    RISD

    Low-Budget, Modular Graphic

    System

    This, is a superlike!

    We had just founded the AIGA RISD student group

    to organize projects, workshops, and events at the

    Rhode Island School of Design, and we needed a

    distinctive yet flexible system for printed matter.

    As graduate students, our time and budget were

    limited, so everything had to be quick to lay out

    and inexpensive to print.

    Our solution was a modular system of letter-size

    sheets printed on a black-and-white laser printer.

    Tiled together, these pages can be reconfigured

    into posters and flyers at a variety of scales;

    folded or cut in half, they become event

    programs.

    The system managed to avoid the usual

    hackneyed imagery of No. 2 pencils, grid lines,

    Salton Sea

    Desert Cantos

    Richard Misrachs dedication to the Southwests

    desert at first seems to echo a landscape

    documentary tradition more than the social-

    documentary work with which he began his

    and overprinted process colors. Prominent

    typography draws attention to the typeface

    choices, which are explained in small captions.

    Brightly colored paper and tape reveal the

    divisions between units, while the AIGA and RISD

    logos sit at the edges, holding the modular system

    together. By making our design decisions

    transparent to the viewer, the project is a self-

    reflexive example of graphic design in action. It

    shows, not tells.

    (Dinah Fried and Andrew LeClair)

    Iceland

    David Hockney's Sketchbook

    Another very nice link from Gioia Guerzoni/http://www.facebook.

    com/groups/WHOAMInotebookchallenge/group.

    This time we have the link to get to see a very

    nice sketchbook by David Hockney. BetweenIceland, London and Yorkshire. In June / July

    career. Yet Misrachs lifetime project, the Desert

    Cantos series, with its individual segments divided

    up between the terrain, events (the landing of a

    space shuttle, military testing), floods, and fires,

    has as much to do with social issues as with mans

    presence within nature.

    Pachino

    Thanks toLucia Giulianofor this nice present. A

    Googleview of the fields where the Pachino

    tomatoes are grown.

    Cherry tomatoes of Pachino (this is what I'vefound):

    Pachino tomatoes are rightfully famous, especially

    in Italy and Europe, and so treasured that a few

    years ago in their home country they were grantedIGP statusa designation similar to the D.O.C.

    designation for wines, in this case certifying that

    at least part of the production of a product is in a

    particular area.

    For the pomodori di Pachino, this area is in the

    province of Siracusa on the island of Sicily known

    for its year-round mild weather, few frosts in the

    winter and spring, long glorious days of sunshine,

    rich soil, and just the right amount of salinity in

    "Edward Hopper kept meticulous records in

    journals over a lifetime of his paintings, makingcareful drawings of each work before it left the

    its irrigation wateror, in other words, perfect

    tomato growing conditions.

    The Pachino was first cultivated in 1925 but didnt

    become popular until the 1970s; since then, it has

    been the tomato of choice for cold pasta dishes

    and salads, and is even used on pizza. In fact, if

    you do an Internet search for recipes using fresh

    tomatoes, particularly in Italian, youll find many

    that specifically call for the Pachino.

    superstar in China, where her latest designs

    radiate out through architecture schools and

    studios across the country. On a recent trip to

    Beijing, 15,000 artists, architects and other fans

    swarmed to a talk she gave for the opening of the

    futuristic Galaxy SOHO complex -- just one of 11

    projects she is designing across the country.

    But the appeal of the Prtizker Prize winner's

    experimental architecture, especially since the

    unveiling of her glowing, crystalline Guangzhou

    Opera House two years ago, has expanded so

    explosively that a contingent of pirate architects

    and construction teams in southern China is now

    building a carbon copy of one of Hadid's Beijing

    projects.

    Thawan Duchanee

    Bandaam Museum (AKA Black House or Black

    Temple) in Muang, Chiang Rai. Created by

    Thailand national artist Thawan Duchanee.

    The grounds include nearly 40 small black housesmade of wood, glass, concrete, bricks, or

    terracotta in various unique styles and design

    scattered around the temples area.

    The cluster of houses accommodates Thawanscollections of paintings, sculptures, animal bones,

    skins, horns, and silver and gold items from around

    the world.

    Several of the houses exhibit Balinese andBurmese architecture and art dating back to the

    Ayutthaya period. The artist uses bones as a

    source of inspiration to paint. There are also

    various kinds of baskets and drums from many

    regions and countries on display at Baandam.

    Ferdinand VII. This journey materially injured his

    annual visit to the place of his birth, when he

    experienced a relapse. He proceeded to Venice,

    and expired there at the age of nearly sixty-five.

    His disease was one which had affected him from

    an early age, caused by the continual use of

    carving-tools, producing a depression of the ribs.

    The most distinguished funeral honors were paid

    to his remains, which were deposited in the

    temple at Possagno on 25 October 1822. His heart

    was interred in a marble pyramid he designed as a

    mausoleum for the painter Titian in the church of

    Santa Maria Gloriosa dei Frari in Venice, now a

    monument to the sculptor.

    Cabaret Voltaire

    Cabaret Voltaire was the name of a nightclub in

    Zurich, Switzerland. It was founded by Hugo Ball,with his companion Emmy Hennings on February 5,

    1916 as a cabaret for artistic and political

    purposes. Other founding members were Marcel

    Janco, Richard Huelsenbeck, Tristan Tzara, and

    Jean Arp. Events at the cabaret proved pivotal inthe founding of the anarchic art movement known

    asDada.

    same exact place where XXth Century art was

    born, one wonders where are the places where

    XXIth Century art is now sprouting out...

    Manhattan, New York

    Here the original manuscript for Jack Kerouac's On

    the Road, hammered out on a roll of teletype

    paper over an amphetamine-fuelled three weekburst in 1951.

    Wikipedia explains:

    Kerouac often promoted the story about how inApril 1951 he wrote the novel in three weeks,

    typing continuously onto a 120-foot roll of

    teletype paper.

    Although the story is true per se, the book was infact the result of a long and arduous creative

    process. Kerouac carried small notebooks, in

    which much of the text was written as the

    eventful span of road trips unfurled.

    On the Road.

    The First Version.

    George Maciunas / Fluxus Foundation Inc.

    Learning Machine

    Compared to many artist colleagues of his

    generation, Maciunas education was far-reaching.

    He had studied art, graphic design, andarchitecture at the Cooper Union School of

    He started working on the first of several versions

    of the novel as early as 1948, based on

    experiences during his first long road trip in 1947.

    However, he remained dissatisfied with the novel.

    Inspired by a thousand-word rambling letter from

    his friend Neal Cassady, Kerouac in 1950 outlined

    the "Essentials of Spontaneous Prose" and decided

    to tell the story of his years on the road with

    Cassady as if writing a letter to a friend in a form

    that reflected the improvisational fluidity of jazz.

    Art in New york (1949-52), architecture and

    musicology at the Carnegie Institute of Technology

    in Pittsburgh (1952-54) and, finally, he gained a

    sound knowledge of art history at the Institute of

    Fine Arts at New York University (1955-60),

    focusing on European and Siberian art of the mass

    migration period.

    As was the norm for American students at that

    time, Maciunas also composed schemes and lists of

    data and facts, which granted him a better

    overview of greater developments. Maciunas was

    an exceptional learning machine.
