NYC Field Trip

On October 12, 2021, Design 3A went to NYC to scour the galleries and bookstores.

Times Square was our first stop – we walked around and took pictures of the screens we liked best for our project. We then walked to Printed Matter to take a look at various books made by different artists and designers. Then we took a train down to Tribeca to look at a taxidermy gallery featuring taxidermy pets. There were many good doggos, kitties, and squirrels there and they all looked alive (but they weren’t.) sad sad…

many good doggos….:’)

After that, we went to a number of different types of galleries! There were many notable artworks, such as a gallery with furniture everyone could use and two other galleries where we peered at it from outside a small window. There was truly a unique range of different types of presentations.

As a result of the class walking most of the trip, we were able to see a number of different types of installations and interesting things that we didn’t plan to see!

At the end of our trip we visited Champion Pizza to eat like kings and then we visited one last bookshop before departing our separate ways.

Thanks, Atif!!!

Publication as Memory, Memorial and Monument

Friday May 17
4:00 to 6:00pm
Reception following

Brooklyn Army Terminal, Building A, 140 58th St, Brooklyn

What kind of monument is a book? How do we memorialize people, places and ideas in the digital information age? In what ways do print and digital publications break down barriers between private and public memory?

In conjunction with the exhibition The Colossus of Rutgers, by Kara Walker and her cohort of Rutgers MFA students, this event explores publication as an aspect of art and design practice that enables understanding across varied knowledge fields and connection among communities. Participants will present and describe strategies against monumentality to highlight publication as a temporal, individual and/ or democratic act. Participants include Atif Akin, Marc Handelman, Bo-Won Keum and Adam Putnam; moderated by Gerry Beegan.

Kara Walker’s Lecture Poster

On April 19, 2016 Kara Walker, Tepper Chair in Visual Arts, delivers this special lecture in honor of the graduating Class of 2016. The poster is designed by Anna-Sophia Vukovich. She says,

“I took Kara Walker’s black cut-paper silhouettes as inspirations for the poster. I created my own cutout type, using this as the main element for the design. I wanted it to be both bold and simple, reflecting on the strength of politics in her work.”
