From Colin Firth’s existential crisis in John Lautner’s 1949 Schaffer Residence (in Tom Ford's A Single Man), to investigations of a family in Ang Lee's The Ice Storm slowly falling into chaos in New Canaan – home of the Harvard Five’s domestic modernist experiments – the perceived sterility of the modern movement has frequently been used by the movies as an aesthetic shorthand for tragic protagonists.⁣⁣

Made Up: Design's Fictions⁣ Available at www.draw-down.com⁣ ⁣ Designed by Benjamin Critton Art Dept. At a time when “fake news” is part of our daily cultural lexicon, Made Up: Design’s Fictions explores lies, fantasies, and other un-real scenarios as tools of design. Through essays, interviews, and narratives by Bruce Sterling, Fiona Raby, Sam Jacob and other significant voices in the field, this volume questions the initial discourses around “design fiction”—a broad category of critical design that includes overlapping interests in science fiction, world building, speculation, and futuring. Made Up: Design’s Fictions advances contemporary analysis and enactment of narrative and speculation as an important part of practice today. With essays, interviews, and narratives by: Julian Bleecker, Benjamin H. Bratton, Anne Burdick, Emmet Byrne, Stuart Candy, Fiona Raby, Tim Durfee, Sam Jacob, Norman M. Klein, Peter Lunenfeld, Geoff Manaugh, Tom Marble, m-a-u-s-e-r, Metahaven, China Miéville, Keith Mitnick, MOS, Susanna Schouweiler, Bruce Sterling, and Mimi Zeiger⁣ ⁣ #MadeUp #DesignsFictions #FionaRaby #MimiZeiger⁣ ⁣ ⁣ https://www.instagram.com/p/Bym7dXinEqR/?igshid=g87w7fvk3iuc

TONIGHT, Tues, 10/23! Artbook at Hauser & Wirth Los Angeles and Inventory Press present the launch of ‘Dimensions of Citizenship: Architecture and Belonging from the Body to the Cosmos,’ the official catalogue of the US Pavilion at the Biennale Architettura 2018 in Venice. Come hear Shannon Harvey, Jennifer Scappettone, Amanda Williams, Liam Young & Mimi Zeiger tonight from 6-8PM! The event brings together the voices of ‘Dimensions of Citizenship’ curators, writers, designers and artists for a timely discussion about the relationship between design and belonging today. This topic is especially poignant in a city like Los Angeles, which thrives on its rich immigrant community, but also carries dark histories of segregation and presently faces issues of inequality and displacement. @inventorypress @artbookhwla @awstudioart @sciarc @liam_y @mimizeiger @venice.architecture.biennale #shannonharvey #jenniferscappettone #amandawilliams #liamyoung #mimizeiger #dimensionsofcitizenship https://www.instagram.com/p/BpSVVqmHA6M/?utm_source=ig_tumblr_share&igshid=2xqznadocw79
