The MFA in Applied Craft and Design welcomes Steve Badanes as part of the 2014-2015 Graduate Visiting Artist Lecture Series.
Steve Badanes is a co-founder of Jersey Devil, a group of architects, artists, and inventors, committed to the interdependence of design and construction. Jersey Devil builds all their own work, which shows concern for craft and detail, innovative use of materials, and a strong environmental consciousness.
The work has been the subject of two monographs: the Jersey Devil Design/Build Book and Devil’s Workshop–25 Years of Jersey Devil Architecture. Badanes has lectured on design/build at over 100 universities & a dozen countries. At University of Washington, Badanes holds the Howard S. Wright Endowed Chair and directs the Neighborhood Design/Build Studio, which builds small public projects for Seattle area non-profits. He has led design/build studios throughout the US and in Canada, Cuba, Finland, Ghana, India, and Mexico.
Badanes has been awarded the Solar Pioneer Award from the American Solar Energy Society, Education Awards from the AIA, and a Weird Home Award from the National Enquirer.

In this President's Lecture series, Associate Professor of Media Art Julia Christensen presented her ongoing research and art project about “upgrade culture”—the perceived need of having to relentlessly upgrade our electronics and media to remain relevant.
Christensen also touched on her current collaboration with scientists at NASA’s Jet Propulsion Laboratory envisioning an artwork to be embedded on a spacecraft that will travel to Proxima b, an exo-planet 4.2 light years from Earth.

Gail Straub's lecture addresses how to put our compassion into action. How do we make compassion real in everyday ways; caring for a child, an aging parent, a difficult family member, a troubled co-worker, as well as caring for social justice and ecological causes.

I do believe this particular bird was lecturing the birds below him.....perhaps about table manners...?

Scorched Earth, Black Snow:
Britain and Australia in the Korean War, 1950
On 21st June 2011, in conjunction with the Embassy of the Republic of Korea, the KCC hosted a Global Korea Lecture with Seoul based author and journalist Andrew Salmon. The talk was an overwhelming success and the 100 places for the lecture were fully subscribed weeks in advance.
Though almost entirely unknown in the UK, the Korean War consumed more British lives than the Falklands, Iraq and Afghan conflicts combined; established China – the erstwhile “Sick Man of Asia” - as a superpower; and even today, holds the potential to reignite and unleash a nuclear catastrophe across East Asia.
In a presentation illustrated with some 200 photographs and paintings, many never seen in the UK, Andrew Salmon brought this grim struggle back to life as he discussed the story of Anglo-Australian forces in the war’s most dramatic - and terrible - months.
Scorched Earth, Black Snow is available both online and available from all good books stores.

La force des livres est de pouvoir nous plonger dans des états seconds, de nous faire vivre des songes les yeux ouverts... en voici trois excellents exemples.
On commence avec Junky où l'amérique d'après guerre d'une génération en marge, sombre et libre est livrée brute par William S. Burroughs. On vit chaque trip, chaque injection comme si on y était - ce qui est un peu déroutant le matin avant le boulot mais qui fait de ce livre est un must read.
Puis Zombies, une autre époque (les années 80) et une autre génération d'américains riches, perdus, shootés au Valium et compètement pathétiques, et sans doute l'un des livres qui porte le mieux son titre.
Mais que vient faire Haruki Murakami entre ces deux enfants terribles des amériques? hé bien, avec son univers onirique et poétique, on ne sort pas du songe dans lequel nous ont plongé Ellis et Burroughs, mais le songe change de forme, il devient doux et beau. C'est le deuxième Murakami que je lis après les amants du Spoutnik et ça se lit sans fin, rien d'autre à ajouter.
Kafka sur le rivage - Haruki Murakami - 10/18
Junky - William S. Burroughs - folio
Zombies - Bret Easton Ellis - 10/18
