or something? It’s a bit of fun. new, new update, okay, so I’m going to do a content creator group on the occupational social, so it’s going to be a private group within the group for people who want to push ideas in the platform or want to push their ideas and I can help champion you want to write, journal, do it, I’ll help you do it. Let’s see it fail as you grow. If you want to post some content, fantastic. If you want to do events, great. If you want to write a blog about buildings do it. I’m gonna do a little group in the architectural as social called content great as influencers, and anyone that is a mover a shaker or anyone that wants to do some stuff and join me making a report, then let’s get involved and do it. If you want to write out a newsletter, I will help you publish the goddamn thing. We will do it. It’s not going to be as good as song as in scale. And I’m not really trying to look at that. But if you want to do something like that, then fine. I just think it’d be really good for people who are ideas. Okay, I’m on about you want to do a BIM course? Let’s get back on, let’s get out there. You want to do a book club? Right, Tony? On the Arctic crew social, great, I’ll help you build the book club. Okay, I’m going to be the worst person reading that I’ll probably get the page free. I’ll scan the page free time strikes, I can’t read anything else. But I’ll help you build the book club. And so if anyone wants to do any ideas, we will get the content creators. And maybe as well, when I let me rephrase, okay. You don’t need to do architectural social branding content. This is about using the architectural social to do your thing. Okay, that’s what I’m all about. We’re going to move shake we think of the architectural social as we’re kind of like a tribe, a community. We’ve got scatter, we’ve got a scale on board. We’ve got the Arctic Circle experiment. Everyone else on board, let’s get going. Let’s get going forwards. And so as kind of like, like a little bit of a family feel we’ll push forward. content creators, we think jack Good idea. Jack Moran 53:32 I’ve got that sounds like a splendid idea. Stephen Drew 53:36 Oh, that’s very Kuwait quintessentially English, isn’t it? Jack Moran 53:41 I like that I like the content. But it all goes back to the idea of you know, engaging with each other and collaboration, networking. Although right now, you know, we talked about remember a few weeks ago, we spoke about the whole gym analogy with the whole sending CVS out, and now we’re working, Stephen Drew 53:54 are you, then you because you know, you’re really good at it? Yes. Jack Moran 54:00 Although I know, I know, even like networking with people now or collaborating and might not have so much immediate sort of results. Will it buy in the future? You know, yes, we are going through a recession right now. And there’s all COVID burn, it’s all down. But if we are on a down, there has to be an up that follows. And when we are in that art period, all the work and networking and collaboration you’ve done now is going to have a really positive effect, because you’re going to know a lot more people, you’re going to know a lot more of what’s going on in the market, you’re going to be a lot more tooled up when it comes to doing interviews, who’s hiring, where do I want to work? what’s popular at the minute what software is in? Where can I go, this will come from the groundwork that we’re putting in here. So if you look at, you know, like scale, look at the architectural experiment. These are perfect or platforms that highlight the importance of collaborating with each other and the benefit can have Stephen Drew 54:47 Well said, I agree. So I agree with you that say the round of applause for Jacqueline. Now it’s true because what you want about networking and being out there, it informs your perspective. If you might collaborate on something and go, I love that I’m going to write journalism. Right. And I’ll see you make friends and connections and connections, open opportunities. And so we’re a part of what we’re on about, we’ve listed a role, a lot of topics and how they go into it. But guess what, right? It’s going on this construction site, going into an architectural practice me doing the social and meet in Santa meet in every once mean you working together, which has got us all to this point. And if I suddenly stop speaking to people, if I suddenly stopped networking, if we suddenly stopped challenging our own ideas and stop going forward, then I missed might miss out the other opportunities. And so that’s what I really, really feel is that, like, the, that’s why I don’t regret anything I’ve done. And that’s why sometimes, it’s like, my partner just says, My brain never turns off. And it’s kind of true. And sometimes it can be annoying when I’m in for Park and I’m thinking about what I’m going to add to the architectural, social and it’s like, come on, come on. Get a life, right. So but Okay, you’ve got to calm down and for Park. What I’m on about though, is if I if there’s really how easy for me to put these ideas into a vehicle and I feel alive when projects and and when things don’t work out as well. I’ve learned from them. I have experience. And it’s that experience which pushes me forwards, right? It’s people I’ve met right now I can I have an idea. I call sign her up with a nice little chat. I have an idea ring you up jack. And sometimes you like to stay go away. And then my idea number five, which open up a geiko. And it’s networking, networking will get you opportunities. And if you’re looking for alternative careers in architecture, stay, keep building, keep producing content, keep networking, and take opportunities, right back journal. If you study in architecture, and you’re interested in 3d game engines, build a 3d Gaming model that then goes into your portfolio. And then you go and speak to rock star jack, you say I built this. Okay, it’s, you know, part of my university work. I’m really interested in 3d game engines, they’re going to be like, wow, this guy’s Clevedon. And so what are the reason I did the festival? Now I didn’t, I’m proud of what I did. But imagine I wanted to go down in that festival route. The fact is, we were joking about it. And it took me a minute or two to get it up on YouTube because I’m getting old. But I managed to show you something I done, which if you were doing that, then we can have a conversation about it, isn’t it because I went out of my way to do that. And I got paid nothing next to nothing. I was in a muddy field freezing, but I wanted to do it. Okay. And so that’s the thing, you’ve got to keep pushing the work in architecture, you’ve got to you’ve got to do one or two nights, you’re not comfortable wherever and then you learn and you go, Wow, I’ve done that now, not want to do it again. Or you might do another project. And you might And remember, you can sometimes go away from architecture and then go back to it isn’t like a bad breakup where you can’t speak to that person again. You can flirt around with these things. I got a friend that always says I’ll do my part free. And I will be an architect. He always jokes with me sees him He’s like, yes, you will, you will be back. And I’m always like, you are delusional because I enjoy what I do. But look what I do with a social now I get my design kicks our there. And that comes from architecture. So the moral of the story is, I would not be here if it wasn’t for architecture. Let’s get that straight. Okay. My architecture career helps my recruitment. So it’s not wasted time. And the projects I was in Well, some of them were fun. And some of them were frustrating at the time, like life. It helps my opinion now, okay. And I made the decision to move. But I made an informed decision. I researched that. And I didn’t do a crazy moment I looked while I was working in architecture. And that’s the way I would do it. So you’ve had some really nice ideas here. Sorry, guys. I tricked you a little bit by almost seeing like, Yeah, let’s do a few things. But what I wanted to do was catch you here and go, aha, I want you to think about what you’re doing. And ah, I want you to challenge yourself and think about an architect. It builds buildings literally. But I like to think of an architect like the matrix. Remember in that scene, when they like the architects in the room and it’s like I built this Jack Moran 59:46 life and I go with a pen the guy at the end is clear. Maybe Unknown Speaker 59:51 Jack Moran 59:52 screens on and he does nine he says I’m the designer of the meetings. Yeah, when Stephen Drew 59:56 he was and so and so what I mean is, he’s in Architects and in terms of I design, the active social I enjoy it. But then it’s like a real life project it completely changes in some things work some things doesn’t based upon the people in there and it’s fun and sometimes it doesn’t work and sometimes like right people insane my talk about it all the time. Like jack. I don’t talk very much do I? Not Yeah. All right, but okay. point is I get excited about it built upon architecture. So guys have a little Think about it. And now I think we’re gonna leave it there on the hour mark quite soon. So, okay, Francesco says if anyone’s interested in 3d game modelling or easier gaming sketchfab is amazing, free platform. Wow, that is a good shout out there on the screen, paused on the YouTubes. And Frank, you Francesco, Jack Moran 1:00:52 and I have an engagement There you go. Opening? Stephen Drew 1:00:54 Yeah. I’m loving this form. Well, if anyone’s enjoyed it, anyone’s got any suggestions for next week? Let’s do it. I’m, we’re going to start I did a little I did a survey the other week and this, their survey says, survey said that we have enough offensive there’s people enjoy these. Well, I think so. Interactive salary serving. So I’m working on that as we speak. So we will have that in some shape or form. And we will improve the format because I did an interactive salary at years ago, what I’m trying to do is just crack how we can do live data of salaries. So we you know, people submitted salaries, without giving away their details, like their name my companies, I got to be really careful about that. But we will get a live salary. Then jack, the next one in the survey said we want more podcasts. So we’re going to do that. And they were going to jack announcement for you. I mean, you know, you’re there anyways, but you won’t be able to back up now. So I’m telling you live. We’re gonna do the live architecture show, the architecture social show every week. And I think what we’re going to talk about is news updates, forts, bowels, horns. Jack Moran 1:02:12 We’re gonna be talking about what’s hot. What’s not? Stephen Drew 1:02:14 Yeah. Oh, it’s not? I can’t speak anymore. Yeah. And jobs, trends. COVID news app Jack Moran 1:02:21 very much or content on what’s going on? Sort of, you know, Stephen Drew 1:02:25 yeah. I’ll maybe we’ll do the quiz. Maybe we’ll, we’ll get well to do one of his dad jokes. Put everyone’s can imagine. Jack Moran 1:02:33 We don’t want to lose ratings. We will lose ratings. Stephen Drew 1:02:35 Yeah. We’re gonna go through that. And yeah, Jack Moran 1:02:41 exactly the future incident. Stephen Drew 1:02:43 We’re going to do all that. But I want to see everyone after this. If you were thinking of moving about careers, talk about it. Underneath this event, make a little note make a comment. There’s people on the on the architectural social, who are journalists, there’s a few directors and employers on there. Now, two people signed up today jack can’t say the names of the companies but one of them’s nature when under company and the director joint. Jack Moran 1:03:10 So there’s some some big I’m Stephen Drew 1:03:13 just saying it’s a good time to update your CV and put it on guys if I was you. So we’re getting there with the visions actually happening. But all ideas all input comes from conversation that comes from you. So if you want to generate content, you while you’re thinking about being a journalist in the future, get in contact with people who are involved in there. By the architectural experiment like scale, there’s a group called scale on the platform and you will have all the details how to contact Santa join the group do anything but just get involved be out there and just try and tap each other out and get some ideas. So on that note, I think we we sign that and yeah, we’re gonna get a little soundboard we’re gonna get a little jingle jack was gonna be our chin goes you want to do a little jingle nice. Jack Moran 1:04:01 Did it Good idea. Stephen Drew 1:04:06 You can’t use that copyright Nintendo we’re gonna gas Jack Moran 1:04:10 you got a guitar behind you. You can write you can write a song for the live show. Stephen Drew 1:04:13 I can update the strings you’re gonna rumble me live. I am played for age as Jack Moran 1:04:20 I think what will come up we will put our heads together with me and wanna Stephen Drew 1:04:22 Okay, we’re gonna do a jingle we’re gonna do a Jenga. Okay, guys, I’m signing out. Jack Moran 1:04:29 JACK and a guy this way. Thank you. Unknown Speaker 1:04:31 Jack Moran 1:04:32 I thank you for joining us. Yeah, Stephen Drew 1:04:34 thank you everyone. Santa Francesco. The octopus experiments. nilda Kerouac, Brian, and Brian’s grandkids aren’t much. Thank you everyone in the live chat. See you soon. Take away your week guys. Bye bye. Unknown Speaker 1:04:51 Bye bye.

Publish date: Social count: JHPA’s portfolio reflects the firm’s seminal role in the preservation movement and the tenaciousness of its founder. JHPA’s portfolio reflects the firm’s seminal role in the preservation movement and the tenaciousness of its founder. By Gordon Bock For a field so imbued with the past, preservation is very young – barely half a century old – so it’s not easy to find firms dedicated to historic architecture through times when work was scarce and under-appreciated. Among the few who have continued to help define the discipline – indeed even create it – is Jan Hird Pokorny Associates, Inc. of New York. Not only does their project list read like a who’s who of landmark structures, the very history of the firm touches many of the premier buildings, people, and events that contributed to make historic preservation what it is today. The origins of the firm are as colorful as its founder and the career path he helped blaze. Born in what was then called Czechoslovakia, Jan Hird Pokorny was a young man with a military commission by the advent of World War II – in, of all places, the Czech cavalry. “Unfortunately, Jan fell off his horse and was injured,” recounts principal Michael Devonshire, director of conservation, “but luckily, his father, who was a very important electrical engineer, had enough political pull to get Jan a sort of plum job where he commuted to headquarters but lived at home.” Then the Nazis invaded Czechoslovakia in March of 1939. As principal Richard Pieper, director of preservation, continues the saga, “Seeing the future, Jan’s father got him sent to Sweden as an employee – presumably to study the subway system in Stockholm, which then was about four stops long – and thereby out of the country. With the help of a Swedish group who was getting Czechs to the U.S. on student visas, Jan made it to these shores, where he enrolled at Columbia University in New York City.” While studying for a Masters Degree in architecture, on top of his training at the Czech Technical University, Jan took a course in historic architecture taught by no less an authority than Talbot Hamlin, the longtime Columbia professor, Greek Revival scholar and Pulitzer Prize-winning historian. This was in the mid-1940s, and well before the dawn of preservation as it is today. “I think Jan was next to the only student in the course,” says Devonshire. “Under Hamlin, Jan studied and documented several historic buildings in Manhattan and greater New York, such as the Morris Jumel Mansion; later, he would return to actually work on some of those very same buildings.” After starting his own firm in 1947, Pokorny began specializing in the restoration and adaptation of historic structures for reuse in New York, including several significant educational commissions, such as the master plan for Lehman College and the renovations at Lewisohn Hall at Columbia. Then, when James Marston Fitch started the Historic Preservation Program at Columbia in 1965, the first such course of study in the country, Jan Pokorny was a natural as charter member of the faculty. Down to the Sea at Schermerhorn Fast forward to the late 1970s, when several future members of the firm all crossed paths at an auspicious historic site. “When I moved from upstate New York to Manhattan in 1979,” says Pieper, “I heard there was work going on at the South Street Seaport Museum.” As it turned out, the Seaport, now a prime attraction in lower Manhattan, was not as yet hiring. “However, they suggested that I walk over to New York City Maritime Museum, which in the day consisted solely of a ground-floor office on South Street.” The timing was ideal because, even though the Maritime Museum was also still a-borning, the restoration of what is known today as the Schermerhorn Row Block was just getting underway. Once the heart of the teaming East River working waterfront, by the 1970s the block of early 19th-century brick warehouses and counting houses had become only derelict reminders of shipping in the age of sail. After narrowly escaping demolition in 1966, the New York State Office of Parks, Recreation and Historic Preservation singled out the block as the centerpiece of the future South Street Seaport District, and retained JHPA to provide a master plan and design documents for its restoration and adaptive reuse. Since this included stabilization and careful research and reconstruction of missing historic elements, “Jan also needed help – especially on the materials side,” says Devonshire, who had been working with the National Trust for Historic Preservation, “so Pieper and I came in doing whatever we could.” Adds Pieper, “Michael and I pulled a lot of windows, disassembling them and documenting their construction for later work.” Indeed, besides being the largest historic preservation project in New York City up to that time, the Schermerhorn Row Block and related structures were the sites of seminal research – “a living laboratory” as Devonshire puts it – and a growth project for many of today’s premier firms in the field. “It was a turning point for Jan’s office,” says Devonshire, “which had previously done more renovations and adaptations of historic buildings, and set the firm firmly on a course of preservation.” The Schermerhorn Row Block also helped set a pattern for JHPA’s practice – that is, long-term relationships with clients and the ongoing stewardship of their buildings. Though the firm travels internationally, it has worked consistently with New York State Parks since the 1970s, as well as Monmouth County in New Jersey, and has regular clients in the Brooklyn Historical Society stemming from a Historic Structures Report in 1996. A good example of a long-term relationship, and how it grows and changes with the client, is JHPA and the Olana State Historic Site, the 1870s home of the Hudson River School painter Frederick Church. The firm, which has been working at the site for over 18 years, just completed its seventh project, and designed and oversaw the restoration of the main building beginning in 2001. “That was a strict restoration,” notes Pieper, where, in order to conserve as much original fabric as possible, the process began with a hands-on survey of each brick on the polychrome, Moorish-fantasy building, and all of the woodwork, before proceeding with masonry re-pointing and woodwork repairs. An Olana project of almost the opposite ilk, but no less meticulous, was the creation of a new education center at the site. Says, Pieper, “The rules are that they cannot build anything on the site that did not previously exist – no totally new structures – but they can reconstruct structures.” This became the premise for designing and reconstructing a wagon house that was once attached to an existing farm stable but long since razed. “The exterior makes fairly literal reference to the historic, though now demolished, building, but the interior is completely new for the education center.” A similar project with an exterior restoration-interior rehabilitation duality was a cottage once occupied by Frederick Church himself. “We reconstructed a wing on the cottage that had been demolished,” says Pieper, “and rehabilitated the interior to serve as a board meeting room.” Sometimes extended relationships are born of economic, as well as architectural, win-wins, and that is particularly true of the firm and ecclesiastical buildings. “It seems like we work on a lot of churches,” notes Devonshire, “though individual projects often extend over long stretches of time.” Not surprisingly, the reasons why are related. While JHPA often receives referrals through the NYC Landmarks Commission and the city’s preservation network, both Devonshire and Pieper suspect that the firm’s reputation for creative budgeting helps spread the name through the religious community grapevine. “We may do a lot of work on a church or temple,” explains Devonshire, “but it’s divided into $30,000 and $40,000 projects because that’s the most many congregations can afford in one shot.” He adds, “Breaking projects into pieces over time is something other firms don’t always like to do, but we’re comfortable with scheduling in this way.” No doubt the firm’s sensitivity to historic buildings is also part of the reason. A good example is the Church of the Incarnation in New York. Constructed in 1864 from a design by Emlin T. Littel, the church is renowned for containing decorative works by a pantheon of late-19th-century masters, from Tiffany, LaFarge and Morris, to St. Gaudens and Burne-Jones. The church was also FDR’s place of worship when he was in town, so when JHPA was commissioned to design an ADA accessibility ramp, the firm approached it as no small task. Nonetheless, “It was extremely successful, a wonderful design that earned awards from a couple of different groups,” Pieper says, “because it is extremely referential – not an easy thing to do without altering a building.” JHPA also has a long association with another edifice cherished as a kind of artistic holy ground: the Church of the Ascension, also in New York. Designed by Richard Upjohn and completed in 1841, the church was updated in the 1880s by McKim, Mead and White, with interiors by Stanford White and John LaFarge, among others. That is not to say that ecclesiastical projects don’t sometimes benefit from an inspired nudge. As Devonshire recalls, “When Pieper and I kept telling the Rector of a certain church (now a good friend) that he needed to do something with his building’s tower and spire – which is all brownstone, a material notorious for flaking to pieces – he kept putting us off.” It seems the Rector was very skeptical because he’d been through all this before with contractors, spending a lot of money for little results. “Then one day, when his wife was walking under the tower, a small piece of brownstone fell off and whacked her on the head,” says Devonshire. “From then on, we were in.” We Have the Technology Though the firm’s projects and expertise span a wide range of building types and activities, they are all linked by some underlying approaches to the work. “Jan Pokorny was an incredible perfectionist,” explains Devonshire, “and the firm is known in preservation for its ability to tackle unusual technical problems.” In the construction arts, solving technical problems often calls for an understanding of materials, and this too is JHPA’s forte. “We’re at home and in our ‘sandbox’ when materials are involved,” says Devonshire. “There’s not a material with which we don’t want to be involved.” If you take the sandbox metaphor to its limit, then a project like the New Jersey State House dome must have been like the proverbial candy store. Originally constructed in 1792, the State House acquired an 80-ft.-high cast-iron and steel rotunda and dome in the 1880s following a massive fire. After more than a century of service, however, the exterior gilding was failing, so JHPA was commissioned to look at the condition of the entire dome. “The list of materials we had to deal with at the State House is long,” says Devonshire, “wood, stone, cast iron, steel, concrete, copper, gold leaf, stained glass, and more.” Ultimately, the firm’s investigation revealed major deterioration of the structural steel supports for the dome, as well as the cast iron in the rotunda, leading to construction documents for their repair. In the same league material-wise is the Battery Maritime Building. Built in 1909 as a gateway to lower Manhattan via ferries and elevated railways, it was designed in the Beaux-Arts style and is a veritable confection of early modern materials, from copper and stucco to the glazed-tile ceilings of the illustrious Guastavino vault system. Once the twin of the nearby Whitehall Terminal (lost to fire in 1991) the BMB smiles on New York harbor with an unmistakable façade of over 8,000 cast-iron and rolled-steel elements anchored by countless unabashed rivets. JHPA was initially called in to survey the exterior and structural conditions of the BMB but, after finding severe deterioration and loss of architectural features from a 1957 alteration, wound up directing a full restoration of the building envelope and roof. “On many projects, you can visualize the ideal scope of work in about 40 minutes,” says Pieper, “but when you step back and take into account reality – budgets, schedules, logistics – that scope tends to change a lot.” Such was the case at the BMB when it became evident that, in order to perform the necessary structural reconstruction, they would have to remove, and then reassemble, the building’s complex outer skin. “The challenge was actually two-fold,” according to Pieper. “First, client education – that is, explaining the need for the extra step of removing the outer skin; then second, doing the work.” With their deep roots and experience in New York City and the Hudson River Valley, it’s easy to assume that JHPA is a team of regional and historical specialists, but that is far from the case. Indeed Jan Pokorny, who was a pivotal member of the NYC Landmarks Preservation Commission, and chairman from 1997 to 2007 (shortly before his death at 93), was equally well-versed with historic architecture abroad. “We’re not pigeon-holed into any one building type or era,” says Devonshire, who has worked on the restoration of Manitoga, the home and studio of the famous Modernist furnishings designer and producer Russell Wright. The firm has been hired by the Maria Mitchell Foundation in Nantucket to survey buildings dating from the 1770s to the 1930s, and periodically they get called by the World Monuments Fund to inspect and advise on foreign structures. In fact, the Fund invited JHPA to help analyze and study Lednice and Valtice Castles in southern Moravia in the Czech Republic, which led the castles to be selected as a World Heritage Site. Jan Pokorny would, no doubt, approve. Gordon Bock, author, consultant, and historian, lists his new lectures, appearances, and books at www.gordonbock.com.

The latest step was taken two months ago by the Metropolitan Pier and Exposition Authority, which owns and operates McCormick Place, by awarding a $675 million contract to a Chicago firm, Stein & Company, to design and construct the new hall. The contract is part of a $987 million expansion and renovation package financed by a 30-year bond issued by Illinois. The bond is to be repaid by new taxes on hotels, rental cars and some bus and taxi fares. Ground-breaking is scheduled for 1993. Completion is expected in 1996. At present, McCormick Place has 1.6 million square feet in three buildings on the east and west sides of Lake Shore Drive just south of downtown Chicago. The two primary buildings were designed as exposition halls and, taken together, total 1.2 million square feet. A third building, a converted printing plant, will be razed after the expansion. With the elimination of the structure and the completion of the new one, McCormick Place will have 2.1 million square feet for exhibitions and meetings, or 75 percent more than at present. The new hall will be a single-story structure of 875,000 useable square feet in a structure of two million gross square feet, designed only schematically at this point. The square footage is about what one may expect to find in a 40-story building here. The one-floor layout is expected to appeal to trade show organizers who prize large open floors that allow the continuous layout of exhibitions. A gallery will connect the new building with two existing halls. When the new building is linked to an adjacent exhibition hall through the gallery, it will be possible to have an exhibit in 1.3 million square feet of contiguous space. The architects for the new building are the Atlanta firm of Thompson, Ventulett, Stainback & Associates, which designed the Georgia World Congress Center in Atlanta and the Miami Beach Convention Center. The Metropolitan Pier and Exposition Authority has budgeted $177 million to acquire the site and upgrade the infrastructure for the new building. The 650-room McCormick Center Hotel, a 24-story building constructed in the early 1970's, will be taken down. Although no offer has been made for the hotel, the authority has condemnation powers that leave little doubt of the hotel's fate. McCormick Center is owned and operated by Eugene P. Heytow, the chairman of the Amalgamated Trust and Savings Bank here, in partnership with his brother-in-law, Dr. Martin Gecht, also of Chicago. The first McCormick Place hall was erected on the shore of Lake Michigan just south of the downtown Loop in 1960. When the building was destroyed by fire in 1967, it was replaced on the same site by a new and larger building of more than 700,000 square feet. In 1976, the publisher R. R. Donnelley & Sons donated a building that had been used to print Life magazine at McCormick Place, adding nearly 400,000 square feet. It will be razed. For years, McCormick Place dominated the trade-show market. But increased competition from newer convention complexes in other cities jarred Chicago's position. In response, the city added a building in 1986 that nearly doubled McCormick Place's size. Now, with expansions projected for Atlanta and several other convention centers around the country, Chicago is building again to stay ahead. Officials have reason to be concerned. According to Tradeshow 200, an industry magazine, New York attracts 31 of the top 200 shows, despite the smaller size of its convention center. Atlanta, Chicago and Las Vegas, Nev., capture 23 each, it said. Numbers compiled last month by the Chicago Convention and Tourism Bureau showed that the number of conventions and trade shows held in Chicago declined from 1989 to 1990. There were 1,113 conventions here in 1989 and 1,102 in 1990. The number of trade shows dropped to 136 in 1990 from 145 in 1989. Since 1989, the authority has spent about $5 million on a marketing report by KPMG Peat Marwick, the accounting firm, and a detailed planning study by the architectural firm Skidmore, Owings & Merrill in Chicago. The report recommended that McCormick Place be expanded, including a new hall and domed stadium. Without the expansion and renovation, the report predicted a 15 percent loss of business to other centers. An initial $1.4 billion plan proposed in 1990 included a domed stadium with the exhibition hall. It failed to win political backing and was never voted on by the Legislature. Of the $987 million approved for the McCormick Place program, $675 million will go to constructing the new hall and $177 million to site acquisition and infrastructure. Another $75 million will be spent renovating existing buildings. The remaining $60 million will be used to reroute traffic on Lake Shore Drive, which runs through McCormick Place.

Click here. Partly because of my own explorations of my Viking ancestry (and partly because of my own dadaistic tendencies to want to leave random objects in strange places for people to find) one of the things that I have created (and spread around) are objects that I refer to as “rune bombs.” Utilizing only positive runes in positive combinations, these good luck charms, healing totems and protection glyphs tend to inspire a powerful sense of mystery, interest and wonder in those who find them. Introduction to runes: Runes classically used in the creation of magical objects are, in essence, the glyphic symbols of an ancient Germanic alphabet. In the past, they have been used throughout northern Europe, Scandinavia, the British Isles, and Iceland, where they persisted as an alphabet for almost two thousand years. The Germanic tribes who used them left them pretty much everywhere they went (even North America!) and even today they find use in a number of neo-pagan traditions throughout the world. Objects inscribed with runes, especially those arranged into patterns, sentences or other formations that one’s own heart believes are powerful, are said to be enchanted with certain blessings or abilities. With runes inscribed through pyrography, one can create shamanistic tools for healing, strength, courage, and communication with the dead. Remember– some runes have more negative connotations, and all runes purposefully placed upside down have the opposite effects and meanings as they would right side up. Place your runes carefully! Creating Rune Bombs: First, make sure that you have read the original Basics of Pyrography hub and remember to work safely! Secondly, you need a canvas on which to inscribe the runes of your “bomb.” As a pyrographer, I’ve achieved the best results with softer woods (like cedar) but I have also created rune bombs on everything from one hundred year old oak to bits of fiberboard. One of the best sources I have found for wood to use in the creation of rune bombs is thrift stores and places where you can buy bits of rejected wood (like Home Depot.) Also, if you are cutting a fence for your yard (or know someone who is) save the ends of your fence-boards! As long as they aren’t treated with creosote (or other harmful chemicals) they can be used to create awesome, simple and inexpensive rune bombs without having to go out and invest in anything more than a wood burning tool or soldering iron. Once you have your basic blank wooden bits that will serve as the canvases for your rune bombs, you can begin to cut your runes into them. For best results, I recommend designing your rune bombs first by drawing them onto the wood with a pencil before you burn them so that you have a clear idea of what you are going to do before you do it (and possibly change your mind!) Long, hard and careful strokes are the best when cutting your runes, and watch your fingers! If you are gripping the pieces of wood you are using for the creation of your rune bombs at the edges (like a coin) while you work, it can be easy to slip and burn yourself. Try to cut each line carefully away from yourself as you work, and remember that it is usually best not to press your tool into the wood so hard that you burn a line all the way through to the other side. This can effect the stability of the wood and, for some runes, make them difficult or impossible to read (which, in a sense, ultimately defeats the purpose of the rune bomb.) Once you have created however many rune bombs you plan to distribute (or even keep for yourself) you can give them to friends, leave them for people to find, photograph them, or do anything else with them! Remember to have a heart and stick with positive messages. Regardless of whether or not you believe runes have any magical power to them, the world has enough negativity in it as it is without people placing runic curses and whatnot around. Feel free to link in the comments to rune bombs that you’ve created and/or the places that you have left them!

Sambuichi has lived in Hiroshima since he was a little boy, and hence this is where all his childhood memories are from: “Originally Hiroshima was just like Miyajima, a place with an affluent culture. And the wind, water and sun were moving very beautifully in this town.” When the United States dropped nuclear weapons on the Japanese cities of Hiroshima and Nagasaki during World War II, it was commonly believed that “no plants and trees would grow for 70 years. But trees and plants started to grow immediately.” According to Sambuichi, the reason for this can be found in the way nature works in the 10 km2 area of Hiroshima, which has seven rivers flowing into the Seto Inland Sea, and where clean water and clean air recirculates: “The water changes twice and the air once. And as long as the sun rises and the moon moves, this will repeat itself regularly. Because of that, everything rapidly became green again. And a beautiful city was restored.” “The real beauty of this place is that you have a city which becomes one with the air and the sea.” Sambuichi considers Hiroshima a very green city and wants visitors to feel that: “When a city really becomes one with the air, water and sun I am sure that people will feel the vitality of this. To create cities where this is not lost is a very important message I want to convey to the worldat Møstings Hus in connection with his installation ‘The Water’ at the Cisterns in Copenhagen, Denmark in March 2017.

This event includes the Newark premiere of the States of Incarceration exhibit in addition to three other components that examine the impact of immigrant detention in the Newark region.” Dr. Mary Rizzo and graduate student Dahlia Azran, working with First Friends, curated a collection of art created by detainees while in detention in North Jersey. Many of these pieces are composed of non-traditional materials such as candy wrappers, toilet paper, food-based ink, and other scraps of utilitarian objects. In many cases, discarded paraphernalia were some of the only materials available to detainees to use in creative endeavors. This portion of the exhibition demonstrates how detainees use art to resist the dehumanization of imprisonment, seek refuge and find solace, and express gratitude to the listeners who hear their stories. Newest Americans produced eight photographic portraits by founding partner Ed Kashi of people who were detained between 1996 and the present, and conducted interviews with the subjects about their experience in detention and their lives since they were released. Kashi’s life-size portraits feature former detainees who firmly stand their ground even while their physical settings seem to be receding them, as though they are there and not there, at home and adrift, uncertain of their place in America. These portraits are accompanied by recorded accounts from the detainees, who phone visitors back when texted via cellphone. Finally, another collection of artwork, curated by Project for Empty Space’s Jasmine Wahi and Rebecca Pauline Jampol, is comprised of pieces by four artists: Lizania Cruz, Samer Fouad, Jon Gomez, and Ann J. Lewis (GILF). Each artists links the precariousness of people with an undocumented status in the United States to the larger threat of the carceral state.

Hey there. I just wanted to share this card I had made last month. My 11 year old son was attending a street hockey birthday party for his friend- who happens to be a Pittsburg Penguins fan. I stamped the penguin with Black Memento Ink and then colored it with Copic Markers, I then embossed the whole penquin with clear embossing powder. I used grey memento ink and clear embossing powder on the NHL logo. I ran the two of the layers of cardstock through the big shot machine with a circles embossing folder and gave them a thin matting. Added a bit of hemp twine and 3 mini black brads, did a little bit of popping up with dimentionals and there you have it. A Pittsburg Penguins Card through and through. The NHL Logo set id from Gel-a-Tins. The sentiment stamp set is from SU, as well as the cardstock used.

Ideas. Nature. Creativity. These themes are infused into every single detail that goes into the PINC experience, from the speakers to the intermezzos to the traditions...even the food. It’s this unique intermingling of subject matter that turns PINC into an unforgettable experience. As such, there are lots of moving parts to the day. Although the basic model of PINC is pretty standard (well, as standard as PINC can be) year to year, the audience never truly knows what to expect. It’s this delicate balancing act between keeping PINC fresh and keeping PINC...PINC. So, how do we do it? We do it with a little help from our friends at Ringling College of Art and Design. Ringling is our Sarasota conference’s Presenting Partner, which means it helps us make the conference a reality in our community, including access to a whole lot of artistic genius from the incredibly talented students at Ringling College’s Design Center. The Design Center manages the development and design of a variety of print and web-based marketing, recruiting and fundraising materials, from conceptualization to delivery both on-campus and off. It is designed to help students build a practical understanding and knowledge of print, interactive, multimedia design, technology and professionalism. Each year we’re paired up with a new set of students from the Design Center -- one graphic designer and one motion designer. We collaborate with the graphic design student to create the overarching look and feel for the conference, and the motion designer takes it from there to create an animation from the design, which is used at the beginning of each track the day of PINC. Our graphic design partner for PINC.Sarasota 2016 was illustrator Chris Rees, pictured below with motion designer Katrina Stapleton. We don’t like to constrain the artist to too many rules or guidelines, as we feel the best work comes from creative freedom and a genuine feeling of project ownership. That may be a bit scary to some, especially since students are often used to prompts and restrictions. Not this guy. One look at the cubebots, and Chris ran with it. What’s a cubebot, you ask? This is a cubebot (well, two actually): Each year, the audience takes a little bit of PINC with them, not only in the form of inspiration, memories and photos, but also in the form of a gift. A token of our appreciation. A charm that binds the PINC family together. For anyone who attended PINC.Sarasota 2016, that gift was a cubebot, an adorable little robot that folds into a cube. A living Rubik’s Cube. The ultimate desk buddy. The cubebot took on a life of its own in Chris’ designs, with a different cubebot character for each speaker. The mix of illustrations helped to tell the story of the day. From program booklets to nametags to t-shirts and posters, Chris brought his artistic vision to life and left a lasting impression on the entire experience. We had the pleasure of catching up with Chris recently. Here’s what he had to say... PINC: What was your favorite part of working on PINC.Sarasota 2016? Chris: My favorite part of being able to work on PINC was the trust in creativity from PINC. Working together and developing ideas to see what all would work best in each piece, and then to see it go into actual production for the conference was a great experience. PINC: What was the most challenging part of working on PINC.Sarasota 2016? Chris: The most challenging part of PINC was creating a style that would work with such a diverse group of individuals. Trying to find that look that could represent and let each piece shine individually while also working together as a whole. PINC: When did you start illustrating? Where do you draw your inspiration from? Chris: I've been drawing/doodling for as long as I can remember. As a kid I would always be coloring or drawing. I still work with charcoal on my free time for drawings. My inspiration comes from many things randomly. It could be a drawing, photographs, something three-dimensional, even other types of creativity in the arts, like music. Something sparks, the feeling of wanting to draw or doodle rushes over me, and I begin. PINC: What's your favorite project you've worked on to date? Chris: PINC was actually one of my favorite projects to work on. It was the first project of mine to be put into production. To see this event with everyone wearing my designs and holding the boxes with my doodles on it was amazing to see. It was also the first project I was able to collaborate with a motion designer, Katrina, and see the drawings come to life in her animation. Working on PINC was an unforgettable experience. PINC: So, you work at Disney! What's your favorite part about that? Chris: I do work at Disney. It will be my two-year anniversary this month. I love the diversity and creativity that is everywhere. Themed entertainment design is amazing and has been a privilege to work in as a Photopass Photographer. Each day is filled with new guests to create magic for and memories they will never forget from their visit. There are also many opportunities that Disney offers once within the company. PINC: What are you up to now? Chris: Right now I am focusing on preparing myself for graduation. I am currently a Universal Creative Intern as a Graphic Design Intern. I am hoping to work with Disney or Universal in design following the end of this internship. We are fortunate to have the support of Ringling College of Art and Design and look forward to future collaborations. Stay tuned as PINC.Sarasota 2017 takes shape! Let’s be friends We’ll deliver heartfelt goodness to your inbox (and we promise we’ll never spam you).

In some cases foliage is considered an architectural statement, while in others it seems to devour the very building it surrounds. Marc Alcock is a British photographer who has lived and worked in California since 2010. With a background in design and art direction, he says he “tends to be drawn to the unique form, colour and texture of environments and how they hint at stories beyond the frame.” His latest project, California Topiaries, documents homes in San Francisco, Los Angeles and the surrounding suburbs where certain buildings have a unique relationship with plants and nature. “Every house on the street has it’s own unique personality,” he says. “The paint colour, the architectural features and nature all working together to form something completely personal to the owner.” “At one end of the scale I found lovingly crafted topiaries, that were thoughtfully paired with architectural details – a conscious aesthetic decision,” he says. “At the other end there are buildings swallowed by nature. The plants functioning as camouflage for the home. “I’m sure the people that inhabit the homes are just as interesting and idiosyncratic,” he adds. “But the details in the images only offer clues as to who may live there.” The full series can be seen at Alcock’s website, marcalcock.com More from CR Lecturer Design Management Kingston University Graphic Designer Design Assistant Cultureshock Media

She is the author of seventeen books, fiction and nonfiction, including The Artist’s Way, The Vein of Gold and The Right to Write, her bestselling works on the creative process. A novelist, playwright, songwriter, and poet, she has multiple credits in theater, film, and television. She divides her time between Manhattan and the high desert of New Mexico. ART IS A SPIRITUAL transaction. Artists are visionaries. We routinely practice a form of faith, seeing clearly and moving toward a creative goal that shimmers in the distance—often visible to us, but invisible to those around us. Difficult as it is to remember, it is our work that creates the market, not the market that creates our work. Art is an act of faith, and we practice practicing it. Sometimes we are called on pilgrimages on its behalf and, like many pilgrims, we doubt the call even as we answer it. But answer we do. I am writing on a black lacquer Chinese desk that looks west across the Hudson River to America. I am on the far western shore of Manhattan, which is a country unto itself, and the one I am living in right now, working to cantilever musicals from page to stage. Manhattan is where the singers are. Not to mention Broadway. I am here because “art” brought me here. Obedient, I came. Per capita, Manhattan may have a higher density of artists than anywhere else in America. In my Upper West Side neighborhood, cellos are as frequent and as ungainly as cows in Iowa. They are part of the landscape here. Writing at a typewriter, looking out across the lights, I too am something Manhattan knows very well. I write melody on a piano ten blocks from where Richard Rodgers, a gangly adolescent, climbed a short stoop to meet a short boy who became his longtime partner, Larry Hart. Together they dreamed through drought and flood. My apartment is on Riverside Drive. At this narrow end of the island, Broadway is a scant block behind my back as I face west across the river, inky black now as the sun sets in colored ribbons above it. It is a wide river, not only dark, and on a windy day—and there are many—the water is choppy and white-capped. Cherry-red tugboats, as determined as beetles, push their prows into the waves, digging their way up and down the river, pushing long barges with their snouts. Manhattan is a seaport—and a landing for dreams. Manhattan teems with dreamers. All artists dream, and we arrive here carrying those dreams. Not all of us are dressed in black, still smoking cigarettes and drinking hard liquor, still living out the tawdry romance of hard knocks in tiny walk-up flats filled with hope and roaches in neighborhoods so bad that the rats have moved on. No, just like the roaches, the artists are everywhere here, tenements to penthouses—my own building has not only me with my piano and typewriter but also an opera singer who trills in the inner canyons like a lark ascending. The neighborhood waiters are often—not always—actors, and the particularly pretty duck-footed neighborhood girls do dance, although you wouldn’t imagine their grace from their web-footed walks. I drank a cup of tea at Edgar’s Cafe this afternoon, the cafe named for Edgar Allan Poe, who lived down here and died farther uptown, all the way in the Bronx. I’ve looked up into Leonard Bernstein’s ground-floor windows at the Dakota, and gone a little numb each time I pass the arched entryway where John Lennon was shot. In this apartment, I am a scant block from Duke Ellington’s haunts, and there’s a street named after him too. Manhattan is a town full of ghosts. Creative power—and powers—course through its vertical canyons. It was in Manhattan that I first began teaching the Artist’s Way. Like all artists—like all of us if we listen—I experience inspiration. I was “called” to teach and I answered that call somewhat grudgingly. What about my art? I wondered. I had not yet learned that we do tend to practice what we preach, that in unblocking others I would unblock myself, and that, like all artists, I would thrive more easily with some companionship, with kindred souls making kindred leaps of faith. Called to teach, I could not imagine the good teaching would bring to me and, through me, to others. In 1978 I began teaching artists how to “unblock” and “get back on their feet” after a creative injury. I shared with them the tools I had learned through my own creative practice. I kept it all as easy and gentle as I could. “Remember, there is a creative energy that wants to express itself through you”; “Don’t judge the work or yourself. You can sort it out later”; “Let God work through you,” I told them. My tools were simple and my students were few. Both tools and number of students grew steadily and hugely for the next ten years. At the beginning and, for the most part, always, my students were chiefly blocked or injured artists —painters, poets, potters, writers, filmmakers, actors, and those who simply wished to be anything more creative in their personal lives or in any of the arts. I kept things simple because they really were. Creativity is like crabgrass—it springs back with the simplest bit of care. I taught people how to bring their creative spirit the simple nutrients and nurturance they needed to keep it fed. People responded by making books, films, paintings, photographs, and much, much more. Word of mouth spread and my classes were easy to fill. In the meanwhile, I kept making my own art. I wrote plays. I wrote novels and movies. I did feature films, TV, and short stories. I wrote poetry, then performance art. From doing this work, I learned more creative tools, wrote more teaching essays, and, at the urging of my friend Mark Bryan, I got the essays assembled into teaching notes and then into a proper book. Mark and I stood elbow to elbow, printing and assembling the simple book that I could send out to people needing help. We mailed it in this form to perhaps a thousand people, who in turn photocopied and passed it on to their friends. We began to hear amazing stories of recovery: painters painting, actors acting, directors directing, and people with no declared art who began doing the art form they had always wished to do. We heard tales of sudden breakthroughs and slow awakenings. Jeremy P Tarcher, the noted creativity and human potential publisher, read an early draft of the work and decided to publish it. Meanwhile, I divided the book into a twelve-week course, each section dealing with some specific issue. This simple book was the distillate of twelve years of teaching and twenty years of making art in many forms. At first I called it Healing the Artist Within. Finally, after much thought, I decided to call it The Artist’s Way. It explained and explored creativity as a spiritual issue. I began to witness my own miracles. I often traveled to teach, and at book signings and public venues people began to hand me CDs, books, videos, and letters conveying this thought: “I used your tools and made this, thank you so much.” My most frequent compliment was, “Your book changed my life,” and I heard it from artists of little fame and great fame, in backwaters and on the international frontlines. Using the tools, painters went from being blocked to winning large, juried exhibitions. Writers went from not writing to winning Emmy and Grammy awards for their work. I found myself humbled by the power of God, the Great Creator, to restore strength, vitality, and inspiration to individual creative paths, diverse and divergent. One woman, a blocked writer in her midfifties, became an award-winning playwright. A longtime sideman conceived and executed a bravura solo album. Long-harbored dreams bloomed everywhere the Great Creator turned a gardening hand. I received thank-yous that properly belonged to God. I was a spiritual conduit for the central spiritual fact that the Great Creator loved other artists and actively helped those who opened themselves to their creativity. Artist to artist, hand to hand, The Artist’s Way began to spread. I heard about groups in the Panama jungle, in the outback, and at that other heart of darkness, The New York Times. Druid groups, Sufi groups, and Buddhist groups all found common ground in its simple creative precepts. The Artist’s Way reached the Internet, forming groups or, as I call them, “clusters” that were like large melon patches sending feeders and tendrils out to form now a group in England, now in Germany, now a Swiss Jungian contingent. Like life itself, The Artist’s Way, which began to be called a “movement,” did indeed move onward tenaciously, and even voraciously. Artists helping other artists proliferated. Works of art blossomed and careers took off and steadied, surrounded by supportive friends. I was a willing witness. A hundred thousand people bought and used the book. Then two hundred, then a million, then more. We heard of, and occasionally helped initiate, The Artist’s Way’s use in hospitals, prisons, universities, human-potential centers, and often among therapists, doctors, AIDS groups, and battered women’s programs, not to mention fine-arts studios, theological programs, and music conservatories, and, of course, always passed hand to hand, mouth to mouth, heart to heart, artist to artist, as a form of first aid and gentle resuscitation. Like a miraculous garden, The Artist’s Way continued to grow, grow, and grow. It is still growing. Just this morning I received in the mail a newly published book and a thank-you. To date, The Artist’s Way appears in nearly twenty languages and has been taught or recommended everywhere from The New York Times to the Smithsonian, from Esalen to elite music studios at Juilliard. Like AA, Artist’s Way clusters have often gathered in church basements and healing centers, as well as in a thatched hut in Central America, and in a python-surrounded shack in Australia. Did I mention that many therapists run facilitated groups? They do. People “heal” because creativity is healthy—and practicing it, they find their greater selves. And we are all greater than we can conceive. I wanted The Artist’s Way to be free and, like the twelvestep movement, largely leaderless and self-taught, growing through simplicity and lack of control, performing its expansion through an easy-does-it series of natural, call it seasonal, self-evolving checks and balances. “It will guard and guide and fix itself from abuses,” ran my approach. As we passed the million mark, I feared for the necessary time and privacy to make my own art—without which personal experience I could not continue to help others. How could I write a teaching book if I had no fresh insights as to what to teach? Inch by inch, I retreated to the solitude of my personal creative laboratory—the still, quiet place within myself where I could make art and learn from the making of it. Every piece of art I made taught me what to teach. Every year I worked taught me that creativity was open-ended. There was no upper limit, although some growth was slow. Faith was the required ingredient. I began to write dispatches, short, pointed books aimed at disarming the real and present dangers of trying to make a sane and gentle creative life. I wrote The Right to Write, Supplies, and other, more homely and gentle guides such as The Artist’s Date Book, The Artist’s Way Morning Pages Journal, and my prayer books aimed at creating a sense of safety and well-being for those who tread the creative path in this world. I wished for people good cheer and good companions. Although art was a spiritual path, it could best be trod with fellow pilgrims. People listened. Meanwhile, Artist’s Way books were mandatory on certain tour buses in the music scene, included as savvy set decor on films, mailed off to and from grandmothers blooming brightly in their sturdy dotage, and served as a bridge for many successful artists to change creative habitats and genres. As for myself, a novel, a short-story collection, and three plays found firm footing amid my publishing seventeen books and continuing, carefully, to both make art and teach. My students won prizes, and so did I. Utne Reader chose The Artist’s Way as a masterpiece, the poetry album I made with Tim Wheater was selected for best original score, and my teaching books continued to appear on bestseller and editor’s choice lists throughout America and the world. Is it any wonder I often felt dazed and confused, overwhelmed by the velocity of people and events? It is one of the ironies of a celebrated writer’s life that our natural inclination to sit alone behind a desk becomes more and more difficult to pursue. My own morning pages were an invaluable, continuing source of guidance. I was told both to seek solitude and to reach for the companionship of other artists who believed, as I did, that we were always led both by the Great Creator and by those who have gone before us, treading their Artist’s Way and loving the same art forms we do. Higher powers stand ready to help us if we ask. We must remain ready to ask, open-minded enough to be led, and willing to believe despite our bouts of disbelief. Creativity is an act of faith, and we must be faithful to that faith, willing to share it to help others, and to be helped in return. Outside my window, out over the Hudson, a very large bird is soaring. I have seen this bird for days now, sailing, sailing on the fierce winds that are the slipstream around this island. It is too large to be a hawk. It is not shaped like a gull. The Hudson Valley is full of eagles, higher up. I cannot believe this is one, but it seems to know exactly what it is: eagle. It doesn’t tell its name. It wears it. Maybe, as artists, we are such birds, mistaken by ourselves and others for something else, riding the current of our dreams, hunting in the canyons of commerce for something we have seen from higher up. For artists, a wing and a prayer is routine operating procedure. We must trust our process, look beyond “results.” Artists throughout the centuries have spoken of “inspiration,” confiding that God spoke to them or angels did. In our age, such notions of art as a spiritual experience are seldom mentioned. And yet, the central experience of creativity is mystical. Opening our souls to what must be made, we meet our Maker. Artists toil in cells all over Manhattan. We have a monk’s devotion to our work—and, like monks, some of us will be visited by visions and others will toil out our days knowing glory only at a distance, kneeling in the chapel but never receiving the visitation of a Tony, an Oscar, a National Book Award. And yet the still, small voice may speak as loud in us as in any. So we pray. Fame will come to some. Honor will visit all who work. As artists, we experience the fact that “God is in the details.” Making our art, we make artful lives. Making our art, we meet firsthand the hand of our Creator. IN ENDING THIS BOOK, I yearned for a final flourish, some last fillip of the imagination that would sign the book. This was a small and harmless conceit, I felt—until I remembered the number of times I have enjoyed a painting and been distracted by the outsized artistic signature of its maker. So, no final flourishes here. The truth is that this book should probably end with an image from another book. As I recall it, and this may be my imagination and not my memory at work, an early edition of Thomas Merton’s Seven Story Mountain featured a mountain on its book jacket—the seven-story mountain, no doubt. Maybe it did and maybe it didn’t. I read the book many years ago, a precocious twelve-year-old. What I conjure now is a mountain of Himalayan proportions with a path winding upward to its height. That path, a spiral path, is how I think of the Artist’s Way. As we pursue climbing it, we circle back on the same views, over and over, at slightly different altitudes. “I’ve been here before,” we think, hitting a spell of drought. And, in a sense, we have been. The road is never straight. Growth is a spiral process, doubling back on itself, reassessing and regrouping. As artists, our progress is often dogged by rough terrain or storms. A fog may obscure the distance we have covered or the progress we have made toward our goal. While the occasional dazzling vista may grace us, it is really best to proceed a step at a time, focusing on the path beneath our feet as much as the heights still before us. The Artist’s Way is a spiritual journey, a pilgrimage home to the self Like all great journeys it entails dangers of the trail, some of which I have tried to enumerate in this book. Like all pilgrims, those of us on the Artist’s Way will often be graced by fellow travelers and invisible companions. What I call my marching orders others may sense in themselves as a still, small voice or, even more simply, a hunch. The point is that you will hear something if you listen for it. Keep your soul cocked for guidance. I finally discovered the source of all movement, the unity from which all diversities of movement are born. Creation is only the projection into form of that which already exists. A painting is never finished—it simply stops in interesting places. When Mark Bryan began cornering me into writing this book, he had just seen a Chinese film about Tibet called The Horse Thief. It was an indelible film for him, a classic of the Beijing school, a film we have since searched for in Chinese video stores and film archives, to no avail. Mark told me about the film’s central image: another mountain, a prayerful journey up that mountain, on bended knee: step, lie prostrate, stand and straighten, another step, lie prostrate In the film, this journey was the reparation that a thief and his wife had to make for damaging their society by dishonoring themselves through thievery. I have wondered, since then, if the mountain that I see when thinking of the Artist’s Way isn’t another mountain best climbed in the spirit of reparation—not to others, but to ourselves. I wish I could take language And fold it like cool, moist rags. I would lay words on your forehead. I would wrap words on your wrists. “There, there,” my words would say— Or something better. I would ask them to murmur, “Hush” and “Shh, shhh, it’s all right.” I would ask them to hold you all night. I wish I could take language And daub and soothe and cool Where fever blisters and burns, Where fever turns yourself againstyou. I wish I could take language And heal the words that were the wounds You have no namesfor.

Our current material universe is composed of the broken shards, or kelippot, of this event. In this context the primary spiritual goal in our plane of existence is to conduct the process of Tikkun Olam, meaning repair, or healing, of the universe….or reuniting the broken shards. I feel every act of artistic creation is a participation in tikkun olam. As artists we strive to gather the kelippot: joys, sorrows, pleasures, pain, wonders, terrors, fears and courage. We seek to garner light, dark, color, sound, scents, elements, molecules and atoms. We mold, mix, manipulate, manhandle and massage the shards, recombining them into a new & unique manifestation of our vision. And if we are lucky enough for that vision to have an audience we not only participate in our own elevation and healing, we also have the chance to elevate, repair and inspire another. An animal lover and a mother of four, I have engaged with a variety of art forms since childhood, including theater arts, visual art, jewelry making, sculpture and stained glass. All along the way as my passion for the arts grew and developed so did my passion for teaching and sharing the wonders I was finding with others. Some of my fondest memories are of observing one of my greatest inspirations: my grandfather, a portrait artist, as he painted. Following his lead, I discovered a passion and talent for portrait painting and have been studying and developing skills and techniques to capture the inner light and spirit of the moment. My fine art fused glass practice developed in parallel, evolving from roots in stained glass and jewelry making to advanced kiln-fused and torch-fired methods for manipulating hot glass. As I continue to explore this ancient medium and its infinite modern applications I experience both literal and metaphoric expressions of Shevirat ha-Kelim & participation in tikkun olam

The land of Camelot perhaps? Do you look at certain paintings, longingly wishing to be transported there through a time machine? This is the way some paintings affect me. Creativity has the power to transcend and transport the imagination, and it is a wonderful thing! My absolute favourite Pre-Raphealite painting is based on Lord Alfred Tennyson's poem, The Lady of Shallot and is so beautifully put to music by Lorenna McKennit. John Atkinson Grimshaw did his own exceptional interpretation of the poem in his paintings. John Atkinson Grimshaw 1836-1893 I've have always been particularly partial to the English landscape painter John Constable, and for that matter, passionate about the art work of all the Romantic painters. When I look at a Constable painting, I want to be right there in those expansive English countryside fields, with the grand trees, and skies, filled with bilious stormy clouds, and maybe some Beethoven's Pastoral No 6 Symphony in the background. Just kidding about that part! I especially admire Constable's ability to render the countryside. Besides his skill, exceptional talent, and ability to paint, the reason I identify with his subject matter, I expect has to do with my love of the land, and why I live in the countryside myself for over 20 years. Constable's objective to express emotion through landscape was definitely accomplished as seen in his beautiful renderings, study of trees, clouds and the land. He obviously had a deep love for the land and the environment. This is why I think I identify so strongly with him. In the past , I'd never aspired to be a landscape painter, because the undertaking impressed me as being too overwhelming, and daunting. I thought I'd surely get bored, and loose interest, or so I thought. I have since changed my opinion. I have created a few landscape paintings of the local scenes, where I live. An artist can't help but be influenced by their environment, and have it emerge in their subject matter in some manner. There are however so many varied ways to interpret landscape. I don't know if I'll ever take up full fledged interest in landscape as a subject matter, but I certainly do love seeing the variety of landscape painters and the myriad of expressions to be found in their art. Today I found out about a rather overlooked artist. The Victorian-Era painter, John Atkinson Grimshaw Sept 6-1836 - Oct 13 - 1893, who created numerous landscapes, portraits, and some still life. He was very influenced by the Pre-Raphealites, founded in 1848 by William Holman Hunt. These painters appeal to my hopeful romantic nature. His moody atmospheric expressions of England, in the moonlight, are absolutely captivating. Knowing my family genealogy, on my mother's side, who's family came from England, specifically Yorkshire, where many of these painting scenes were depicted by John Atkinson Grimshaw, allow me to virtually experience in a small way what it must have been like to be there in that historical time and place, which completely captures my imagination. My most favourite Pre-Raphealite painting, The Lady of Shallot, by John William Waterhouse. Recreating in his narrative work, the Victorian poet's poem written by, Alfred Lord Tennyson. This poem was also put to music by Lorenna McKennitt. woley said... Ah, the Pre-Raphaelites! You remind me that I should put a couple of Lorena's songs on my iTunes wish list. I love The Lady of Shalott--never much bothered with the poem until i heard her singing it. Also The Blacksmith and The Highwayman which was a poem my Dad used to read to us when I was young. So many. It,s rather a shame that these older poems are not popular today. Catherine Meyers said... Thanks so much for visiting again and for your great comment. Loreena's one of my very favourites. Especially because she gives life to these poems in a way that everyone can come to know,or experience them in a new way. Check out John Donne's Dark Night of the Soul. Love the Blacksmith and the Highwayman!

The Victorian Premier’s Design Awards Showcase was a multi modal exhibition and includes an enduring research archive celebrating twenty five years of design excellence from Victoria. The exhibition at the RMIT Design Hub was a feature of Melbourne Design Week 2022 and included object display, commissioned documentary films, co-curated installations, award entries, a forty metre digital media projection and an augmented reality 'NEXT - Emerging designers AR Showcase' immersive digital experience. The themes driving this showcase were: THEN \| WHO \| HOW \| NOW \| NEXT. The exhibition features a circle motif and watermark logo inspired by the architecture of the RMIT Design Hub. Design Brief: The design brief included the curatorial research of the history and significance of the awards, identification of emerging design talent, a commission of five documentary films and the design of the public exhibition at the RMIT Design Hub. The showcase was to celebrate Victorian Design and engage the community as both a venue for functions and also a major event during the 25th anniversary events program. Prior to this commission no historical archive documenting these significant awards was in existence. The curatorial research involved sourcing, collating and digitising data from individual awards catalogues on the entries, organisers, judges and prizes for the awards program. Sourcing this original material proved to be a unique challenge during COVID 19 lockdowns, with no access to publicly held records. The original brief did not include films however this was added at the request of the curator to enhance the enduring impact of the project. This project was developed by: Design Process The exhibition design process began with the consideration of the unique gallery space in the award winning RMIT Design Hub designed by Sean Godsell. A commitment to sustainable design practice determined that the design should make use of the existing projection facilities and loaned display cases for object display. THEN \| WHO \| HOW \| NOW \| NEXT were adopted as themes. A pixel/dot design theme was inspired by the circular elements that form the facade of the iconic RMIT Design Hub building and to recognise the 2006 Premier's Design Award - Design Mark presented to Sean Godsell. Film production included the design of motion graphics to highlight significant award entries and link the films to the overall theme. The 40 metre AV projection was developed with over 210 minutes of content and featured a tribute to the Queens Baton Relay, Holden Design, and the Keep Cup. These single image animations exploited the long narrow space and drew the viewer into a more immersive experience. These tributes came out of the research and emerged from a design process focussed on maximising the opportunity of the seven projectors. The feature objects provided by Visnja Brdar, Georgia Chapman and Jenny Morgan were as a result of a co design process with these outstanding designers. A development of the watermark array of 5 x 5 dots referenced the twenty five years since the awards were established, and highlights the seventeen times the awards have been held. This elegant design solution assisted the audience to place the work being viewed in the correct historical timeline. The watermark featured on 178 digitally printed dots on the west wall in the space with the year the work was entered in order from 1996 to 2021. Dots were curated by color during installation and exceeded the impact envisaged in the design concept. Design Excellence The work being celebrated in the showcase represented excellence so the goal at all times was to honour and deliver design excellence. The dot concept was deeply considered at all levels and across the multi modal delivery with passion and commitment to good design. Consideration of traffic flow, OHS and COVID rules, the challenge of a long narrow space, were all constraints that were incorporated by a team with experience and a commitment to good design. The many individual elements were integrated and each design execution was creative but consistent and design management ensured integrity of the visual theme of the pixel/dot and THEN \| WHO \| HOW \|NOW \| NEXT. Over one thousand images were created and incorporated into the films, audio visual projection, project dots, AR app and social media content. Design Innovation Design innovation in this project is demonstrated in the creative use of the latest augmented reality tools to deliver the 'NEXT - Emerging designers AR Showcase'. Chosen as the delivery platform for our emerging design talent the immersive user experience was engaging and popular with visitors. The app can be explored as part of the enduring archive for this project. Design innovation also is demonstrated by the creative deployment of a digital only execution that delivered a sustainable exhibition for Design Week 2022. The watermark dot array design solution delivered a user centred navigation of the data for 178 projects across 25 years. This intuitive design solution was simple and effective. Design Impact The enduring research record that evolved from this project will have an impact for design education and Australian society for many years to come. In particular the films offer insight into design process, manufacturing in Australia, and the careers and design education of some of our most awarded designers. This commission adds significantly to a broader body of work on design in Australia. The exhibition was featured in National media and the video produced by Creative Victoria during design week was widely shared on social media and features on the home page of the Victorian Premier's Design Awards.

Animation would allow Makine to adapt the narrative while creating a unique style that would be unforgettable, fun, and fresh style. Makine’s creative team achieved this by using 2 1/2 D animation, with characters designed for the spot, and an aesthetic that felt fresh and strong. A great sound design that highlighted some of his most fun and exciting memories was the first step and then added visuals to reflect his recollections. What a thrill and honor to have been part of this launch. Share on Facebook Stay up to Date on Everything with Moccasin Your privacy is important and we will never share your information.

We have conceived the future in ignorance of the reality of the oceans. It has become indispensable to broaden our field of consciousness in order to overcome the challenges that lie ahead. After crossing the gates of the sea and taking a fresh look at the origin of life on earth, I have since worked to create a link between the depths of the sea and the world on the surface. Indépendant on sunday 1997 Malvina, a visual artist and underwater painter, paints submerged in scuba diving gear. A graduate of Fine Arts (DNSEP) degree (Superior National Diploma of Plastic Arts) and a certified diving instructor Padi (OWSI), she combines her skills to paint the underwater world which has been her favorite subject for over twenty years. In 2014, Malvina created the performance of « La Queue de la Baleine » (The Whale’s Tail) to educate the general public and children about the underwater dimension and promote individual and collective awareness A work of art to protect whales La Queue de la Baleine (The Whale’s Tail) represent a non-verbal language, the perfect image of harmony between nature and human with a sense of joy provided by the vital energy of cetacean. I chose as a vector the participatory performance of « La Queue de la Baleine », to create a universal work of art that will welcome thousands of people. We are currently 553 participants out of 1000. One thousand being the goal to reach for the first exhibition, before becoming a travelling performance around the world. Participate in the creation of a living and evolving work of art ! Each participant will receive his or her photo by email with the attribution number to the work given by order of arrival. Participants are invited to pose for a photo shoot in front of « The Whale’s Tail » which is an acrylic painting, designed and created by Malvina on a 12m² linen canvas. The author proposes that the public pose with their arms wide open to express a desire to open up to the world and to life. A performance travelling around the world The vocation of the work is to have thousands of people share in a sole action, while rendering the gesture of each, unique. Exhibitions will be organized throughout the trip and the participants will receive all an invitation in the private viewing. Posters and books will be published, retracing the history of the performance, which will be progressively enriched by the course of its journeys and meet. The friends of the whales will become the natural ambassadors of the oceans.

The sculpture by Cape Breton native William Ernest Brown entitled “Land of Our Own” was erected near the Sydney Marine Terminal last month to salute the diversity of people who came to Cape Breton. “It’s the symbol of an immigrant arriving in a new land searching for a home, a man and his son. When tourists come it makes things more interesting, so we see it not only as a memorial to immigration but it also helps to enhance the wharf area as a tourist attraction,” said Greg MacLeod, who is organizing a dedication ceremony Wednesday at 2 p.m. at the marine terminal. Brown will be available for a meet-and-greet at the Joan Harriss Cruise Pavillion following the ceremony. Brown donated the eight-foot bronze statue to the people of Cape Breton after his grandniece Kelsee Peters and grandnephew Craig Peters discussed his Cape Breton roots with MacLeod. “He has been a sculptor and wanted to put something somewhere but it meant a lot more to him that he would have it in Cape Breton since he was from here,” said Craig Peters, a recent graduate from Cape Breton University. “I think it is incredible and great for Cape Breton. It’s great that the people who come off the ships will get to see it. But mostly I’m just happy for him because I know how much it means to him.” Brown was born in Sydney in 1929. He studied art at Holy Angels Convent and continued to paint until he finished high school. His family opened Brown’s Jewellery on Charlotte St., the current site of London Jewellers. Brown worked in that store while studying gemology. At age 29, he went to work in the jewelery business in Montreal, then moved to New York a year later to forward his career in the field. In 1969, he moved to California and opened a business specializing in customized, personalized stationery. He built that business from one store in Los Angeles to 35 franchises from New York to Jakarta, Indonesia, and boasted Hollywood clients like Rock Hudson, Elizabeth Taylor, Bob Hope, Lucille Ball and Cher. In 1992, he took an interest in sculpting, joined a sculptors’s club and entered his first piece in the National Society Competition. He then found himself back in New York to study marble carving before travelling to Italy to work and study. [email protected] Share story: Local, trusted news matters now more than ever.

Kyle Basilius By Juan Nieto It is our job to be curious and to listen as we are not the holders of the perfect solution. It is the end users and how they plan to work and deliver care in their space that we as architects will enhance through design. Kimberley Kennedy By Juan Nieto Architectural design to me has always been the bringing together of the arts and the sciences; pooling together creative ideas, testing solutions that are both aesthetically pleasing and functional. Design is a process which collectively strives to positively impact people’s lives in their environments, communities, homes, or places of work. Shane Czypyha By Juan Nieto Parkin’s approach to social architecture is centred around dedicated engagement with interest groups, program users, and rightsholders to build strong relationships and consider the community’s culture, history, and shared values. Through this we create spaces that foster connection, support, inclusivity, and a sense of belonging for all individuals in the community. Claire O’Donnell By Juan Nieto Healthcare architecture represents the intersection of emotion and technology. Effective and empathetic design transcends brick and mortar, technology and sterility and allows us to focus on people, creating space that embraces the fears and hopes of patients, and enhances the lives of all users. Richard Huot By Juan Nieto Our work touches some of the most vulnerable populations in our country. Whether it is a patient in a hospital, an inmate suffering from mental illness in a correctional facility, an elderly resident wanting to stay active and healthy and connected with family or children learning at school, they are all relying on the architecture … Continued Munir Macci By Juan Nieto Good design is well thought out in its functionality and appearance.

This is fantastic! How in the world has she managed to depict horse hair like that?”, a young design student from Belgrade shouted spontaneously while standing in front of one of Suzana’s paintings exhibited in Geca Kon Gallery. Upon opening the exhibition in Pančevo, a famous hyperrealist Dragan Malešević Tapi wrote down his impressions: “Well done, you are a true artist; when I first saw your paintings I thought they were actual photographs. Congratulations.” All visitors are under the same impression. At first, they are in confusion, as the famous painter: whether they are ahead of them paintings or photographs. And how big Suzana’s the love of horses is, can be seen and felt in her paintings: they look like live. The finishing touch is the eye: they have a glow that makes them a crown image. Without him Suzana’s horses were just beautiful. Our interviewee admits that it is difficult to paint horses, not only because you need a good knowledge of their anatomy and movement, but also because it should reveal their soul. Technique, for which this young artist decided, oil pastel, is not an easy. “Here the colors do not mix, but repairs. It is on the card, and it is not allowed even the smallest error. First, I draw the contours on the cardboard, and then I put the paint, layer by layer, until the horse comes to life. The final move is lustering eye. So painting gets its third dimension, what photographs can not capture.” That’s been a real painting horse farm with Lipizzaner horses, ponies and Arabian horses. There is nothing unusual because its exhibitions visitors breathless. ▪ As if they were alive (journalist Mima Majstorović, magazine “Politika”, Serbian daily newspaper, published in Belgrade) In a mysterious world of paintings portraits have always been the greatest challenge of all; silent guardians at the gates of the forbidden garden. Human nature can be seen both in the eyes and on the face of a man. The portrait is deprived of physical movement, but what makes iraculous realism of winged Pegasus and proud Bukefal for years. - A horse has always been the inspiration for the artists. Leonardo da Vinci himself said that not only painting a horse was a challenge, but that it also took a lot of courage to accept it - Suzana tells us. Up to know she has painted more than two hundred and fifty oils on canvas. She is using the oil pastel technique at the moment which won her the admiration of Dragan Malešević Tapi himself. - It’s done on the cardboard, colors don’t mix and not the slightest mistake is allowed. The work keeps on for days and nights, but my love towards horses makes me forget my great effort and hard work. A horse can be beautiful, but if you don’t give it your heart and soul it will never look alive in the painting, it will only remain “beautiful”. Full of life and beautiful, Suzana’s portraits are horse psychology encyclopedia of its kind. Within vivid frames various moods of these long-legged animals are being captured by using a range of different colors, something that the greatest experts at the horses’ nature only feel intuitively but are often unable to express it. Suzana’s paintings can do that. It seems as if her horses spoke of their secret inner world which was galloping just beside our daily life and the world of oblivion, familiar to all of us, but indistinct as the thud of horses’ hooves in the blue distance, in the evening. ▪ Portraits of horses (Miroslav Popović, journalist and editor, the trotting almanac of Serbia, magazine “KAS” art) In the premises of the Society for preserving Serbian culture and tradition, SKUT in Niš, exhibition of paintings by Suzana Stojanović is underway. It is the setting series of the horse artworks, in which the young artist for the first time in Niš, and the fifth time in her career, independently represents the lovers of fine arts. “With this exhibition I am offering audiences the world of nature and the beauty that we are all a bit forgotten”, says Suzana Stojanović, adding that her intentions and a kind of painting mission is that what is forgotten it again offers through her creativity. “I think that the task of the artist is to restore the audience the beauty and sincerity of experience. What I paint, namely lately mostly horses, I try to show as closely as possible I can, because this animal possesses an extraordinary beauty, elegance where nothing should be added, just needs to catch what is there, in front of the eye of the painter and the viewer”, she says about the model that is most commonly found in her paintings. Suzana has been painting since childhood. She is intensely painted by nineteenth year, and then suddenly, for reasons she could not explain, she left the easel. Just as she stopped painting, she suddenly returned to an old love, after thirteen years after the end of socializing with the paintbrush. The new passion for painting as a result gave five solo exhibitions in little more than two years. Restore the beauty and sincerity (B.R., “Narodne novine”, daily newspaper, Niš) The horse portraits painted by Suzana Stojanović, the artist from Niš, are magnificently real. They are magnificent not because the spatial, third dimension can be noticed almost immediately in these hyperreal paintings, but because of the warmth coming out of each painting, from the eyes of these noble four-legged animals, that, according to the legend, the Almighty made out of a gust of wind. - As if it was alive - an amazed young art lover said as he was standing for a couple of minutes with his eyes wide open in front of the portrait of a bay horse with bulging hindquarters, which was captured skillfully at a full gallop, waiting for it to make the next move. And the young painter, also a graduate student of literature, made her first moves with the paintbrush when she was four. Her indisputable talent was proven when she won an international award while attending the sixth grade of primary school. From then on, she paints oils on canvas (realism only), and up to now she has painted more than two hundred and fifty paintings with nature and rural motives, portraits of people. Now, she is exclusively painting horses. There’s an entire horse herd on the walls of a small living-room, twenty exquisite portraits of black horses, Lipizzaner horses, Arabian horses and ponies. Guest book is full of powerful impressions: “If someone had told me, I would not believe that there is something more perfect than Kodak, and it is the soul”, wrote actor Miroslav Žužić Žule. ▪ A sparkle in the eyes of Suzana’s horses (journalist B. Janacković, “Blic”, Serbian daily newspaper, owned by Ringier Media Corporation from Switzerland and Axel Springer AG from Germany) - The pride and breed are the themes of these beautiful works, whose author represents a fine combination of a lady and an artist, who at the same time nurtures literature, music and painting. With these words painter Dragan Sotirović opened a painting exhibition of horses in the gallery of the National University last Friday. Its author, Suzana Stojanović, was born in Vranje, but she lives and works in Niš. After she had finished High school of mathematics and technical science and High school of music, specializing in the violin, she studied literature even though painting remained her main passion. This extremely humble girl rarely speaks about her numerous domestic and international awards. Apart from the music festival awards and primary and secondary republic school competitions in match, physics and literature, she is also the youngest winner of the 7th September award in art of the city of Vranje. Maybe that was the crucial moment for her to devote herself to painting even though she is a graduate student of literature. - In order to paint a great painting, it is necessary to have knowledge of many fields, because that is the way of getting into the essence of what you want to present, says the artist who at the same time nurtures literature, music and painting. Literature and painting are the arts that complement each other and inspire each other, said this versatile artist. When asked who her role model when it comes to painting, this young artist firmly replied: Paja Jovanović. - He has a superb work. What he left behind is unique. You can spend hours looking at his work. ▪ Painting exhibition of Suzana Stojanović (S.L., “Slobodna reč”, weekly newspaper) A work of art or a photograph, that’s the first and the greatest dilemma for those who see the work of young Suzana Stojanović from Niš. Because what their eyes see looks so real as if it was “about to speak”. And yet, they are looking at the paintings that belong to hyperrealism, a movement which hardly involves any women painters all around Europe. - Hyperrealism makes it possible to go all the way to the portrait of a man or an animal comes to life, so I opted just for him - explains the artist. “The inspiration for my works I always find in nature. Horses cannot lie”, says the young artist. “They are sincere when they love, when they are furious, joyful or sad. I’ve tried to look into their soul.” - I do painting from the age of four - says Suzana Stojanović. - I got several awards at home and abroad, parents gave me basic supports, who are professors of literature, very committed to the arts. To address the young painter Suzana Stojanović arrived a few calls from abroad. People are interested in her work. ▪ Horses have soul too (Zoran Aracki, PhD, longtime journalist and Professor of Journalism and Communication at the Faculty of Philosophy in Niš, “Novosti”, Serbian daily newspaper) Only now when the school year is over can Suzana Stojanović, one of the top three pupils at “Vuk Karadžić” school in Vranje, get some rest. This summer break will really do her good as she couldn’t rest at all during the school year. This little girl spent almost all of her time at school, primary of the school of music, either participating in many sections or preparing for numerous competitions. And in between her regular classes and the violin a class, forgetting for a moment about the complex world of numbers and complicated mathematical rules, Suzana was taking her sketching block and colored pencils, devoting herself entirely to the world of drawings and paintings. Since the earliest childhood she was trying to draw, though not with precision, everything that surrounded her and in that way express all of her feelings. Suzana is now fifteen and her love for painting is never-ending. On the contrary, her artistic talent is becoming more and more expressed. Numerous competitions won in this field testify to that. Suzana is at the same time the only representative of the county district of Vranje who, together with the other children with the artistic talent from the other parts of the Republic, participated in Vuk’s 13th gathering that was held in Loznica. Her immense artistic talent was shown once again. She was chosen to participate in the Pupil’s art colony which was held in Petrovac on the river Mlava from 24th-30th June. Suzana has recently won three significant awards; two for her artistic and one for her literary work in contest the children's magazine Kekec organized under the name of “That’s brotherhood and unity”. This summer she is going to participate in two more art colonies in our county district: in Dobrejanac and Prohor Pčinjski. - I particularly like painting portraits - this talented girl says. I’m especially fond of Tito’s portrait, the one awarded in the contest of Kekec magazine and published in the almanac. Music is Suzana’s other great love. She has won significant awards in this field, too. Last year, out of twenty six compositions which were chosen for the 8th Festival of children’s creative work in the field of music, two were Suzana’s. She composed “The Yearning” and “The Indian Camp” for the violin, not hoping to be awarded. She even lost her sheet music. Fortunately, she knew her compositions by heart so everything ended well. Suzana likes other subjects, too. She has won numerous awards for both literary work and maths. Still, she regrets the fact that like most other children of her age she doesn’t have more time for walking, playing with her friends or going out. ▪ Young talents: painting is her love (N.M., newspaper “Vranjske”)

An opportunity to work in the studio, revisit street scenes, explore abstract compositions with a palette knife. palette knife painting Walk in Assisi, oil, 14 x 11 10 Steps to Palette Knife Painting Palette knife painting is a great way to cut loose from details and express abstract design. Artists often express their desire to paint expressively. Using a palette knife is a perfect way to create a strong composition, unified color palette and distinguished lifelike details. Compose & Design 1 See Large Abstract Shapes The natural urge to start with details is out of the question with a palette knife. Instead, start by blocking in the large abstract shapes. In this case, two large shapes dominate the composition; the building shape and the sky shape. (Yes, I wanted to paint the flowers ~ not just yet!) The entire right half of the painting is building shape! To block it in, I noted its proximity to the mid-line of the composition. Intentionally violating the mid-line, at the top I edged the roof beyond it. Letting the sky shape dive deep into the composition with a narrow slit, set a counter balance to the large building shape. 2 Distinguish Warm & Cool Tones To distinguish these two basic shapes, I chose warm and cool tones. For the building shape I used Gamblin Torret Warm Gray. The cool sky is Ultramarine Blue with Quick Dry White. Seeing these two large warm and cool shapes, roughly blocked in, creates the design for the whole painting in the first 10 minutes. 3 Distinguish Light & Shadow The top part of the buildings is in sunlight, lower in shadow. To set up this contrast, I choose cool red (Cadmium Red Dark) for the shadows and warm red (Cadmium Red Light) for the sunlit areas. I mixed each of these into the Gamblin Warm Torrit Gray, adding a bit of Quick Dry White to make the values the same. I blocked in the lower building shadows first, roughly with a small palette knife. Since this panel is small, the small palette knife I have with me is sufficient. Then I blocked in the upper sunlit sections. Develop Meaningful Color Relationships 4 Unify the Palette With the building only partially blocked in, I stopped to block in the sky shape. How the building appears in the painting is dependent on its relationship to the contrasting sky. It is important to establish this relationship early in the block in process. Waiting until the building is more established would disconnect these two important design elements in the painting. 5 Distinguish Textural Contrast To paint the sky, I used Solvent Free Medium and painted with a 1″ flat wash brush. This created a contrast to textural palette knife painting on the structures. Expressive Calligraphy & Details 6 Calligraphy A palette knife is much like a pen. Each person’s signature has a particular, recognizable personality. This signature often gets lost when painting with a brush. Strokes mush together. With a palette knife, strokes stand apart distinctively. Personal calligraphy is much easier to see and enjoy. Notice the contrast between the simple vertical strokes used to express the facade of the building and the wiggly strokes of blooming flora. Another example is the simple vertical window shapes on the building across the street, against the shadowed facade of the structure. 7 Adding Details Details are simply smaller shadow or highlight shapes. They are approximate ~ not exact! In this case, detail highlights are created with a slightly lighter, yellower version of the previous mixture of Warm Torrit Gray and Cad Red Light. I blocked these in to the upper part of the building. Likewise, I added a bit of Ultramarine Blue to create a slightly cooler, deeper version of the shadow tones. (Warm Torrit Gray, Cad Red Deep plus Ultramarine Blue, with White to adjust the value) This creates the deep shadows in the lower portion. 8 Adding Contrast In contrast to the structures, blooming geraniums cascade along the facade, How to put them in and have them integrated with the structure? These contrasting shadows and highlights must be related to the palette which has been established in the painting. Continuing with my rule of painting shadows first, I mixed a green version of the cool shadow color previously used in the lower portion of the building. Painting this shadow first anchors it to the shadows of the building itself. These shapes are approximate ~ not exact! Letting signature calligraphy be as it is, lets the artist’s own style emerge. 9 Highlights Note the difference between the shadow greens and highlight greens. Shadow greens (in the lower portion) are cool, Highlight greens are warm. These simple colors describe light and shadow of the foliage shapes. Letting a few stray strokes of calligraphy be without fussing over them, lends spontaneity and life to the painting. 10 Pops of Color The Flowers? Yes, I finally get to paint the flowers! Like setting the stage for a fine soprano, the star sparkles only if left alone to do her own thing! I used two reds to create the blooms. The cool Cadmium Red Deep, full intensity or with a slight bit of white creates the blooms in the shade. Cadmium Red Light, with a touch of Cad Yellow Medium pops the ones in the sunlight up. Put them in and leave them alone! Like dotting the i or crossing the t in your signature, don’t think about it. Just do it! Happy Painting!

Booking essential book here Screening event co-presented with LUX: Wed 11 Sept 2019, 7–8.30pm Write It Speak It Move It is a project devised by Rita Munus, a writing and events collective comprising of Sop and Charlotte Heather, both of whom live with chronic illness. Rita Munus will host a series of workshops on writing, vocals, percussion and movement with an invited group of artists across July and August at Cubitt Gallery. Work will be collectively developed to ask how we understand our chronically ill bodies, amplifying words and sounds that need to be heard in relation to capacity, capitalism, institutions, loved ones and the public. The project will not be about generating definitive answers or theories, but to investigate similarities, differences and hidden parts. Join us on September 7th when Rita Munus and the Write It Speak It Move It group will present the resulting form/s at Cubitt gallery – experimenting, extracting, sharing, swapping, instructing, listening, recording, scoring, drawing, exchanging and demonstrating. This is a relaxed event, this means that if you tic, shout or move about, you’re more than welcome. Please contact us if you have any particular access needs by phone 208 7278 8226 or email [email protected]. Cubitt is fully wheelchair accessible and there are wheelchair accessible toilet facilities. Assistance dogs are welcome in all spaces. The Write It Speak It Move It group is: Sop and Charlotte Heather (Rita Munus), Juliet Johnson, Zuleika Lebow, Irene Revell and Lucie Russell. Rita Munus are a collective that runs writing workshops and events with a focus on radical creative practice and process as a vehicle for topical discussion, exploration, play and catharsis. The collective is made up of writer Charlotte Heather and artist Sop and focuses predominantly on issues of chronic illness, queerness, otherness and capitalism, engaging with and prioritising participants who have direct experience with the themes. The first series of workshops ILLTH looked specifically at chronic illness, the sick body and capitalism. The sick body is seen as ‘less than’ within a capitalist framework, because it cannot participate in production to a ‘satisfactory’ level. But the sick body is not ‘less than’. Focus on ‘getting better’ or ‘being well’ puts unnecessary force on the sick body to achieve something that for many chronically ill people is impossible. Often this actually makes the body more sick. Capitalism leads to over exertion – capitalism leads to chronic illness – illness struggles to fit into capitalism, thus the circular plot. There is a distinct parallel between ILLTH’s focus on process, not production, and the need for the sick body to be able to focus on just being, as opposed to the binaries of sick and well and ‘getting better’. Future workshops will cover mental health, the pharmaceutical industry, the physical body and its movement, gender identity and sexual identities and behaviours, all in conversation with capitalism. “The workshops let you write, but what you write is not for others consumption. You do not create a final product. You enter an ongoing series of discussions with each other on subjects which apply to the participants. You write something that you can do whatever you want with. You write because you have something to say, even if it is only to yourself. You write to play; with words, ideas, the world, yourself, others. You do not write to commodify your feelings, to conform to production, or to make yourself palatable to others. You do not write to be consumed, you write to experience writing.” rita – to tear, scratch, write munus – service performed for the community, duty, work Commissioned and supported by Unlimited, celebrating the work of disabled artists, with funding from Spirit of 2012.

Upper Gallinas Campground, Gila National Forest. New Mexico, USA ©Daniel Gauss/Shot On Site I rarely go out with the express intention of only shooting bracketed exposures. It's been 10 years, in fact. On this one day road trip up to the Black Range in the Gila, it was my main purpose. I wanted to try out the new HDR Merge extension for Luminar Neo with multiple exposures. In the previous post, I tried out its "single image HDR" capabilities with great success. This image was made up of 5 images, each 1 stop of exposure apart; an average exposure, and +1, +2, -1, -2. I used several other Luminar Neo tools to complete the image, including layers, sunrays, and atmosphere. Gotta say, it looks nothing like an image from the early days of HDR. No "clown vomit" here! Skylum have announced several more extension releases before 2022 is over, one of which is already here: NoislessAI, and Upscaling will follow shortly.

Monday, August 08, 2022 Autumn is nice in New Mexico, but... ...monsoon brings out the very best in photographic opportunities! Lightning captured from the front porch. ©Daniel Gauss/Shot On Site Here's what Wikipedia has to say about our monsoon: "The North American monsoon is a complex weather process that brings moisture from the Gulf of California (and to lesser extent the eastern Pacific and Gulf of Mexico) over northwestern Mexico and southwestern US resulting in summer thunderstorms, especially at higher elevations. Monsoon rains account for 35% to 45% of total rainfall in the desert Southwest" Thunderstorms mean heavy (but scattered) rain, and more importantly, lightning! Nothing is more satisfying than capturing a great lightning image. For a long time, before the digital era, nothing was more frustrating than trying to capture a great lighting image! One had to stand in the rain with a cable release in hand, and the shutter dial set on "B"... push the plunger for a set amount of time and hope that a lighting strike occurred when the shutter was open. Lather, rinse, repeat. With the advent of digital imaging, many cameras of the advanced amateur and pro levels came with an intervalometer setting. One could specify a certain number of exposures, at a specified interval, and the camera would then do the heavy lifting, while the photographer enjoyed a cold beverage in front of the TV. When the storm subsided, the memory card was loaded in the computer, and the hunt for any frames with a lightning strike would begin. That's how I captured the image below way back in 2011, also from the front porch. To this day, I think this is still the best storm to ever pass over our heads heading West. Monsoon lightning. ©Daniel Gauss/Shot On Site 2011 This method had it's obvious drawbacks, of course. The number of shutter actuations vs the number of images of lightning was excessive, considering the lifespan of shutters back then. The solution was having a device that would only fire the camera when there was actually a lightning bolt! These devices did exist then, but for many of us the price was prohibitive- $500 and up. Then, in 2016, I began to see ads for a device that didn't cost an arm and a leg and promised I'd be able to capture lightning, and a whole lot more! That device was the Pluto Trigger ! It was only $119 then, and it's still $119 today. I bought one, of course, and have been very pleased with it's capabilities, not only for lightning capture, but so many other functions (but more on that in another post). The image at the top of this story was made possible, in part, with the Pluto Trigger. (Follow the link to learn more). Friday, December 24, 2021 An Annual Holiday Greeting...

NEW YORK — Angela Missoni saw more than a store whenever she visited the Missoni flagship at 1009 Madison Avenue and 78th Street here. The Missoni creative director had an idea for animating the store and engaging customers: Surface Conversion, which launches tonight in the 8,300-square-foot unit. Missoni hopes to cross-pollinate disciplines such as visual art, film, architecture, design, literature and poetry with fashion. Every three months the work of a new artist will be featured. Missoni hopes the works will start conversations and foster the idea of sharing and supporting contemporary art. “Every time I would come to New York and see the window and location of that store, it became very clear that it could be [used] for another important thing,” Missoni said. “I thought maybe I should give artists a chance to show their work. I finally made it happen.” Missoni is asking artists to develop site-specific projects with the possibility of integrating artworks into every corner of the store. There will be an emphasis on the store windows, but the project’s goal is to transform the scale of the store into a creative stage and platform for art, fashion and culture to flow freely. “It will still be a fashion store, of course, but I’ll give artists the chance to use the space inside and the window,” Missoni said. “The intention is to develop a series of happenings that can foster a dialogue with the street because the space is open and you can see inside.” The project begins with Servane Mary, who works with appropriated images of women from the Forties through the Seventies. Some of the women she considers heroes, and others antiheroes or misunderstood or misrepresented tragic figures. “Eldridge” is an image of a young cowgirl seen through curved glass. “Her work is a reflection of women,” Missoni said. “Also, it’s interesting because she has a band she plays in, the Cornichons, who will give a live performance tonight. This gives you an idea of the kind of shop I want to this to be.” Missoni said she’s placing no restrictions on the artists. “I’ll talk to them and we’ll decide together that the project is,” she said. “I have to go on and sell merchandise. If I don’t sell the merchandise I will never be able to create the opportunity. This is something that will really interest my customers. It’s also a chance for some downtown artists to come and show uptown. This is the first experiment. The store has something special. It’s the prefect place and size.” load comments blog comments powered by Disqus

When she died, she left the city bereft - a gaping hole so big that it left the art community and its inhabitants forever changed. Gilda was a doer and a giver. As an educator, she offered encouragement, support, and the kind of personal attention and practical advice that launched the careers of countless young artists. She was known for her “I see you, and I know what you can be” academic philosophy. As a community leader, she served on numerous civic and cultural boards, ran several community galleries, and brought together groups to create engaging art experiences throughout the city’s neighborhoods. She was also a tireless supporter of Detroit’s art scene, attending and documenting, on her now-legendary YouTube channel, events and exhibitions across the city. Gilda was a professor at the College for Creative Studies where she taught painting for more than 30 years. A graduate of Detroit’s famed Cass Technical High School, she earned bachelor’s and master’s degrees at Wayne State University, where she studied with painter John Egner, one of the linchpins of the Cass Corridor tribe of artists from whom Gilda drew much inspiration. Abstract and personal, Gilda’s oeuvre spanned a wide range of media. Marrying her narrative constructs with an art-historical application, she created striking, poetic works that became bravely personal objects - her various series, from Tornados to Imaginary Landscapes to Flora Urbana, beat paths into her own heritage, history, urban environment, and love of nature, becoming enigmatic metaphors for the artist’s interior life Gilda Snowden was a magnetic source of inspiration to many. She was a beacon of what our arts community truly embodies – generosity, spirit, and verve. I think that she’d be thrilled to have an exhibition named in her honor. So, with The Scarab Club’s annual Gilda Snowden Memorial Exhibition, may her memory and influence continue to radiate through our community. --Michelle Perron Michelle Perron, Juror She studied art history at Ohio Wesleyan University and Wayne State University.

All of this is about wider meaning of design in the company and its strategic impact. Using industrial design, we can visually explain what a purpose of product is and its function, with great simplicity. Design is really not about physical shape – it is whole thought process, hiding behind all kinds of meanings. This quote belongs to one of the modern Finland’s designer. It really well reflects what is now happening in Finland’s industrial design scene. Ask any person what he thinks about industrial design. Answers probably will involve such quotes as beautiful, stylish, ergonomic, comfy and modern products and all of it probably with furniture in mind. Art (that is beauty and style) is what Finland’s design started from, and that was a long time ago. Ergonomics are over discussed and familiar stage. So to any of Finland’s companies this kind of answer would sound naïve and outdated. At this time, concept of industrial design in this country is a lot wider than that quote might imply. Everything widely spins around business – and design is like driving force, creating economic indicators. And it’s not necessary about the product, at least not material one. It’s all about deeper shape of direction in which strategy and product moves as a whole. But let’s start from beginning. Jussi Ahola divides industrial design into two practical fields of design’s effect: consumer design and investment product. He also points out, that as an addition to practical work of design, industrial design also can be management, education or design exploration. So, everything began during 1950-s, when the point of design was to support and celebrate nation. Designers created and participated in shows with art that was local and not resembling anything else. Main objective was to produce something that catches eye, something that was beautiful, unique and exclusive. Typical quote from those times was „We got a prize in Milan”. Design’s significance was in shape, style and aesthetic. Does that remind you of anything? Designer was as creator, “golden arms”, which could create shapes of yet unseen, for masses. During 1960-s Finland was flooded by strong wave of industry. Wood production and processing demanded powerful mechanisms and nice things were deemed secondary. Designers also were searching for new opportunities. And they found them. Every piece of bigger equipment demanded some form of action, even more then smaller devices, so designers immersed themselves in this mechanical production. Some even point this as the beginning of industrial design. Design became part of process of product development. The process wasn’t easy, so designers never worked alone. The team was made out of engineers, mechanics and marketing specialists. The main difference is the fact that industrial designer never work alone, but rather in a team with other specialists. During 1970-s society worn by wars, turned back to domestic life and comfort. Main subject then were ergonomics and convenience. Consumer, be it child or aged person, became main subject of design research. Designers ceased taking interest in a product, and started to discuss what it is instead. Product’s definition was the main point of interest. So analysis and perception of customer’s needs became things of focus. <…> discussion about responsibility gained political tone <…> Soviet and moral responsibility of designer got so wide and included third world and other countries, which called for help. Restricting resources of the world as much as it was possible became purpose of design. It was also desired for a customer to make his own designs. <…> Money, status and consumerism were enemies. Everyone could be a designer. Later, about 1980-s, from deep discussion about very essence of product emerged new design field – design management. It was strongly affected by big company competitions and rapid growth. It was not enough to produce product now, you had to regulate its manufacturing and flow. The new kind of designer had to make a contribution to general strategic accomplishments; manage design’s resources; supervise design process; control mesh of information and ideas. According to Blaich, design manager operates on two levels: encouraging and identifying strategic part of design in a corporation, at the same time coordinating day-to-day operational interactions between related colleagues. Typical period statement was “Our production portfolio is consistent”. Most important design process – paths of design development and deployment. Designer became sort of coordinator, regulating not only product during its early stage of manufacturing, but also its production and sale indicators. Very important objective for design manager, from the beginning of production of product – supervise the product to meet the company’s concept, general product portfolio; that it would be in the same note as other products in the catalog, that it would be in standard. Question is – should nation’s tasks be carried out by someone who has formal business marketing education – is discussed in other professions as well <…>However, assumption now is that design marketing should be done by one who was educated as designer. During 1990-s, emerged another, common building need. Usual management for products wasn’t enough anymore. Marketing was rising, where emphasizing values of the company were more important than product consistency and brand recognition. Designers had to rise even higher and control not only product as a whole, but whole design experience – from early conceptions to manufacturing and selling. New term was invented – design strategy. Foresight of Consumer needs, strategic planning for future, company’s purposeful movement toward design – all of this and much more took in account most of different customer experiences and customer expectations. Time passed and industrial design’s meaning in Finland changed. Designer always tried to change his position from operation level tasks to strategic job. 2000-s and present times – sphere of design innovation and competitiveness. Rapidly rising threat from China forced companies to seek new ways to compete. It started to think more about product’s journey to the consumer. Demand for new spheres of services emerged. Product now became not only a tool for manufacturing, but more like amount of a whole lot of experiences involved. Consumer is not the mass anymore, but individual. Key words for companies – innovations, engine, novelty, innovative drive and so on. So I just drew you a picture of how Scandinavians and other West Europe sees design. Designer’s job is not to draw pretty pictures, but rather it’s strategy shaping, setting up management and competition with strong visual expression method. True, it doesn’t mean that all the earlier stages of design is obsolete and not used anymore. It’s just that design now, adjusting to world’s tendencies, has extended its activity possibilities. It’s called improvement. Schools are adjusting to new things, too, and offer suitable education. If you want to know more about it, I recommend you to read Anna’s Valtonen PhD paper “Redefining Industrial Design. Changes in the Design Practice in Finland”.

Several couples dance to the roaring sound of an energetic accordionist who plays from atop a stage. It’s La Danse Apache - a fiery waltz with controversial roots. This wild theatrical dance was a dramatic affair as it referenced the brutality of Parisian street culture. Participants often threw mock punches and were occasionally thrown to the ground - women or men. When Herkendell created this in 1911, he was working in Paris and surely astonished at the scene unfolding. He possibly witnessed it at the Moulin de la Galette - a popular haunt for artists. Many have tried to capture its lusty atmosphere - including Renoir in 1876 and Picasso in 1900. In 1911, Paris was abundant with hedonism and consumed by the dark realities of its nocturnal transgressions. Citizens were uninhibited, free to indulge their desires amid a society that courted controversy. Herkendell describes this dizzying mix of glamour and debauchery with spirited brushwork and commitment. The movements are palpable, the energy electrifying. He’s captured the driving heartbeat of Parisian nightlife. Signed/dated and housed in its original frame. Learn more about Friedrich August Herkendell in our directory.

The passionate brainchild of ace photographer and historian Aditya Arya, Museo Camera returned to cement its position as a creative hub for photographers in the national capital region. Most of the cameras on display hail from Arya&rsquos personal collection&mdashone that has been steadily growing for 40 years. The most striking feature when you walk in A giant chandelier made of Yashica twin lens reflex cameras. The name might sound unfamiliar to most, as Canon and Nikon DSLRs are the most commonly-sought after model these days, but fret not&mdasha walk through the three levels of this 18,000 sq ft museum will be crash course enough. Covering antique cameras from more than 100 nations, milestones in the visual world, as well as &lsquoless-glamourous&rsquo aspects like lighting and metering, Museo Camera recognises the need for a holistic education in photography, and is well-equipped to become that starting point. The ground floor has two archival galleries featuring vintage &lsquocuriosities&rsquo from the world of photography, including quaint ads, accessories and patents. We particularly loved the photographic timeline here, which not only laid out technical moments like the invention of the cyanotype, but also highlighted the influence of art movements like Dadaism. Also on this level is the Jhatpat studio Silver Grains, the dark room (named in reference to the light-sensitive emulsion on film&mdasha rare sight these days) and the soon-to-be-opened café &lsquoFig at Museo&rsquo. As you take the stairs up to the first level, don&rsquot forget to cock your head to the side&mdashevery bare surface in the building is covered with equipment traditional and zany&mdashbe it cutting-edge lens art, or even well-preserved folding cameras. Once upstairs, the museum&rsquos clean design allows for sweeping views of the two exhibition galleries and the Daguerre Lecture Hall, with cosy seating spaces thrown into the mix. We liked that so many elements in the museum were named after pioneers or photographic keywords&mdasheven the most uninterested child is likely to ask for more information. Thoughtful, and crafty The final level is home to the Herschel Lecture Hall (named after the Englishman who invented the blueprint, among other things), a small library, a resource centre, and the Aperture and Shutter Lounges. Why was ISO, part of the holy exposure triangle, left out We&rsquore not sure, but given that all other bases are so aptly covered, we&rsquoll let it slide. As recent media grads, we have no qualms in admitting that Museo Camera may be doing a better job at youth education than most entry-level photography courses. And their future plans sound just as ambitious. Walks, workshops and special events shall be curated by an &lsquoexpert panel&rsquo, and an artistic residency programme is also in the works. Conservation, restoration and consultancy services will also become a part of the museum&rsquos fabric under the India Photo Archive Foundation, as will a gift shop where visitors can take home one-of-a-kind memorabilia. An immediate gem worth checking out The Kulwant Roy photo collection, all set to be unveiled on October 2. And yes, you can absolutely take pictures. Founded in 2009, Museo Camera operates from 11am to 7pm, seven days a week. Tickets are priced at Rs 200, but workshops bear separate charges. You can follow their Instagram for updates.

Framed Dreher Prints Albert Dreher learnt from an early age that success was not handed in a silver platter. Even though he had strong passion for the arts, he knew that he had to work extra hard if he ever wanted to be a professional artist. He was lucky to have a supportive art teacher in high school - Meritt Hutton High School, Thornton, Colorado. The teacher supported and encouraged him in every step he undertook. He later enrolled in the Colorado Institute of Art. When he got married, his wife had to work two jobs while he worked in a psychiatric hospital in graveyard shift to support his family and to get him through art school. His dream was to become the best graphics designer in the country. However, just after receiving his first associates’ degree in advertising design in 1969, he was drafted into military service in the United States Army and his art career was unfortunately put on hold for some time. He trained as a military policeman and was deployed at Fort Polk in Louisiana where he was assigned to the 551st Military Police Company. Dreher was in charge of escorting military prisoners. One day, while on duty, his best friend and partner was shot dead as he was riding next to him. He recalls that this was the worst experience of his life and it affected him deeply and led him even deeper into his quest to create and succeed. Upon his discharge from military service, he immediately returned to Denver and re-entered in the Colorado Institute of Art and resumed his studies, and later became a full time artist. Today framed Albert Dreher art are a true reflection of his dedication. • Filter Your Art: • Print / Canvas / Frame • Size / Color / Shape Product Types Sorry, nothing is currently available in the category.

I’ve known Kelsie Gray for most of the time I’ve lived in Paducah. I’ve known her through a few transitions in her profession, first as a college writing instructor, then painting houses for a living after that gig disappeared, and then suddenly realizing that instead of seeing house interiors she’d painted posted on her social media page I was seeing a burgeoning window restoration business. It was sort of like watching a butterfly transform before my eyes. I looked up and wondered how all of that happened. I watched her make over a lot of historic windows, and saw her go to workshops to hone her craft. She made a crazy trip to New York City right during Covid to work on a restoration project there. She accidentally cut herself with all those sharp tools routinely, wore a lot of bandaids on her fingers, groused about comments she got at Home Depot from contractors as she stood in line to buy materials, and celebrated her victories as she got better at her job. All the while transforming decaying ugly windows that looked like they were ready for the junk heap into beautiful pristine pieces of history worthy of saving. When I started this project I put together a list of professions I thought would be illustrative of some powerful things that women participated in. Window restoration didn’t automatically pop into my head, but Kelsie did. Because I couldn’t take my eyes off what she was doing and accomplishing. Every day there was something new on her feed about her latest job and some of the other things in her life. She’s single, owns her own business, is passionate about what she does, holds herself to high standards, and is as funny as heck. She also has a soft spot for animals which endeared her to me as well. So I knew I had to include her. Kelsie’s workshop is a short walk from my house in a nondescript storefront that has gone through several iterations, the latest before her endeavor being a hotdog stand and lunchette. You can’t see what’s she’s up to from the huge plate glass windows in the front because the mini blinds are always pulled all the way down. Inside is a place that brought back my childhood in my dad’s carpentry workshop down in our basement. Boards of various sizes, widths, and kinds lined the back wall while benches loaded with accouterments for her work hugged the sides of the room. On a pegboard above the workbenches hung saws, clamps, and miter boxes. A blackboard announced her business name, “Kiss My Sash” with the month’s work stats listed below. There was serious consideration going on behind the artistry. The place smelled of wood and glue and growth. While I took pictures and she worked on a window destined to return to its former home, we talked about what restoring windows was like from a woman’s perspective. Kelsie being young, single, pretty (there’s that word), and fit makes her an easy target for comments from others who work in the trades. Some are surprised to see someone like her at a worksite deep in the weeds, so to speak, removing old windows and working on restorations. Her opinion isn’t always heard or welcome unless it comes by way of a male ally. Whistles and unbidden comments are common. I guess they can’t see her work, that beauty of her craft, before them. I had such a great time interviewing Kelsie and seeing her work firsthand. I loved getting a peek into her world. As far as I’m concerned she’s a rising star and someone I’m not only happy to have included in my project but a woman I’m proud of for all her strength, perseverance, and the beauty she creates. Making A Splash I’m getting ready to teach a beginners’ watercolor class that starts in a couple of weeks and goes through early August. This is a first for me to teach this many people at once. But it’s a good start since Dave and I hope to do more of it as we spend more time in Mexico in the future. So I’ve spent this week putting together my “curriculum,” deciding on what concepts to include and what I want to demonstrate. How do you distill 30 odd years of experience into 6 classes that give people the basics and enough confidence to continue to try more? That’s the challenge. Looking through our photos I found this guy from our trip to the St. Louis Zoo last year and thought what a fun subject he is. I love him for so many reasons, not the least of which is he has sun-lit hairs that make me smile. So I’m deciding whether to put him on the menu. He’s a little challenging but he’s got a lot of elements to show what you can do with watercolor without getting too fussy. My class is at Ephemera, our newest addition to the Lower Town Arts District. Kristin Williams, the owner, has been doing a super job with marketing, and the class is about full! Looking forward to starting this new adventure! When a Quilt Isn’t a Quilt A couple weeks ago someone asked if I could paint a 4′ X 4′ quilt on a piece of plywood to hang on their barn. Not what I usually do, but I’m always up for a challenge and I figured this would be pretty straightforward. We worked out a deal, and I started on the piece last week. My first task was to paint the entire board, front and back, several coats of the background color, cream. That’s probably the easiest part of the whole exercise. Kind of like painting a barn. When that looked smooth I begged some help from a true quilter, master fine art quilter, that is, Caryl Fallert, one of my neighbors and a good friend. I needed the use of her overhead projector to get my 5″ X 5″ picture of the quilt to the 4′ X 4′ size I needed. She converted the file to grayscale using some Photoshop magic, and after printing it out on acetate we went to work aligning the image to fit with my panel. A couple hours later I had my outline complete and was ready to start the actual process of painting. So far, I’ve completed the vine that coils around the border, a meandering undulating cord with loopy leaves and tulips and bud stems. The little isolated yellowish ovals you see are the centers of the roses that make up the middle of the quilt. You can see more of the vine and tulip detail here: Stay tuned while I add in rose medallions and fine tune. Special Talents To give you one small update, I didn’t get awarded the featured artist for the up-coming Bryn Mawr Rehab Hospital Arts Ability show which will be this Fall. I consider it an honor to have been invited to submit just the same. There have been other things, however, that have come along that have been even more rewarding. Sometime shortly before the Lower Town Arts & Music Festival I received a call from Easter Seals West Kentucky art program manager, Darlene Davenport, asking if I’d be interested in providing a workshop for their adult clients sometime in June. I have a soft spot in my heart for Easter Seals having worked at the Chicago Metro Easter Seals for six years about a decade ago. It remains one of my most memorable and rewarding jobs. So in spite of my trepidation I gave Darlene an enthusiastic YES! and scheduled a time to come tour the studio and discuss my eventual workshop. The Easter Seal adult program here serves adults of all ages from early 20’s and up. Their disabilities run the gamut from cerebral palsy to autism to traumatic brain injury. They participate in special activities such as the art program, as well as attend adult day care. The facility is bright and open with caring, capable staff. It’s a happy place in spite of what one might think given the seriousness of the disabilities seen among their clients. The art program is managed by Darlene and her assistant, Hope Boone. They’re both friendly, welcoming and infuse the small room with a sense of fun, color, and contagious creativity. When I visited, Hope was working with about 8 clients on a project drawing trees with colorful crayons and paints on muslin to be turned into wall hangings. The pieces were tremendously individual, each with its own strengths and personality — tall, skinny trees, trees with movement, trees of every shape. I went around the table and talked with each of the clients, and I knew immediately that the workshop would be a lot of fun if I could come up with a way to accommodate my watercolor style to their abilities. The workshop I’d been asked to do is part of a grant program through VSA Arts, an international organization where people with disabilities learn through, participate in, and enjoy the arts. (I happen to be a member and participate in their registry due to my deafness.) Artists are selected to provide workshops with clients developing a collaborative piece of artwork that will then become part of the Easter Seals West Kentucky 5th Annual Heart and Soul Art Celebration. This annual fundraiser features art from clients and local artists, as well the collaborative pieces created through these workshops. I decided, after a lot of deliberation, that I would simply sketch out the painting I had in mind and then begin working on it while the clients began painting their own “practice” pieces using watercolor paints that I supplied. My choice of subject was a pool of koi because of their colorful nature and fluid, flowing shapes and movement. I figured everyone could related to these fun fish that don’t rely on a lot of detail. The painting would be all about color and movement and hopefully reflect the fun of the workshop. Once I’d started the two main fish in the composition, and with the six or so clients busy painting their own fish at the main table, I called individuals up to my easel one at a time and asked them to paint sections of the painting on their own. I chose the colors and dipped the brush in the paint to ensure the right amount of paint and water, but each person was free to paint their area however they chose and to their level of ability. Lines and detail weren’t so important. Dribbles and drips were allowed and not fussed with. The colors washed on and the painting began to come together in a delicious way. I was touched by each person’s concentration and enthusiasm to be part of the painting. I sensed that something more than a painting exercise was going on. A shift in energy within me had transpired as the painting came to life, as it most assuredly did. My worries had been that something meaningful wouldn’t result from my workshop, that I’d lack the ability to communicate or integrate my experience with that of the clients. Would they be up to it? But I needn’t have worried as each of them approached the work with a calm self-assurance. I was the one who was scared, not them. So, I made some friends who helped me paint some koi in a way that I would not or could not have done on my own. I had one of the best creative days ever and more than anything felt so lucky to have participated. Afterall, it wasn’t just my painting. It became theirs as well, and that’s reflected in the signature I affixed, “Stefanie Graves & Easter Seals Clients.” If you’d like to see the finished painting in person and be part of the Heart & Soul Art Celebration, mark you calendar for Thursday, September 16, 6:00pm at Maiden Alley Cinema. Tickets are $20 and can be reserved by calling 443.1200 or 444.9687. I can’t think of a more worthy cause or a better way to spend a Thursday evening this Fall. All proceeds from the art auction benefit Easter Seals Western Kentucky. Unexpected Invitation An interesting letter greeted me yesterday in my mailbox. The folks from Bryn Mawr Rehab Hospital just keeping it comin’ it seems. A big envelope showed up yesterday from them, giving me hope that they’d sent my check for the painting I sold from the Arts Ability 2009 exhibition. Wasn’t that, though something just about as good. They’ve invited me to submit artwork for the 2010 Arts Ability show as the featured piece for show promotion. I must have touched a nerve with them since they kept my other painting for continued exhibit in their new gallery on campus and now have chosen me as one of the candidates for consideration of this honor. I can submit up to 6 paintings. Gotta start some new work to have at least one hot off the palate for them. I’m realizing, too, in looking back at my archives that I’ve been at this blog for a year now. Wow, a lot has happened since then – certainly a lot of paintings and new energy in doing this. Thanks to all of you who check in to see my work and what I’m up to. You’re a valued part of my process. The Sparrows Continue The little fluffy sparrows are filling out on their limb. I’ve created a composite composition from a couple of the photos I took when they were all feeding during the cold snap from a week or so ago. The two at opposite ends create a nice pair of bookends of action for the two still sparrows in the center. There’s less detail in those two, creating small ovals of quiet that want to fade into the grays and browns of the bare tree and the solitude of winter. The detail in their fellow sparrows creates a nice counter weight. I’ll post the final outcome tomorrow of this winter scene in miniature. In the final stretch I’ll do the tree branches and add a little more color and details to the birds to bring the composition together. Out On A Limb The days have been cold, really cold, for over a week and have just today climbed above 40 F. I’m a sucker for the birds who are here during the winter, especially if I’m suffering from the extremes. So I’ve been religiously adding food to their feeder almost daily from the beginning of the cold snap. The sparrows are the most frequent visitors, with cardinals, juncos, and a few titmice and black capped chickadees every now and then gracing my presence. The feeder is just outside my studio window so it’s a constant distraction, source of entertainment, and for today, inspiration. I took pictures last week of the sparrows sitting on a distal limb to the side of the feeder, waiting their turn. They line up in a plump row, little balls of fluff. I’m not particularly a sparrow fan, but everybody’s got to eat. And they’re kind of endearing at this time of year, so round and fit so well with the browns, grays, and sepias of winter. I sketched out a composition and am in the middle of putting in the sparrows. The only one facing forward has come to life today. The background is a very direct wet-on-wet wash of French Ultramarine Blue, Indigo, Sap Green and Windsor Blue with a tiny touch of Permanent Rose. While it was drying I added a strategic sprinkle of sea salt for effect. Look for the little sparkley circular flares as the taletell sign. Come back tomorrow for another progress report. Signs of Autumn Besides changing from Daylight Savings Time, there are a number of signs in Lower Town that Autumn is here. Grass is cut only sporadically these days, the leaves are falling faster than I can keep track, and a lot of people have decorated their yards for Halloween or Thanksgiving. I’ve seen pumpkins and fake spider webs. Lots of mums in bloom and a few orange lights strung across porches. The apartment house on Madison where Linda lives didn’t have its usual fright face in the windows. I missed that. But just down the street from me Rex and Anita have festooned the entryway into their yard at the hedgerow with an arch of cornstalks and a bright little pumpkin that almost goes unnoticed as it cowers by the base of the arrangement. I thought it would be an interesting composition to focus on the dried stalks to show how something so drab can actually have its own beauty from light reflections and the fun curves that come with the drying process of the corn plant. The pictures I took showed both the structure and the stalks up close. Today’s painting encompasses a part of the arch and the lonely pumpkin in shadow. He’s sporting a little dappled light from the sun peeking through the hedges. Rex and Anita’s Watercolor on paper 5.5″ X 4.5″ Contact me for purchase Never Say Never “I never use cobalt blue.” I owe this post to Bill, who I said that to today as I looked at one of his small watercolors that he does regularly, “Like candy,” he said. The sky in that particular painting was a wonderful soft blue gray that looked like he’d swiped a piece of the real thing. I’d stopped in for a visit at his studio after I took a picture of the pot of geraniums on his front porch. It seemed only right to at least have a word. Since the subject of the day’s painting came from the Renzullis it made sense to use cobalt blue for the background, Bill as my inspiration. But I wanted the saturated blue that you get with full strength, which is what I used. With the flowers being the main attraction I wanted just color in the background for them to bounce off of. A little sprinkle of sea salt while the blue was drying gave some interesting effect. To keep things consistent, I decided to use the cobalt for the pot as well, adding some burnt sienna to form a warm gray. I did that in several layers, and I’m loving the effect. Actually, the whole painting was really fun and quick, with some surprises along the way, having not used cobalt blue for so long I’d forgotten how wonderfully it combined with the sienna. I can see I’m going to be adding cobalt blue back onto my palate more regularly. Thanks, Bill. Watercolor on paper 5.5″ X 4.5″

Today, we’ll talk, once again, about taking bright photos- even when working with limited light sources. Looking at a lot of my own images, you might think that the space where I shoot is really bright and taking pictures is a breeze. Nothing could be further from the truth. I actually struggle at times quite a bit, because of how dark our home is. I don’t have big windows or bright roomy spaces, so I gotta work with what I’ve got. Few things that helped me the most: knowing how to work with the natural light that’s available to me by bouncing and diffusing; recognizing the best times during the day to shoot and getting familiar with Photoshop. Good lighting is the key and natural light is ALWAYS the way to go. Remember that light is the single most important thing in photography. Here’s what you need to do: find the brightest spot in your home- like a big window or even a door (with the door, you’d obviously open it to let the light in, unless it’s a glass door, like in my case). Time of day when you take your photos actually matters quite a bit too. After you find that bright spot, observe it during different hours of the day and get familiar with it. I personally get the best light in the morning and early afternoon. In late afternoon hours, the sunlight is a bit too harsh and bright and I have to deal with a lot of shadows. If you have no choice but shoot during a time of the day when the sun is very harsh, you can easily diffuse it. To prevent those harsh shadows and contrast, tape a blank, white piece of paper on your window or place it between your subject and your light source. You can also use a light curtain. Here are the results of diffusing the light: wihtout-diffuser Before diffusing the light. with-diffuser After diffusing the light. Before you setup for your shoot, take a good look at your light source and study it. Where is it coming from? Is it soft? Is it harsh? If it isn’t bright enough, open the window or the door. If the sunlight isn’t too strong you can even go outside. Once you understand how to work with your light, taking brighter photos will become much easier. Once you understand how to best position your objects and work with your light, you might want to learn how to reflect it as well. This is especially important if you have light coming only from one source/side. This is exactly the case for me- the light comes in only from the right side (usually, depending on how I setup). This means that the light doesn’t “spread” evenly across my image- that’s when a reflector and a white cardboard usually save the day. This is what my usual setup looks like (keep in mind that yours might be different): photography-setup Here you can see that this alone makes a difference in the way this image looks. Both images are unedited and were shot with the same settings. ISO 160 f/2 Shutter speed 1/125: Your settings obviously play a big role here. I highly recommend that you get to know your camera and shoot manual (this post explains all manual settings in more detail). Your aperture controls the amount of light that travels through the lens into the film plane and it’s indicated by the f-number. The aspect of an f-stop can be a bit confusing, because as the f-stop decreases, the opening increases. For instance, an f-stop of f/1.8 will open the lens a lot wider than an f-stop of f/5.6. In other words, f/1.8 will let in a lot more light than f/5.6, the smaller the f-stop, the wider the opening, the brighter the image and the shallower depth of field. Higher ISO settings will produce brighter images- but don’t go overboard as high ISO settings can create digital noise and turn your images grainy. Shutter speed controls the duration of exposure, meaning, it controls the speed at which the curtain (camera shutter) opens and closes. All this means is that it controls how long the light is permitted to enter your camera. Once you know how to work your triangle exposure (aperture, ISO and shutter speed) you’ll be able to tell your camera exactly how to behave as your light situation changes. Last, but certainly not least, is the part of editing your images. My images improved SO much when I started editing them in Photoshop. The great thing aboutPhotoshop these days is that you can get a monthly subscription for about 10 bucks a month. I was a little hesitant about the subscription at first, mainly because I believed Photoshop to be very difficult to use. It’s actually pretty straight-forward and while it can be a bit overwhelming at first, it’s totally worth getting familiar with. There are so many helpful tutorials out there, and I personally love editing my images in Camera Raw. I’d also definitely recommend that you shoot in RAW format- that way you’ll have more control over your images. Here’s what my editing process looks like. I open my image in Camera Raw in Photoshop. My images open in Camera Raw automatically, but you can open them in Photoshop and from there go Filter->Camera Raw Filter. Here I adjust exposure, clarity, highlights, shadows, etc. Sharpening and noise reduction. Adjusting Tone Curves. Final image. Before finishing up, I adjust my white balance (I always try to do this even when my settings were great) and lastly, I resize my images. tips-for-taking-bright-photos Final product. When it comes to editing in Photoshop, you definitely have to play around a little with different settings and see what works best for you. There are hundreds of different ways of doing things, but I think that editing images in Camera Raw is one of the easiest ways of going about it. The best thing you can do is learn how to work with your light. Look where the shadows fall, use a reflector to even out that light and a diffuser to minimize any shadows. If you’re working with a DSLR, get to know your camera! This will give you a huge advantage. tips-for-bright-photos Leave a Reply
