 Actions: What You Can Do With the CityOn view October 16, 2009 through March 13, 2010, the next exhibition at the Graham Foundation challenges visitors to think differently about how to walk, play, recycle, and garden in order to reshape the city.Actions: What You Can Do With the City features seemingly common activities such as walking, playing, recycling, and gardening that are pushed beyond their usual definition by the international architects, artists, and collectives featured in the exhibition. Their experimental interactions with the urban environment show the potential influence personal involvement can have in shaping the city and challenge fellow residents to participate. It highlights distinct actions including projects related to the production of food and urban agriculture; the planning and creation of public spaces to strengthen community interactions; the recycling of abandoned buildings for new purposes; the appropriation of urban sites into terrain for play, such as soccer, climbing, skateboarding, or parkour; the alternate use of roads for walking or rail lines as park space; the design of clothing to circumvent urban barriers against loitering or resting on benches; and many others. event ends Mar 13, 2010 United States view on map more design events more info www.gra...

 Portland Art Museum Opens China Design Now: A Multi-Sensory ExperienceThis October, the Portland Art Museum opens China Design Now, a multi-sensory experience reflecting the new Chinese urban environment and encapsulating the scale, speed, and energy of change in China today.Visitors will embark on a journey of discovery through China, focusing on the graphic design, fashion, interior design, and architecture emerging from three vibrant and rapidly evolving cities. Organized by the Victoria and Albert Museum, London, China Design Now reveals how designers, architects, filmmakers, and artists have transformed Chinese design from imitation to innovation, leading to the rise of a new design dynasty. The approximately 100 designers whose work is featured in this exhibition have, collectively, defined a new aesthetic that reinterprets traditional Chinese forms, is inspired by global youth culture, and responds to the dreams and desires of a rising middle class. Their entrepreneurial spirit is reflected in the runway trends, street posters, photography, interior design, architectural projects, advertising, and consumer products presented in the exhibition. design directory Portland Art Museum > Art Museums added by Levent OZLER |
