| Exhibition Design by Nendo |

http://feedproxy.google.com/~r/jeansnow/feed/~3/ynRKGprodtw/ http://jeansnow.net/2009/11/13/exhibition-design-by-nendo/ 
I first previewed it a while back, but here’s a better look at the exhibition design by Nendo created for last month’s “Kanazawa World Craft Triennial 2010 Pre-event” at the 21st Century Museum of Contemporary Art, Kanazawa. Photos are by the always amazing Daici Ano, pretty much “the” name in architectural photography.
The design for a exhibition of 62 craft objects by 50 artisans at the 21st Century Museum of Contemporary Art, Kanazawa, in western Japan. The objects’ materials range widely, including glass, wood, ceramics, metal and cloth. A variety of techniques were used in their creation, and they range widely in size. For the exhibition design, then, we chose the opposite strategy. Small mass-produced home-use greenhouses give a sense of order to the space and provide visitors with a flat perspective from which to view the exhibition, allowing the rich variety of the objects to stand out.

The greenhouses are made completely of glass, and each comes with its own shelving and pre-installed wiring for lighting. They are inexpensive, perfect for small budgets, and are easily assembled with only a screwdriver. It took only one day to assemble all 62 of the boxes. They can be broken down and stored after the exhibition. This not only eliminates nearly all waste from the exhibition fixtures, but also allows for possible reuse during the the Kanazawa World Craft Triennale 2010.

Sondre Lerche - "I Guess It's Gonna Rain Today" |
] |
The heat is no more! It's begun to rain here in Jakarta and my office is back to being a freezer!
(Come to think of it, for someone who dislikes rain, I sound pretty upbeat now that the rainy season's finally here.)
Let's see... I'm planning to write my reviews for This is It and Fame, two films that I've watched this past week. But not only work has been crazy, I also have a Sherlock Holmes feature to write, an Abridged Script to create and an article to translate. And I have to organize the New Moon event. You've read all of this before, but I'd just like to point them out once again because this week I've been feeling the pressure of all those things combined weighing down on me.
And I'm knee-deep in writing the Bookstore Fic's Sequel. So, you see, I'm still not able to write my thoughts on Michael Jackson's final masterpiece and the movie that's supposed to be a remake of the original High School Musical.
Speaking of the job, my boss just spent the past half an hour listening to me talk about my Merchandising Woes. It's been a while since I properly ranted to him, so it's good to get some things out of my system. Now, the question is, do I get to go to Frankfurt Book Fair next year or not? I don't think he's convinced I can handle that Book Fair yet. Well, I wouldn't mind going to the London Book Fair (I sooooo wouldn't mind) just for the book fair experience, but Frankfurt sounds so much more exciting.
I'm yapping about all that because it's been confirmed that my end-of-year trip to Sweden is canceled. I couldn't get a decent-priced ticket, and the timing is just all wrong, because our promotion dates have been moved around and I can't get away from the amount of clusterfuck that's bound to happen when December comes. *cue outburst* BOOOOO!!! I WANT TO GO TO GAMLA STAN AND VISIT THE SCIENCE FICTION BOOKSTORE!
I'm going to eat something good for dinner. And a rainy day like this merits curling up under the blanket after dinner, with a good book, and a hot cup of chocolate drink. So now I take my leave to do all that.

| Enroll at Temple Now |

http://feedproxy.google.com/~r/jeansnow/feed/~3/GaKknQqYikE/ http://jeansnow.net/2009/11/12/enroll-at-temple-now/ 
For the upcoming semester starting in January at Temple University Japan, Ian Lynam wil again be teaching his “All About Typography” (TYP101) class, and also introduce a new one, “Image Making” (IMA101). Below, details on both classes.
Image Making (IMA101)
In the contemporary world of graphic design, designers must be able to not only convey information, but do so in ways that are engaging and entertaining. Image Making teaches strategies for creating unique visual form to incorporate into graphic design projects. A hybrid of manual, analog, and digital processes including drawing, collage, manipulating found imagery, pattern-making, and typographic assemblage will be utilized to help students with the goal of the class: for each student to create a 100-page book of a range of form-making styles that will greatly benefit their professional portfolios.
The class will work together to explore different formal and conceptual strategies for creating new and exciting visual illustration. This class will appeal to graphic designers interested in both print and web, illustrators, fine artists, and students with an interest in editorial illustration. It will also appeal to designers and illustrators working within a signature style, as the strategies utilized will help loosen up professionals, push boundaries, and create new work.
This class is a studio class but will require a bit of homework for visual research (collecting source material and light reading).
All About Typography (TYP101)
An in-depth look at typography (designing with fonts) for both beginners and experienced practitioners. This class is a working examination of Western typography including lectures on type history, type classification, and contemporary practice.
Practical exercises, as well as in-class critiques will help broaden students’ understanding of typography practically and critically
The class will conduct projects to explore typographic styles, learn correct typesetting practices, and increase design acumen. The class will host guest lectures by some of Japan’s top graphic designers. The class is Mac-based, but will apply equally to PC-based environments.
