Another week, another hit lecture from the folks at AIGA. Tony Brook and Adrian Shaughnessy (author of the indispensable, How to be a Graphic Designer without losing your soul) came to talk about their latest venture, UNIT EDITIONS a small publishing company and their first book: Studio Culture. Both very eloquent and generous with their knowledge. The book is more than just a collection of photographs of other people’s workspaces–it explores what it means to be a part of a studio, what different kinds there are and contains great insights from people who run them.

AIGA held a member workshop called Print to Web at the Museum of Art and Design (MAD). It was one of the better lectures this year–the speakers were well prepared (no rambling), lots of pertinent information was shared AND they even sent us a follow-up email with useful links and books to help us along. Awesome. After being thoroughly satisfied with the lecture, I still had some time to wander around the museum. Having seen the Paper show (SLASH, I highly recommend seeing it), I went straight to the new exhibition on the second floor and WOW. As soon as you get off the elevator, you will see a wonderful installation by the Japanese company NENDO. They have five or six of their Fade-out chairs on display, and for further drama, they covered the floor (approx. 12 x 8 ft) with white linoleum. Some hardworking (if woeful) interns stuck little white sticker dots that originate from the edge of the linoleum and spread out two or three feet. The effect is that of freshly fallen snow. And it was breathtaking

Paper seems to be all the rage. Below are some photos from the Black Dog Press book entitled Paper: Tear, Fold, Rip, Crease, Cut (available now) and from the Gestalten book called Papercraft Design and Art with Paper (due for release September 2009). Some of my favorite paper artists are in these pages, so check ‘em out when you have the chance.
