Kent State Architecture Proposals Unveiled

I admit, I didn't make it down to Kent to watch the proposals in person. I was thinking I could live stream it via the KentUtubevideo channel I posted earlier. I was able to see some images, mostly disjointed from the audio, with a whole bunch of hiccups, freezing and skips. About 5 sentences into Westlake Reed Leskosky's proposal I couldn't take the video player's horrible-ness and just gave up.

KentPatch did post some images that they received from the school regarding the proposals and I am trying to get in contact with folks about sharing the video link somewheres on the internets.

I don't have many comments (at this time) but I will say this, when illustrating a crit space in use, put the model on a table so that someone can actually see the damn thing from eyelevel, every time I see a model on the floor I question the entire design premise. Sure, it looks great for seagulls but what about the folks who have to interact with it. When I see something like that in an architect's proposal I get a little flustered. It just means that the designer who put these slides together missed a very important element in their design studio and I start to question everything. Over-thinking of schematic proposals is not a good idea.

That's a Pro-tip, write it down.

PS, I love being able to copy/paste lecture series with links and images and text and all that goodness instead of transcribing from some poster.jpg or pdf.

PPS, I hate iTunes, can't these things just be posted as a podcast I can listen to/watch on any device without having to log into iTunes (I'm still angry at iTunes from 2002 or so, I know it isn't rational but that grudge runs deep).

Sculpture Center Receptioni 2013.01.18: Justing Farris Braun + Jimmy Kuenle

JUSTIN FARRIS BRAUN: THE SWELLING HORIZON + JIMMY KUEHNLE: INFLATABLE WONDERLAND LABYRINTH OF JOY    Friday, January 18  Opening from 5:30-8:00 pm The Artist Talks: Jimmy Kuehnle at 6:15 in the Euclid Avenue Gallery The Artist Talks: Justin Farris Braun at 7:00 pm in the Main Gallery  Both Justin Farris Braun and Jimmy Kuehnle's installations have a strong physical impact that can leave the viewer surprisingly uncomfortable. Justin Farris Braun's dark work considers the apparently irreversible intersection of nature and the manmade, in both the physical reality of detritus across the American landscape and the overlaps of the patterns of nature and the grids of technology. Jimmy Kuehnle's bright, seemingly circus-like installations, which he makes to move the viewer "out of the humdrum of daily existence," can quickly take on a more personally problematic aspect as the viewer becomes active participant while negotiating his inflated spaces and forms. The exhibitions will be on view through February 23  JUSTIN FARRIS BRAUN: THE SWELLING HORIZON about the artist Braun holds an MFA from Ohio State University and a BFA from the Cleveland Institute of Art. HIs concept-driven work encompasses drawing, photography, sculpture and installation. With exhibitions nationally and internationally, he has most recently collaborated with landscape architect Sarah Cowles for Artisterium 3 in Tbilisi, Republic of Georgia, and produced site specific installations on the north shore of Lake Superior and in Sao Paulo, Brazil.  Image: Justin Braun, they see themselves from the inside, 2012, mixed media installation. Courtesy of the artist.  JIMMY KUEHNLE: INFLATABLE LABYRINTH WONDERLAND OF JOY about the artist Jimmy Kuehnle researched public art and sculpture as a Fulbright Graduate Research Fellow in Japan after completing an MFA at the University of Texas at San Antonio. His recent work features public performance treks through rural and urban cities in the US including Chicago, Detroit, Austin, St. Louis, Cincinnati, San Antonio, Dallas and New York as well as performances in Japan, Italy and Finland. He worked as a resident artist at Sculpture Space in Utica, New York, at Albion College in Albion, Michigan, and Ateljé Stundars in Vaasa, Finland. In 2010, he exhibited in a survey of international artists in residence at the Fondazione Arnaldo Pomodoro in Milan, Italy. This winter he is working as a SWAP resident at SPACES in Cleveland, Ohio. Jimmy teaches Foundations as an assistant professor at the Cleveland Institute of Art.
