Kustību izrāde „Balta kleita” ir vēl viens Latvijas Kultūras akadēmijas aktiermākslas 4. kursa studentu diplomdarbs, kurā piedalās piecas topošas aktrises. Pirmizrāde jau šīs nedēļas nogalē – 30. un 31. maijā. Kustību izrāde tapusi iedvesmojoties no rakstnieces Ingas Ābeles tāda paša nosaukuma stāstu krājuma. izrādes horeogrāfiju un režiju veido Elīna Gediņa. Adele, Aiga, Alise, Linda, Malda – piecas sievietes un pieci stāsti. Šīs sievietes nav pasaules notikumu epicentrā, viņu dzīves neizšķir globālus procesus. Viņu ikdiena rit klusās pilsētu nomalēs un laukos, taču zem šīs mierīgās ārienes slēpjas bagātīga emocionālā pasaule, bezdibenīgs dziļums. Izrāde pievēršas sievietes ikdienas esībai – dzīvei, kas bieži paliek nemanāma. Elīna Gediņa saka: “Inga Ābele raksta par šķietami vienkāršām sievietēm, bet viņas atklāj sarežģītu dzīvi. Tie nav skaisti stāsti, drīzāk skumji un neglīti. Ikdienišķi. Tajos nav nekā liela, bet ir viss. Tēlu rīcība, izdarītās izvēles nav grandiozas un nozīmīgas, bet rada sajūtu par grieķu traģēdijas vērienu. It kā nekas nenotiek, nav dinamisku darbību, bet vienlaicīgi sagrūst cilvēks.” Horeogrāfe E. Gediņa teātrī aktieriem cenšas radīt tādus apstākļus vai uzdevumus, lai rastos izpratne, ka arī šķietami mazas lietas – kā tu stāvi, pagriez galvu vai sakrusto rokas, var būt ļoti nozīmīgas un ietilpīgas, lai atklātu tēla raksturu vai sajūtu, lai varētu saprast – kas tu esi par cilvēku. Mazkustīgums vai bezdarbība var būt iedarbīgāks eksistēšanas veids nekā ekspresīva darbība. Izrādē piedalās topošās aktrises Velta Birze, Santa Breikšs, Polina Čerņenoka, Tatjana Gurēviča un Elizabete Milta. Izrādes scenogrāfiju, kostīmus, video un gaismas veidojusi māksliniece Krista Vindberga (Dzudzilo), muzikālo noformējumu – Miķelis Putniņš. Izrādi producē Kristīne Freiberga un LKA Producēšanas un mārketinga departaments.

Discover the story of Marget Larsen, a trailblazing designer whose iconic Christmas boxes, bold typography, and fearless creativity shaped mid-century advertising and design in San Francisco right as the psychedelic / counterculture era was budding, with industry insights from guest Sean Adams, previous AIGA President, and Dean at Art Center._______Support this podcast with a small donation: Buy Me A CoffeeThis show is powered by Nice PeopleJoin this podcast and the Patreon community: patreon.com/womendesignersyoushouldknowHave a 1:1 mentor call with Amber Asay: intro.co/amberasay_______Sources:Book — Baseline ShiftDesign Observer Article by Sean AdamsCommunication Arts FeatureBook — Earthquakes, Mudslides, Fires & Riots: California and Graphic Design by Louise SandhausAbout MargetMarget Larsen was a trailblazing designer and art director who transformed mid-20th-century advertising with her bold, unconventional approach. Born in San Francisco in 1922, Larsen began her career at I. Magnin, where she discovered her passion for typography and lettering while taking night classes at the California School of Fine Arts. She rose to prominence as the art director at Joseph Magnin, a trendsetting department store, where her iconic Christmas boxes turned gift packaging into collectible works of art. Larsen later joined the boutique agency Weiner & Gossage, where her groundbreaking ads combined witty copy with daring typography, earning national acclaim. From designing bread wrappers to creating fundraising sweatshirts for Beethoven enthusiasts, Larsen's fearless creativity knew no bounds. Despite her immense contributions, Larsen's name remains largely forgotten in design history, though her work continues to inspire with its playful wit and timeless innovation. She passed away in 1984, leaving behind a legacy that shaped advertising, packaging, and graphic design as we know it. About SeanSean Adams is a celebrated designer, author, and educator whose work has shaped the design industry for decades.

Kādos acu problēmu gadījumos ir jāgriežas pie oftalmologa un kādos - pie optometrista? To noskaidrosim raidījumā Kā labāk dzīvot. Skaidro oftalmoloģe Anda Balgalve un optometriste Aiga Švede. Oftalmologs ir ārsts, kas veic acu izmeklēšanu, redzes asuma un tā korekcijas noteikšanu, acu slimību konservatīvu un ķirurģisku ārstēšanu. Optometristi ir primārās aprūpes speciālisti, kas nodarbojas ar profesionālu acs un redzes sistēmas aprūpi, ieskaitot redzes optisko defektu korekciju, optisko materiālu izplatīšanu, acu slimību diagnostiku un aprūpi, kā arī redzes sistēmas rehabilitāciju. "Ja cilvēks īsti nezina, kas viņa kaiš, tad jebkurš ceļš, ja vēršas pie acu ārsta [oftalmologa] vai optometrista, būs pareizais, jo ir jāmeklē risinājums," norāda Aiga Švede. "Ja atnāks pie optometrista un tur būs tikai runa par brillēm, nekur nebūs vairāk jādodas." Tikai redzes novērtēšana mūsdienās jau vairs nav redzes pārbaude. Anda Balgalve iesaka, ka labāk būtu, ja recepti brillēm izrakstītu specialists, kas strādā optikā, tas var būt gan optometrists, gan oftalmologs. Un turpat arī vajadzētu pasūtīt brilles. "Ideālais variants būtu, tajā pašā vietā, kur izrakstīta briļļu recepte, arī brilles pasūtīt, jo attiecīgā optika atbild līdz galam, ja ir problēmas. Vissliktākais variants, vienā vietā izrakstīta briļļu recepte, otrā vietā optikā nopirkts ietvars, kas patīk cilvēkam, trešā vietā aiziet un izgatavo šīs brilles un šeit neviens par visu neatbild," uzskata Anda Balgalve. "Godīgi katrs ir savu izradījis. Cilvēks beigās ir nelaimīgs, viņš ir samaksājis lielu naudu un viņš jūtas slikti."

Is there an organization for the exhibition field? A new initiative is picking up steam. The exhibition community in the US, some say, has recently gone from having “nearly one” professional organization — to none at all. That's because of the unexpected 2023 dissolution of NAME, the National Association for Museum Exhibition, a group within the American Alliance of Museums (AAM). But now a new effort is rising at SEGD, an international organization headquartered in the US. It takes the form of a PPG, or professional practice group, specific to exhibition practitioners. How can everyone in the field access professional development and mentorship? What is the role of networking in a professional community? Should there be better standards for the field?Cybelle Jones (CEO of SEGD) and the cofounders of the new PPG, Steven Rosen (President and Creative Director, Available Light), and George Mayer (Retired Vice President of Business Development, Kubik Maltbie), join host Jonathan Alger (Managing Partner, C&G Partners) to discuss “A New Home for the Exhibition Community.” Along the way: how listeners can get involved, the role of local meetups, and what a survey revealed that people in the field most urgently need.Talking Points:ElevateAdvocateEducateStandardizeSocializeCelebrate How to Listen:Making the Museum: https://www.makingthemuseum.com/podcastApple Podcasts: https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/making-the-museum/id1674901311 Spotify: https://open.spotify.com/show/6oP4QJR7yxv7Rs7VqIpI1G Everywhere: https://makingthemuseum.transistor.fm/ Guest Bios: Cybelle Jones is CEO of SEGD, a multidisciplinary community creating experiences that connect people to place. SEGD is a non-profit member organization focusing on education, innovation and design excellence by designing more equitable, sustainable, and user-centric environments. Prior to joining SEGD, Cybelle led numerous acclaimed design projects during her 25+ year tenure as Principal of G&A, including the National WWII Museum, the International Spy Museum, and the U.S. Olympic and Paralympic Museum. Cybelle is actively involved in various boards and has spoken on the field of experience design at AAM, the V&A, FIT, AIGA, AIA and MuseumNext. Steven Rosen, President and Creative Director, Available Light: Merging performance lighting techniques with traditional non-theatrical environments launched Steven's career and his founding of Available Light over 30 years ago. From Museum exhibits to immersive architecture to trade shows, the fun never stops—it helps that he works with some of the planet's most talented lighting aficionados. The originality and grand scale of Steven's award-winning designs are evident in many one-of-a-kind award-winning projects as: The Neural Climber interactive at the Franklin Institute, Ocean Hall for the Smithsonian Museum of Natural History, the International Spy Museum in DC, and Chicago MSI's U-505. He is passionate about supporting the lighting community. George Mayer first joined Maltbie Associates in 1986 and was responsible for identifying new business opportunities, proposal writing, presentations, contract negotiation, and oversight of project management teams to ensure satisfactory fulfillment for permanent and traveling exhibits. From 2002 to 2009, George worked as the founding director of a new museum fabrication business for Art Guild, Inc., a nationally active trade show exhibits producer. In 2010, George rejoined Maltbie (now Kubik Maltbie, Inc.) as Vice President of Business Development.

She made major innovations in the field of functional materials and at the same time she expanded the possibilities of single weavings and individual artworks. She was also an adventurous graphic artist who took printmaking technique into previously uncharted territory.Not only was she a pioneering textile artist, and printmaker, but she was an educator whose work redefined the boundaries between craft and fine art. She may arguably be THE person responsible for helping the masses see textile as art, not just craft. She studied at the Bauhaus, taught at Black Mountain College in North Carolina, where she continued to push the limits of weaving, experimenting with unconventional materials and techniques. Her book On Weaving (1965) remains a seminal text in textile design. About Marian BantjesMarian's Books:I WonderPretty PicturesMarian Bantjes (b. 1963) @bantjes is a Canadian graphic artist who is known for her signature maximalist style. Her intricate ornamentation creates texture and illusion, and challenges the minimalist boundaries of traditional graphic design.Her clients include Pentagram, Saks Fifth Avenue, Print Magazine, Wallpaper* , WIRED, Creative Review, The Guardian (UK), The New York Times, AIGA, TypeCon, and more.Her career spans 3 stages: she started in the 80s as a book typesetter for a publishing company and then from there she became partner at a small design firm in Canada, working on brand identity and communication designs.In 2003 Marian decided to embark on the work that has brought her international recognition and fame as a world-class visual designerHer work has an underlying structure that frames its fluid nature and she has an impressive way of interweaving word and image.She says "throwing your individuality into a project is heresy" but she has built a career doing just that, as her signature style is unmistakable. In 2007 she released Restraint, a typeface that integrates her style of ornamentation to be used as shapes and borders.Marian has been honored with several awards over the years and her work is now part of the permanent collection at the Cooper-Hewitt National Design Museum. ____View all the visually rich 1-min reels of each woman on IG below:Instagram: Amber AsayInstagram: Women Designers Pod

Throughout this season of the series I've been speaking with leaders who have used their design superpowers in community and civic leadership roles, and in this episode I continue that thread in my conversation with Richard Hollant.In 1988 Richard founded CO:LAB as a design consultancy with a focus on brand design and product launches. Over time the firm moved from its original home in Boston, to Hartford, Connecticut, and has shifted its focus from brand design to social impact work, engaging with community and cultural organizations in Hartford and across Connecticut. CO:LAB has won awards from PRINT, HOW, and Cause/Effect among others, and Richard has been featured in Business Weekly, Communication Arts, and Fast Company. A longtime leader in AIGA, the professional association for design in the US, Richard was appointed Commissioner of Cultural Affairs for the City of Hartford in 2017, and during the Covid pandemic he was tapped by the Mayor of Hartford to lead the strategic reopening of the arts, culture, and recreation throughout that city. In 2019, Richard founded Free Center—a collection of rehabilitated community spaces providing free access to arts, culture, trauma healing, and advocacy programming in forgotten neighborhoods across Connecticut.

In this episode of the AIGA Design Podcast, host Lee-Sean Huang interviews Jenn Stucker, Associate Professor and Chair of Graphic Design at Bowling Green State University. They discuss the importance of community engagement in design, the expanding definition of design as a profession, the role of design communities like AIGA in career development and standard setting, and more. Key Topics and Themes: Community Engagement in Design: Stucker shares her experiences incorporating community engagement into her design practice, including co-founding the AIGA Toledo chapter and leading community-based projects like “You Are Here” and “Sit & Tell.” Expanding Definition of Design: The conversation explores how design is more than just creating visually appealing products. It's about improving everyday lives through experiences and behaviors. Design Education: Stucker discusses her approach to teaching design, emphasizing the importance of developing mindful individuals who can engage with the social, cultural, and technological world. Design Leadership: As one of the first designers to complete the AIGA Professional Design Certification Program, Stucker shares insights on design leadership and the value of professional development. The Value of Design Communities: The episode highlights the importance of design communities like AIGA in fostering collaboration, providing resources, and advocating for the value of design. Design and Cultural Change: Stucker emphasizes the role of design in creating cultural shifts and making a positive impact on society, even through incremental changes. Design and Higher Education: The discussion touches on the lack of high-level administrators with design backgrounds in higher education and the potential for designers to contribute to solving challenges in this sector. Ethics in Design: The episode briefly addresses the ethical considerations in design, particularly in the context of emerging technologies like AI. Learning and Growth: Stucker shares her ongoing learning journey through her Ph.D. studies and her participation in the AIGA Professional Design Certification Program. Additional Notes: Reflecting her family's cultural heritage, Stucker named her design practice Sisu Design, a Finnish word meaning “guts,” “tenacity,” or “resilience.” The episode references the “In the Round” speaker series at Bowling Green State University, which focuses on Native American and Indigenous speakers across various creative disciplines. Stucker shares a quote from Gloria Steinem, “Power can be taken but not given. It is the process of taking that's empowerment in itself.” The episode concludes with Stucker reflecting on her advice to designers: “Start small but think big.”
