MFAD forum invite

i’m not in new york right now - and won’t be until june - but if i was, i would be attending the SVA MFA Designer as Author Thesis Forum on April 22nd.

i didn’t apply to SVA for grad-school this fall because i thought their graphic design program seemed a little too “crunchy,” but this show looks awesome. and i think it’s free.

Steven Heller of PRINT magazine says :

The School of Visual Arts (SVA) MFA Designer as Author program is holding its first annual Thesis Forum at the new SVA Visual Arts Theater next Wednesday, April 22. During this daylong, marathon event (9:30 a.m. to 9:30 p.m.), MFAD thesis students will present their entrepreneurial products on the big stage. The public is welcome for all (or some) of the day’s presentations.

Moderated by guest host/faculty members Milton Glaser (keynote) Scott Stowell, and Lita Talarico, with a special end note by Allan Chochinov, the day is divided into three sessions that will showcase the unique products, objects, and campaigns created for the contemporary marketplace. A catalog, entrepreneurial gifts, and delicious finger food will be available.

The SVA Theater is located at 333 West 23rd St. And if you cannot make the Thesis Forum, please attend the opening of “Potential Energy: 19 Designers Set Their Ideas in Motion,” the MFAD thesis exhibition, Tuesday, May 5 from 5 to 8 p.m. at the Visual Arts Gallery, 601 West 26th Street, 15th Floor. (The exhibition is up until May 16). Come view the work and then give us your comments.

sounds fun!

also : check out this super shoddy website that was published before all the kinks were worked out for Sprint / Palm’s new awesome phone - the Palm Pre. i’m not an iPhone user and i’m not gonna be. when this baby comes out i’m ditching Verizon and going with Jamie Lee’s favorite company.

robert moses / sarah jessica parker

as i stood in the mess of times square yesterday, with my mid-morning cigarette, i was confronted with a six-story sarah jessica parker, clad in shimmery snakeskin or sequins or something, selling her new ’sex and the city’ movie. she’s pasted to the side of the marriot marquee and is skewed on a slight diagonal bustling through an ambiguous NYC blur of night and lights (not pictured above, couldn’t find the right pic on the net) like she was captured in the pose by paparazzi as she momentarily glanced up to politely greet an acquaintance while slinking out of a cab. i thought about this woman. about how her sheer presence heralds materialism - the hint of a designer clutch peeking into the frame.
