Textfield · 03/02/10mosaicism.org by Daniel Ingroff, 4 March — 1 April 2010
Reception on Thursday, March 4th from 6-7:30pm at the library
A work inspired by photographs and paraphernalia taken from the Art department’s “picture files” — a unique collection of newspapers, magazine clippings and ephemera collected by librarians prior to the advent of the Internet. Made up of three distinct parts: a website, video and display, mosaicism.org investigates both digital and analogue forms of the “picture” by framing some of the aesthetic and emotional assumptions associated with these binaries.

Wee See is a collection of black-and-white animations built from basic shapes — to intrigue both child and parent. As vision develops slowly over the first months of life, Wee See provides surfaces of bold, well-defined artwork to engage a child’s curious mind to bring the screen (and their imagination) to life.

This was in my top 3 of last year, right next to “Letter to Robin Kinross” and “Siedlung”. Thanks, Jonas.
Harsh · 01/22/10Site hasn’t been updated in over four years, but, everything holds up. No B.S., just nitro.
Harsh · 01/22/10I have a soft spot for Vignelli design. It’s a bit Republican, sure, but, of the few distinctly American super firms, they feel like a lesser evil. This PDF booklet “describes the basic rules” of their work.
If anything, it’s a good primer on the bare basics of modernist-classical graphic design (start reading at page 34).

Harsh · 11/15/09The theme of the nineth issue of Here and There is HER LIFE. It deals with the various factors that make up the many waves in a woman’s life, such as working, becoming pregnant, giving birth. The colorful stories told by Elein Fleiss, Laetitia Bena, Yurie Nagashima, Miranda July, Midori Araki and Aiko Yamada, reflect each of their lives.

Though he is still crawling, 9-month-old Thurston Conder takes about 10 seconds to have the run of the house. It’s not that he’s exceptionally fast; he just doesn’t have that far to roam. Thurston shares 380 square feet with his mom and dad, Kelly Breslin and Ryan Conder, and a medium-sized mutt named Charlie.

The art world is now both socially professional and professionally social. Curators visit artists’ studios; collectors, dealers, and journalists assemble for a reception and reconvene later for dinner; everyone goes to parties. We exchange introductions and small talk; art is bought and sold; careers (and friendships) brighten or fade. In each situation, certain behaviors are expected while others are silently discouraged. Sometimes, what’s appropriate in the real world would be catastrophic in the art world, and vice versa.
Making these distinctions on the spot can be nerve-wracking and disastrous. So we asked ourselves: What is the place of etiquette in art? How do social mores establish our communities, mediate our critical discussions, and frame our experience of art? If we were to transcribe these unspoken laws, what would they look like? What happens when the rules are broken? Since we didn’t have all the answers, we politely asked our friends for some help.

“That’s part of my problem with writing around graphic design: it uses such grand, revolutionary, pompous rhetoric, and in most cases they just don’t fit the subject matter. I guess it’s because that sort of rhetoric—ideologies, systems, strategies, which seems to ape the language of war and social change—comes from a particular sort of art or architecture writing. When it gets filtered to graphic design, which is mostly everyday and ephemeral, it just doesn’t fit right. I find it a bit embarrassing That’s why most design writing feels like self-justification, which is just dull.”
