Podcasts about contemporary design

Spring art week just wrapped in New York City. Known for its extravagant floral displays and signature oysters and champagne, TEFAF is the fair with a vibe. This year, 91 exhibitors from 13 countries presented everything from antiquities to modern and contemporary art and design at the stately Park Avenue Armory. There's a real sense of passion here— dealers are eager to share the stories behind their works. Which brings us to today's episode, recorded live at the Thrill of the Chase panel with three very different cultural omnivores who personify Tefaf's ethos which span centuries and styles. Jeanne Greenberg Rohatyn‘s gallery Salon 94, has long blurred the lines between art and design. Housed in a Beaux-Arts townhouse on the Upper East Side she has presented everything from Rick Owens furniture to the recent Kennedy Yanko solo exhibitions. Adam Charlap Hyman, co-founder of Charlap Hyman & Herrero, brings a sweeping vision to interiors, furniture, architecture, and opera sets. He also curates, most recently Glass Subjects at R & Company which is currently on view. Alexandra Cunningham Cameron, Curator of Contemporary Design at the Cooper Hewitt, began her career in literature before turning to storytelling through objects. Her work explores symbolism, inclusion, and cultural memory. Together, they explore what makes an object irresistible. Is it beauty, rarity—or the story it tells? In this conversation, Artnet Studio's William Van Meter dig into the thrill of discovery, the elusive “X factor,” and how great objects help shape layered narratives.

Our last podcast in Australia was with the lovely Alison Jackson and Dan Lorrimer. We featured their story in Ed.3 of the We Are Makers Magazine. We were so delighted to finally meet in person in Braidwood where they live and work. Alison Jackson and Dan Lorrimer are metalsmiths, partners in both life and business. Known for their shared love of working with their hands, they often describe their roles as "Dan does big metals, and Alison does small metals," though their world of making is much more intertwined than that. Alison's background is in traditional silversmithing and jewellery, while Dan is trained in contemporary sculpture, tool-making, and machining. Together, they run Ferro Forma, a metalsmithing workshop specializing in handcrafted, small-batch edition objects for both individuals and homes. The name "Ferro Forma" reflects their craft, with "Ferro" meaning ferrous or iron, and "Forma" representing form. This name captures the essence of their work, as everything they create or shape begins with iron. Whether it's the tools they use or the materials they employ, iron serves as the foundation that makes their craft possible. WANT TO SUPPORT THIS PODCAST?

Hear how this popular crop is helping craft a more sustainable future in Mexico. What do corn, craft, and Mexico have in common? The answer to this question comes in the form of Totomoxtle, a project and materials created by designer Fernando Laposse in collaboration with the village of Tonohuixtla. On view through July 7 in the exhibition Life Cycles: The Materials of Contemporary Design, Totomoxtle is an example of how good design can do more than please the eye—it can offer new pathways to preserving cultures, supporting local communities, and bringing balance to an ecosystem that has been exploited for far too long.  For this Earth Month edition of the Magazine podcast, we sat down with Laposse to discuss the origins of his Totomoxtle project and how corn is helping build a more sustainable future for people and planet.

For decades, graphic designers have been introduced to typography by Ellen Lupton's book, Thinking With Type. It was certainly a staple in Aarron's courses when he taught graphic design. It's now in its third edition, with loads of new content. It's worth noting, the layout of each page of this book is beautiful and entirely designed by Ellen herself.  We chat with Ellen about what's new in this edition of her book, and how people other than designers can use it. We also go through some rapid-fire questions about the fundamentals of typography, and origins of some of the terminology like points, leading, kerning, italics, and more. Whether you're new to typography, or a seasoned pro, you'll learn something from this conversation. Bio Ellen Lupton is a graphic designer, curator, writer, critic, and educator. Known for her love of typography, Lupton is the Betty Cooke and William O. Steinmetz Design Chair at Maryland Institute College of Art. Previously she was the Senior Curator of Contemporary Design at Cooper Hewitt, Smithsonian Design Museum in New York City and was named Curator Emerita after 30 years of service. *** Visiting the links below is one of the best ways to support our show: Methodical Coffee: Roasted, blended, brewed, served and perfected by verified coffee nerds

In this episode of Citizens Climate Radio, listeners hear stories, insights, and innovative approaches to tackling climate change. From the unique perspective of a climate change comedian who marries humor with serious environmental advocacy to the empowering tales of youth activism at the global COP28 summit, this episode showcases diverse methods of engagement and action. Highlighting the importance of resilience, space for mental and emotional health, and the groundbreaking work of package-free shopping, it will inspire you while providing you with practical guidance.  A Climate Change Comedian? Brian Ettling shares his compelling journey from a park ranger to an influential climate change comedian, a story that encapsulates the essence of turning gloom into bloom. With seventeen years of experience as a seasonal ranger in the majestic landscapes of Crater Lake National Park and Everglades National Park, Brian shares how a simple yet profound question about global warming from a park visitor sparked a drastic shift in his career path and life purpose.  “Excuse me, all-knowing ranger,” a visitor said. “I have a question.” I smiled, humbly curious and certain I had the answer. “What's happening with global warming in the Everglades?” Wait. What?! I knew nothing about global warming, and visitors hate when park rangers tell you, 'I don't know. Brian spent time researching the question and was shocked by what he discovered.  The information I learned scared me. What the (bleep)! Because of climate change, sea level was expected to rise at least three feet in Everglades National Park by the end of the 21st century. The sea would swallow up most of the park and nearby Miami since the highest point of the park road is less than three feet above sea level. UGH, I hate you, climate change! This pivotal moment led him to deeply research climate change, eventually inspiring him to merge his passion for environmental advocacy with his unique sense of humor. An amateur video on YouTube led to two national television appearances on Comedy Central's Tosh.0. Daniel Tosh introduced America to the goofball who became the Climate Change Comedian.  Brian's narrative is a vivid testament to the power of individual transformation and the role of creativity in addressing serious global issues. He illustrates this by recounting defining moments in his journey, and he invites us to experience the journey complete with silly sound effects and a musical score.  Brian Ettling is a dynamic climate change communicator from Portland, Oregon, with a deep history of engagement with Citizens Climate Lobby (CCL). Over the years, he has worn multiple hats within CCL, including legislative liaison, co-chapter leader, and Missouri State co-coordinator. His dedication is evident in his attendance at nine CCL international conferences in Washington, D.C., where he served as a breakout speaker. Additionally, Brian has contributed his insights at the Canadian National CCL conference, showcasing his unwavering commitment to climate advocacy. For a complete transcript and more, visit https://citizensclimatelobby.org/blog/podcast/episode-92-theres-something-funny-about-climate-change/ Resilience Corner Tamara Staton explores the nuanced relationship between space—both physical and emotional—and climate advocacy. Tamara emphasizes the importance of creating space for rest and reflection to enhance effectiveness in climate activism. She illustrates this with personal anecdotes, suggesting, "When I create space, I enable presence and perspective... Creating space widens our window of tolerance, allowing us to respond with grace, ease, and courage to the challenges we face." She underscores the critical balance between passionate activism and the need for self-care to sustain long-term engagement in climate work.

It exemplifies sustainable shopping by offering a wide variety of bulk goods, from flour to laundry detergent, all without disposable packaging, presenting a compelling model for reducing single-use plastics and living one's environmental values. Damon Motz-Storey is an active climate advocate and the Oregon Chapter Director of the Sierra Club, dedicated to promoting sustainable practices and environmental conservation. In other Good News, Peterson Toscano highlights two innovative climate change exhibitions in New York City museums. At the Museum of Modern Art (MoMA), Life Cycles: The Materials of Contemporary Design showcases the intersection of design and sustainability, featuring Solar Ivy, a system of small solar panels resembling leaves that generate energy from sunlight and wind. Additionally, the Climate Museum in SOHO focuses entirely on climate change, currently featuring “The End of Fossil Fuel," and encourages visitors to engage in actionable steps toward environmental advocacy.

Siblings Crystal and Rico Worl have been making art together in Juneau, AK since they were children, and as adults, not only are they thriving as professional artists, they also co-own a successful online business, Trickster Company, whose mission is to promote innovative Indigenous art. Members of the Tlingit and Athabascan clans, Crystal and Rico continue to explore the cultural traditions of their heritage, studying at length with master craftsmen and artists, and the formline style prevalent in the Pacific Northwest lies at the heart of their practice. However, whether using new technology in their art or applying traditional design to everyday objects from basketballs to playing cards — Trickster Company is currently featuring the “Cards Against Colonialism: Western Expansion” set — they remain committed to keeping Indigenous art a living, breathing and evolving cultural touchstone. The scope and reach of their work continue to expand. In July of 2021, the U.S. Postal Service issued the Raven Story stamp bearing a Rico Worl design, and in the last year Crystal has painted two enormous murals – one in Anchorage, the other in Juneau — that with striking vibrancy counteract a long tradition of whitewashing Alaska's history.In this interview with Pier Carlo Talenti, Rico and Crystal delve into the many ways they are working and playing together and apart to ensure that all Alaskans, as well as the millions of visitors to the state, learn to celebrate the value of authenticity.https://crystalworl.com/https://ricoworl.com/https://trickstercompany.com/

John discusses Neighborhood Venture's newest acquisition, and the vision for its future.

This episode originally aired June 28, 2017. — In the final episode of my June series on my professors, I talk to the co-director of MICA's MFA graphic design program Ellen Lupton. In addition to her work at MICA, Ellen is the Senior Curator of Contemporary Design at Cooper Hewitt, and a prolific author of notable design books like Thinking with Type, Type on Screen, and Graphic Design: The New Basics. In our conversation, recorded a few days after graduation, I talk with Ellen about her own career as a designer, writer, curator, and educator, how she thinks about writing for emerging designers, and how the design discourse has changed over the course of her career.

There is perhaps no one on the planet with a bigger-picture view on the impact of design—in all of its manifestations—than Paola Antonelli. As the Museum of Modern Art's senior curator of architecture and design as well as its director of R&D, Antonelli consistently expands notions and definitions of what might be considered “design,” and shows how, in no uncertain terms, design connects to practically everything we see, touch, hear, taste, smell, and do. With great passion and energy, she is the ultimate clear-eyed booster of this wide-ranging realm she holds dear. Antonelli's most recent output—the book Design Emergency: Building a Better Future (Phaidon)—is not only an outgrowth of her prolific 28-year career at MoMA (during which she has worked on related projects including the 2005 exhibition “Safe: Design Takes on Risk,” the 2015 book Design and Violence, and the 2019 Triennale di Milano exhibition “Broken Nature: Design Takes on Human Survival”), but also a result of the pandemic. During lockdown in spring 2020, Antonelli, together with the British design critic and writer Alice Rawsthorn, conceived and launched @designemergency on Instagram, a still-ongoing feed that highlights voices central to key global issues, all of them related to improving the world through design. The effort is yet another example of Antonelli's talent for synthesizing a vast array of provocative projects, designers, products, and ideas; bringing them to the forefront; and giving them much-needed attention. On this episode, Antonelli talks with Spencer about time as a frustration, the myth of speed, the importance of going with the flow, and the many design emergencies constantly taking place all around us.Special thanks to our Season 5 sponsor, L'ÉCOLE, School of Jewelry Arts.Show notes:Full transcript[04:15] Museum of Modern Art[04:15] @curiousoctopus[05:38] Objects of Design: From the Museum of Modern Art[06:09] “Machine Art”[12:54] “Humble Masterpieces”[15:44] “Mutant Materials in Contemporary Design”[17:42] “Design and the Elastic Mind”[25:14] “Neri Oxman: Material Ecology”[29:34] Design Emergency[29:34] Alice Rawsthorn[33:43] @design.emergency[45:18] “Items: Is Fashion Modern?”[47:02] The 3,000-Year History of the Hoodie[51:03] “Safe: Design Takes On Risk”[01:04:45] Design and Violence

Discovery now.Invention follows later —in Design or Zen.* * *One more point about process in general may be worth noting before considering the processes of discovery and invention in particular. Like most words, “processing” can be used as a euphemism. The last message on the evening news was that this night was going to be the worst of the current invasion of Ukraine by the Russian military. Turning on the news this morning, the first station was talking about sports; the second about methane emissions from raising cattle. I did not dwell for long on the sports commentary, feeling that familiar frisson of disorientation that comes with the sense of living in two different worlds. Imagining rockets and tank shells landing in my cozy neighborhood in Atlanta, while somewhere on the other side of the world, local attention is raptly focused on today's soccer game.The methane discussion, while at least focused on a real problem, that of global warming, was not that much more rational. It hinged around the idea of raising so many million head of grass-fed versus grain-fed cattle, in order to reduce the amount of methane in cow “burps.” The additional cost associated with the former, according to the rancher and self-proclaimed scientist being interviewed, does not result from the manner of feeding, but that of “processing” the cattle. The fact that factory-farming allows for geographically compact organization of feed lots close to processing plants — the slaughterhouse, in more honest words — is the sum total of the problem definition, at least from the perspective of the interests committed to producing a grass-fed product to meet the demand of the market for beef. His proposed solution is to invest in building processing plants close to the pastures. The rest of the dialog was all about adding things like oregano and kelp to the diet of the cattle, as serious proposals to solve the problem.By this time, a similar sense of losing my bearings from a focus on sports made me slightly dizzy. That these “products” to be “processed” are living beings was not once mentioned, nor the processing called out for what it actually is. Needless to say, any suggestion around reducing the consumption of beef, an obvious solution to the problem, crossed no one's lips. This may be taken as yet another lively example of the tragedy of the commons, so common to our times, but from a deadly bovine perspective. Bossy is not likely to ever die of natural causes, whatever the method of feeding. Shout out to Big Mac.Picking up the thread of how Design thinking may be related to Zen, as parallel processes of discovery and invention, the notion that what we call Buddhism or Zen originally had to be discovered or invented, may qualify as a radical departure from how most religions are regarded as originating in revelation, i.e. from a creator god. Then the apostolic imperative becomes convincing others of the validity of the claim, through performance of miracles, proof of prophecy, et cetera. In other words, propagation of the faith does not rely upon individual converts experiencing some such epiphany for themselves, with the notable exceptions of the recognized saints, but only believing the gospel, as interpreted by its messengers, prophets and priests.In Buddha's case, he took the contrarian approach that his claims depended on no one else, no authority from God — the Hindu Brahman or Ishvara — and no reliance on doctrine or scripture handed down from antiquity. This has to be the ultimate in personal responsibility, though Buddha did not claim exclusivity. Anyone could accede to the same revelation. There are stories of his performing miracles, but we have to take them with a dollop of… honey. Video recording was not ubiquitous in those days.In a very real sense, Zen calls upon us to rediscover and/or reinvent the findings of Buddha for ourselves, then draw our own conclusions from our own experience, and base any recommendations upon that body of evidence, rather than from belief in what others tell us. Thus the record of Buddhism amounts to testimony of the ancestors, rather than holy writ. But it does not stint on the potential implications, for their times and social milieu, but also for ours. Zen is always contemporary.Design, on the highest levels of the discipline, operates on a similar premise. Each of us is trained and encouraged to redefine the problem before us, rediscover its underlying raison d'etre, and to reinvent the best approach to resolving it. We cannot rely upon solutions from the past, merely adapting details to the current realities. Usually, any invention worthy of the name requires a wholesale revision of multiple dimensions of the process. Contemporary Design is an amalgam of the old and the new.One of the main points I am trying to make in this present series is that the principles of both Design and Zen are ever-present in all dimensions of living, from the most trivial and mundane on the personal level, to the most crucial on social, natural and universal levels. We have clever sayings, like “Don't sweat the small stuff” and “It's all small stuff.” But the small stuff is not disconnected from the big stuff, as it turns out.A mundane example: Spreading pine straw on our walkways, I realized that I used to do it differently. I would drop clumps of straw on the ground and then come back and spread them with a rake. But I noticed — discovered — that the professional lawn and garden crews in the neighborhood shake the clumps so that thin layers of straw fall on the surface, more like the natural process in a forest. Which results in a smoother, more tightly-woven layer on the ground. Since the walkways are underlaid with poly sheeting, which helps to suppress weeds without using chemicals, the straw tends to separate when it rains, revealing open areas of exposed poly. Adding more straw, I simply fill those spots in. But I do it by shaking thin layers over each other. It takes a little longer, but totally eliminates the secondary operation of raking. Which is a Design principle. Any time you can eliminate a secondary task, you do. You invest more time on the frontend but make it up on the backend.I think zazen functions similarly. The more time we invest in the beginning, when the going is pretty rocky and we do not have much experience under our belt, the more patience we can practice with our initial resistance, the less we will have to deal with in future, generally speaking. Exceptions include major changes in living patterns, such as adapting to changing working or living situations, which entails an overabundance of stress, and the sledding in zazen proportionately rougher. Midlife crises would provide the poster-boy for this category of circumstance. However, if we did not have the advantage of doing zazen, the tough times might be even tougher. When the going gets tough, the wise get sitting.References to “Zen bondage” made elsewhere are only partially tongue-in-cheek. We are in bondage already, if only to our own limited imagination. Bondage is known to have a comforting effect, along with its more unseemly connotations. Babies in swaddling cloths, cats in tight boxes, and dogs in calming sweaters are examples. We do have a blanket recommendation in Zen circles, to wear something comfortable and unrestricting, such as sweatsuits, or the newer stretch athletic clothing. But there is something akin to Victorian modesty in the mix as well. Clothing that is too revealing, or overly colorful, displaying distracting messages, such as some tee-shirts and sweatshirts, are generally discouraged, at least in public meditation sessions. In private, you are on your own. Which is where my suggestions of experimenting with support systems such as slings and strapping come into play.You should feel free, in the privacy or your own home, to sit zazen like no one is watching. And to play with the gear, the costumes and equipment. We sure know how to have fun, as my mother used to say.Again, Buddhism was inventive, and a process of discovery, from the very beginning. Buddha taught his followers to “Do thou likewise,” essentially. Understanding, I am sure, that no two instances of human practice-experience can possibly be the same. So I do not believe that the design intent of his instructions was for us to try to emulate his life, either as a young prince, or as the sage of the Shakya clan, to the letter. He encouraged all to find the middle way between the extremes, as he had done. Knowing that no one of those three paths would be the same, for any two people in history.What Buddha handed down was like a jazz chart, containing the basic chord progression and melody. But as the musician performing the piece, we are expected to improvise, and fill in the blanks. Claude Debussy, whose “Claire de Lune” is the first and only piece of sheet music I ever taught myself to play on the piano, said “Music is the space between the notes.” John Cage, the modernist American composer and music theorist, said something similar, and backed it up with his “4'33'',” a piano concert consisting of four minutes and thirty-three seconds of silence from the piano. The audience and other ambient sources provide the sound.Similarly, the ancestors of Zen were quite willing to improvise as needed, while grounding their teaching and practice on the legacy of their forebears, in particular their immediate progenitor. The lineage of Zen is a bit like that of music and the arts. Where, for example, the great classical and jazz greats had students and followers who inherited their mastery and philosophy, but then extended it into the next generation, allowing it to evolve with the changing circumstances of the time. Including developments in the technology of instrument-making. This universal process finds perhaps its clearest manifestation in Zen, where the instrument is this very body-mind, with which we have been born.Of course, any position of authority in any field can be misused and abused. A robe can hide a lot of sins, whether in the form of a Catholic priest, a choir master, an Oxford don, or a Zen master. Mastery of a method to the degree that it impresses others is no guarantee that one has mastered oneself. We hold to the truism that we do not master Zen. Zen masters us. And we cast a wary eye on the outer trappings of the tradition for these reasons, as well as the inescapable fact that the overt, outer form of the profession or guild, school or sect, creates a recognizable boundary between oneself and others. While such a division can be useful and is perhaps necessary — as the dividing boundary between the stage and the audience — over-emphasis on appearance and protocol can add to confusion. Such as implying that unless you, too, get a robe, your practice of Zen is not genuine. The Zen robe has a wonderful draping effect, of anchoring you to the ground, or on the cushion, and imposes no restriction on the legs arrayed in the lotus posture. But it can become a kind of sanctimonious symbol. As the old saying has it, there is no stench of holiness in Zen.Please consider the design of your Zen practice creatively. Do not be afraid to experiment. When you take this intentional approach, any imagined failure is not possible in reality. All malfunctions, whether of costume, gear, or monkey-mind, are temporary setbacks, from which you will recover quickly if you but pay attention and learn from them. And make any necessary adjustments. Or simply try something different. In this way, you engage your practice as YOUR practice. You broke it, you own it.* * *Elliston Roshi is guiding teacher of the Atlanta Soto Zen Center and abbot of the Silent Thunder Order.

Well-known early on for their signature blown glass Bags, the subsequent cast glass work of John Littleton and Kate Vogel provided a new outlet for complex contemplations, questions and reflections. In this dramatic departure from their lighthearted Bags, faces and hands are used in various poses and combinations to explore states of mind, relationships, and even spiritual themes. Cast arms with hands in amber glass hold a brilliant jewel-cut form, which seems to spread its glowing light to all that surrounds it. Use of multiple techniques by Littleton and Vogel reveals an intimate understanding of their medium, and the execution of each work reflects artists deserving of their place at the top of the contemporary glass movement. Not only visually stunning, their sculpture allows the viewer to create a narrative, each piece a captured moment in a story of the viewers' choosing. They state: “As we focus on each form, we see possibilities for the next, and our vocabulary of form and ideas expands. We bounce ideas back and forth, we build on each other's concepts, and we learn from each other's insights. Collaboration brings our individual sensibilities together to generate something neither of us would have made alone. “ Littleton and Vogel are nationally renowned American Studio Glass Movement artists who work and reside in Bakersville, North Carolina. Their creative partnership began in the mid-to-late 20th century, when they began collaborating on their first glass pieces in 1979 after meeting as art students at the University of Wisconsin–Madison.  Creating sculptural blown and cast glass works and installations that speak to the importance of their relationships to one another, their family, and their community, Littleton and Vogel currently exhibit their works in Between Us: A Retrospective Exhibition of Work by John Littleton and Kate Vogel at the Bergstrom Mahler Museum of Glass in Neenah, Wisconsin. On view now through February 13, 2022, the exhibition is accompanied by a perfect bound 84-page publication with essays by Casey Eichhorn, exhibition curator, and Susie J. Silbert, Curator of Postwar and Contemporary Glass at the Corning Museum of Glass.  “This retrospective exhibition highlights important works, milestones, and innovations in their shared careers,” says Casey Eichhorn, Curator of Collections and Exhibitions,” – all while tying their experiences and influences back to John's father, Harvey Littleton, an American glass artist, educator, and one of the founders of the American Studio Glass Movement.”  Harvey Littleton, whose influential work will also be shown in the exhibition, is often referred to as the “Father of the Studio Glass Movement.” In his role as an educator, he initiated the first hot glass program offered by an America University at the University of Wisconsin–Madison and promoted the idea of glass as a course of study in university art departments in the United States. Littleton's students went on to become the dominant figures in the American Studio Glass Movement while broadening the study of glass art and university-level hot glass programs throughout the U.S.  John Littleton states: “Harvey introduced glass as a medium for artists. The Toledo workshops were dad's idea. He had help from Norm Schuman and later Dominic Labino. The workshops wouldn't have happened without him. He certainly had help developing technique, but more than anyone else he saw the possibility of putting glass in the hands of artists. The industrial model was designers who worked on paper passing the design to the factory worker who had little expressive input. There were artist craftsmen and women who worked with glass individually, but dad pursued the idea of glass being available to art students. The early years were a time he pushed to get glass into universities to expand glass's creative and expressive potential. He saw the need for many artists working with glass for the growth of the field.” Littleton and Vogel's work has appeared in several group exhibitions including the Sculpture Objects and Functional Art (SOFA) in Chicago and the Smithsonian Museum of American Art in Washington, D.C. Their glass works can also be seen in private and public collections in North America, Europe, and Asia. Locations include the William J. Clinton Presidential Center and Park in Little Rock, AR; the Museum of Contemporary Design and Applied Arts in Switzerland; Glasmuseet Ebeltoft in Denmark; the Corning Museum of Glass in Corning, NY; The Mint Museum, Charlotte, NC; High Museum of Art, Atlanta, GA. Features on their work have appeared in various publications—such as The Washington Post, The New York Times, Christian Science Monitor, and CBS Sunday Morning.  Littleton and Vogel state: “Choice, chance, circumstance, seductive qualities of the material…a little bit of all of the above. We stay with glass because it feels right. The process allows us to collaborate, start to finish. Glass is versatile, and we see endless possibilities in it and through it. In our work we strive to make something that is a personal expression of our thoughts and experiences.”  

Two Design Oracles impart knowledge regarding what the difference is between Modern Design (also known as Mid Century Modern) and Contemporary Design.  They explain the importance of understanding the correct language and difference between the two as a way to help clients understand what they want out of their design team and how to correctly express it.

In questo audio il prezioso incontro con Toni Capuozzo e Rossana Orlandi. Toni Capuozzo giornalista e scrittore pluripremiato, inviato di guerra e autore televisivo e teatrale. Rosanna Orlandi imprenditrice fondatrice e titolare delle galleria Rosanna Orlandi, definita dalla stampa internazionale una delle 8 Gallerie più autorevoli al mondo. Con Toni Capuozzo e Rossana Orlandi parliamo della fortuna di un lavoro che appassiona. I media devono seminare dubbi. La comunicazione è difficile quando si vuole andare contro corrente, e provare a diffondere pensieri nuovi, che propongono nuove prospettive. Il vero lusso è essere se stessi. L'intervista è nel progetto Contemporaneamente a cura di Mariantonietta Firmani. Il podcast pensato per Artribune. Incontri tematici con autorevoli interpreti del contemporaneo tra arte e scienza, letteratura, storia, filosofia, architettura, cinema e molto altro. Per approfondire questioni auliche ma anche cogenti e futuribili. Dialoghi straniati per accedere a nuove letture e possibili consapevolezze dei meccanismi correnti: tra locale e globale, tra individuo e società, tra pensiero maschile e pensiero femminile, per costruire una visione ampia, profonda ed oggettiva della realtà. Rossana Orlandi è uno spirito ribelle imprenditrice di successo fonda la galleria Rossana Orlandi.Giovanissima conosce conoscere Coco Chanel nel suo atelier, studia alla scuola interpreti: va in Irlanda e Inghilterra a perfezionare l'inglese, poi moda alla Marangoni, e si specializza nella maglieria.

On this week's episode we caught up with friend of The Lighthouse, furniture and product designer Nada Debs. Coming from a lineage of Lebanese textile traders who settled in Japan at the turn of the century, Nada grew up with a sense of dissonance as one of the few Arabs/Muslims in Kobe. She chronicled her journey from booming 1980s Japan to Civil War Lebanon to Rhode Island and how each part of the journey influenced her designs, reiterating the importance of heritage and hybridity. Nada also shared her experience collaborating closely and exclusively with skilled craftsmen to produce her designs, and the inextricable link between craftsmanship and spirituality. [WhatsApp our team](https://wa.me/971585953034) if you would like to inquire about the Nada Debs 'Refraction' mirror collection which is sold at The Lighthouse, Dubai Design District.

Joshua Williams: Welcome back Sass. Who are we featuring this month?  Sass Brown: We're talking about Tonlé. They're a Cambodian brand that does a contemporary collection,  Joshua Williams: This is such an interesting brand, because they really are involved in so many different things. But at the core, they are a womenswear brand led by founders who are very activistic in terms of how to approach design and how to be part of the world as global citizens. Sass Brown: Absolutely.  Rachel Faller, who's the founder, she's based in California. The brand itself is produced and operated out of Cambodia, which is where she splits her time with. And she is very impressive in terms of, she really understands the place that the fashion system has played in neo-liberalism, colonialism, the whole sort of white savior type mentality. And she really is extremely conscious of that and sees her role as developing a brand and a company out of Cambodia as an honor; that she is able to give back, that she is able to enable the population, to show their capabilities instead of continuing a  rather long and messy past between the U.S. and Cambodia. So, she's very much aware of the role that she plays.  Joshua Williams: Can you talk a little bit about her design aesthetic, how she approaches her work?  Sass Brown: It's a very contemporary, wearable, easy wear collection. They're very relatable clothes. They are at a median price point, so they're quite accessible. A lot of the collection is made out of jersey, although they utilize a number of different techniques. One of the things that is really quite special about them is their focus on worker training. First of all, all their workers are full-time employees. They don't do piece work. They don't subcontract. They encourage their employees to train, to upskill, to learn, which is quite the reverse of your usual sort of workshops, factory setting, particularly in a place like Cambodia that does significant fast fashion production, where it's all about the de-skilling of workers and the underpaying of workers. She does the complete  reverse. She operates in a lean manufacturing model, which means workers work in a circle. They don't work in straight lines, looking at the back of the person in front of them. They're encouraged to learn new techniques, to try new machines. They are paid to up-skill They're encouraged to progress employment-wise towards managerial positions and so on. So it's much more of a humane model, or an ethical model of production, if you will. And in a country that's renowned for fast fashion and the reverse of that.  Read the full transcript at FCNewsBytes.com.

As regular listeners will know the idea behind the show is that I speak to a designer, maker, artist or architect about a material or technique with which they’re intrinsically linked and discover how it changed their lives and careers. However, every once in a while I mix the format up a bit and talk to someone who has an overview of the design world. This is one of those occasions.Paola Antonelli is senior curator at New York’s Museum of Modern Art in the Department of Architecture & Design, as well as the institution’s founding director of Research and Development. Over more than 25 years at the museum, she’s curated shows such as: Mutant Materials in Contemporary Design, Workspheres, and Design and the Elastic Mind. Most recently, she has been responsible for Broken Nature in Milan’s Triennale in 2019 and Neri Oxman: Material Ecology. She has lectured and given talks all over the world and picked up a fistful of awards, including 2020’s London Design Medal. In collaboration with writer Alice Rawsthorn, her latest project, entitled Design Emergencies, is a series of interviews on Instagram, which investigate design’s importance during the pandemic.In this episode we discuss: coping with the crisis at MoMA; why she co-created Design Emergencies as the virus took hold; falling into curating; the importance of rejection; creating the museum’s first-ever website; and how computer code is as fragile as ceramics.

placemakingpodcast@gmail.com Facebook-f Twitter Linkedin Hello and welcome everyone! Thank you for joining the show!I'm pumped to have a local developer on the show today! Omar Diaz started as an architect in Mexico City but wound up as a real estate developer here in Fort Worth, Texas. Omar's completed one project so far and he has already begun his second one.I love to highlight local developers on the show to share their stories to hopefully give excitement to others that may be interested in real estate development but might not feel like they are ready to make the leap. His story is truly fascinating and I think you will be inspired by his journey into development.Omar holds an engineering and master's degree in business administration with more than 18 years of experience in the fields of Architectural and interior design, construction, remodeling, and project management for residential projects. He was a founder and business partner of Area Arquitectos, a renowned Architectural firm for its outstanding high-end residential Contemporary Design. Bringing the highest construction quality and first-class attention to its sophisticated clientele in Mexico City for more than 12 years.Most recently, he acted as developer and general contractor of the May St. Condominiums in Fort Worth TX, a 12-unit residential development in the Near Southside. This was his first project in the developer role and showed him that he could be successful in development. Since then, he has begun the first phase of another group of townhomes also in the Near Southside.In this episode, we are going to discuss how Omar made the leap into development, a brief overview of his previous project and the current project he's working on, and the importance of having a strong team by your side for these type of projects. I am excited to share his story!As always, if you have enjoyed the show, please subscribe to the show, and share with your friends. There will be more exciting conversations on the show to come.So, without further ado, let's start the show!

"Many things inspired my works, but nothing inspired me more than the people that live and work in the space that I create. I strive to understand their aspirations, to realize their dreams, for they are the fuel that fires my imagination." - Hendra Hadiprana’s quotation from the book, The Aesthetic Journey of Hadiprana. After working for Budi Lim Architect for 2 years, Afwina Kamal (IG: @afwinakamal) received a scholarship for a Master of Architecture degree at State University of New York at Buffalo, with her final thesis, The Counterpoint in Music and Architecture. She earned the Summa Cumlaude & Chair's Award - Master of Architecture specializing in Design & Theory. Upon completion, Afwina remained stateside and worked as a full-time architect with Macon-Chaintreuil, Jensen & Stark (MCJS), a Rochester-Buffalo architecture firm in NY state. It was during this time she encountered Hadiprana's design influence through a client she was working with. Following her time in MCJS architect, Afwina returned to Indonesia and directly working for Hadiprana Design Consultant, that she has been working for the last 21 years. Her deep love for Indonesian culture and architecture is greatly influenced by the design philosophy from the late Pak Hendra Hadiprana's Unique, Eclectic and Contemporary Design. Listen in, as Afwina shares her mentorship under Pak Hendra Hadiprana and how his legacy continues to live.

The second ‘lockdown special’ episode of Material Matters features the excellent Sheridan Coakley. The entrepreneur cut his teeth as a modern furniture dealer before founding the iconic SCP – or Sheridan Coakley Products – in London’s Shoreditch during the mid-eighties. The manufacturer and retailer burst onto the nascent British design scene with pieces by Jasper Morrison and Matthew Hilton. In 1991 it produced the latter’s Balzac armchair, which has gone on to become a bona fide classic. Over the years the roll call of designers Sheridan has worked with includes: Konstantin Grcic, James Irvine, Michael Marriott, Donna Wilson, Rachel Whiteread and Reiko Kaneko to name just a handful. He has legitimate claims to be considered one of the most influential figures in British design over the past 35 years. In this episode we talk about his early days; swapping bubblegum cards with artist Eduardo Paolozzi; meeting Jasper Morrison for the first time (in quite surprising circumstances); setting up business in unfashionable east London; copying classics; the state of British design; oh, and the future of retail. So I hope there’s quite a bit to get your teeth into. (Please note this is a special episode made in really quite tricky circumstances, so the sound quality isn’t quite as good as normal.)

How do you nail down the definition of contemporary? Ask an expert like Suzanne DeRusha, president of Suzanne Kimberly Design. In this episode of Element Sessions, an Element Designs podcast, host Sean Heath explored the fundamental principles of creating successful contemporary designs with the noted designer. So, does contemporary design have a firm or fixed definition? Yes and no. “Modern and contemporary are often transposed or used together, and that’s because typically consumers don’t know the differences,” DeRusha said. “But the style itself is always changing. Trying to keep your finger on that pulse is like knowing what each manufacturer is thinking and who their innovative brains are.” That’s because ever-changing technology and functional engineering constitute a big part of contemporary style and design, DeRusha explained. Cabinet hardware function has come a long way with soft-close hinges and lift-up doors, for example. These are functional upgrades but represent a new sleek aesthetic that is prominent in contemporary design. In this episode, DeRusha and Heath discussed the old debate of form versus function in design and the newer question of whether advances in materials drive design, or do design requirements cause material evolutions. “We are living and designing in a time that all the elements are merging in perfect harmony,” DeRusha said.

In the final episode of my June series on my professors, I talk to the co-director of MICA's MFA graphic design program Ellen Lupton. In addition to her work at MICA, Ellen is the Senior Curator of Contemporary Design at Cooper Hewitt, and a prolific author of notable design books like Thinking with Type, Type on Screen, and Graphic Design: The New Basics. In our conversation, recorded a few days after graduation, I talk with Ellen about her own career as a designer, writer, curator, and educator, how she thinks about writing for emerging designers, and how the design discourse has changed over the course of her career.

Pearl Lam’s life is a work of art itself, a singular fusion of East and West cultures. Born in an English colony, she went to Shanghai for the first time in 1992 and it is there she “became Chinese.” Truly a unique personality, Pearl bemoans China’s turn from “one of the most fascinating places in the world where there was a surprise around every corner,” to the “new Modernity” in which communication between China and the West has been lost in translation.  Despite all the contradictions, Pearl has become one of the leading taste makers and dealers in the contemporary Chinese are scene. In this podcast, recorded in the Sky Lounge at Upper House in Hong Kong, you’ll see China through the eyes of an of-the-moment visionary whose fast-moving conversation can be exotically charming.

After contemplating the defining nature of our urban landscapes it’s time to consider the role of personal transformation. Transformation design is a human-centred, interdisciplinary process that seeks to change the behaviour and form of individuals, systems and organisations in desirable and sustainable ways—often for socially progressive ends. The Transformation leg of MRelay explores how we can apply transformation design skills in non-traditional settings, which often leads to new and original design outcomes. Transformation designers aren’t always ‘designers’—can each of us play a role as moderator, participant or co-creator? Transformation was hosted by Rose Hiscock, director of Science Gallery Melbourne. Speakers included Ramona Koval, broadcaster, writer and editor; Professor Rob Adams, director of City Design and Projects at the City of Melbourne; Mary Portas, founder of creative communications agency Portas Agency; Simone LeAmon, Hugh Williamson curator of Contemporary Design and Architecture at the National Gallery of Victoria; Cameron Bruhn, editor at Architecture Media; Oluwaseyi Sosanya, designer, engineer and inventor of the 3D Weaver; and Justine Clark, architectural editor, writer and researcher, and founding editor of Parlour.

Dan Mall founder and design director at SuperFriendly joins Gary Rozanc to discuss the ever changing role of interactive designers from simply designing visuals to not only needing to understanding an organization’s goals, but help identify new goals beyond visual design and sell the clients on that vision. The conversation also goes into details on the approach of traditional four-year university level graphic design education vs. apprenticeships, and the necessary skills, from software to business, that students will need to be industry ready.

The aim of this paper is to analyse the consequences of this change, in other words, the examination of the ways, the strategies, the semiotics and the social uses of the objects which conform the so-called camouflage for peace. Both World Wars in the 20th century testified the birth and evolution of military camouflage design and its main variants: Disruptive Pattern Material (hereinafter DPM), which aimed to make invisible land armies and army air corps, and Dazzle Painting, which was devoted to blur war ship shapes. This type of war design was probably inspired by pictorial innovations of artistic avant-gardes from the beginning of the 20th century, i.e. Cubism, Fauvism and Vorticism. Modernist painting provided military camouflage with a civic origin. DPM and Dazzle Painting attracted a wide audience imagination since they were invented and practised for the first time during the years of the Great War. There was a sudden transfer from war to peace scenarios, from military backgrounds to civil ones. The aim of this paper is to analyse the consequences of this change, in other words, the examination of the ways, the strategies, the semiotics and the social uses of the objects which conform the so-called camouflage for peace. In this manner, we will analyse recent examples (end of 20th and beginnings of 21st centuries) of DPM and Dazzle Painting applications to the following fields: fashion and textile design, interior design, industrial design, architecture and contemporary art. Such analytical revision will be done by exploring in what sense and to what extent the recontextualisation of this type of design entails its rethematisation.

Maison Margiela's Spring/Summer Paris 2024 Haute Couture collection show delivered a haunting jolt that is hard to forget. Whether you loved the show or hated it, it was a moment. And that moment–which will undoubtedly gown down in fashion history–was also packed with references to the history of fashion itself. Alexandre Samson, Curator of Haute Couture from 1947 to Contemporary Design at the Palais Galliera in Paris joins us to decode the collection.April and Cassidy also address John Galliano's troubled history of anti-semitism and his restitutive work with the Anti-Defamation League who have publicly lauded the designer's "arduous work to change his world view."Maison Margiela Artisanal 2024 collectionGivenchy: The Complete CollectionsWant more Dressed: The History of Fashion? Our website and classesOur InstagramOur bookshelf with over 120 of our favorite fashion history titlesOur Sponsors:* Check out Rosetta Stone and use my code TODAY for a great deal: https://www.rosettastone.com/Support this podcast at — https://redcircle.com/dressed-the-history-of-fashion/exclusive-contentAdvertising Inquiries: https://redcircle.com/brandsPrivacy & Opt-Out: https://redcircle.com/privacy
