The Celebration of Manny Farber
September 4-7, 2009
Telluride, Colorado
Each Labor Day weekend, the tiny mountain village of Telluride, Colorado triples in size. Swells of passionate film enthusiasts flood the town for four days of total cinematic immersion, embarking on a viewing odyssey, blissfully spending entire days in flickering dark rooms. With only an appreciation of celluloid to guide them, these devotees flock to the show, year after year. Why? Blind faith. We don’t reveal the program until everyone lands in town. Yet the Telluride family trusts that a unique experience will unfold.

“Legos are the best toy to play with,” said Bryan Decker, a 35-year-old single dad who lives in Ocean Beach with his 6-year-old son, Chandler. “You never lose interest in them. They never lose value.”

Design is incidental in the socially responsible work shown by architect Teddy Cruz and artist Pedro Reyes at their Architecture Foundation lecture

Architecture Foundation’s Architecture and Art Series
3/5 stars
Architect Teddy Cruz began the second lecture in the Architecture Foundation’s new series by quoting US general David Petraeus’s description of the contemporary soldier as someone who needs to be “a social worker, versed in many languages”. With unstoppable eloquence, he launched into a description of his work in forging communities and working as an agent for change in promoting “ground-up” redevelopment.
Haim Steinbach: From Florence | Let There Be Art! - A review for the NY Times by Stefano Tonchi
Submitted by yolietorres on Wed, 06/24/2009 - 10:09am. ReviewFrom Florence | Let There Be Art!
By Stefano Tonchi for the New York Times
Pitti Immagine, the Florence-based fashion fair, is not new to mixing art and fashion. After all, Emilio Pucci started his career — not to mention the whole Italian fashion circus — here when he put family crests and modernist prints on jersey mini dresses and Lycra leggings.
"...In collaboration with Yvonne Force’s Art Production Fund, the two designers joined forces with three artists and created site-specific installations and performances throughout the rooms and the gardens of the magnificent and usually off-limits villa. A pristine sculpture by Haim Steinbach took over the elaborately frescoed central ballroom, where on a white clinical background, the artist’s classic S&M objects — black rubber and metal cages — mingled with torturously high-heeled shoes and slick leather bags from the Proenza Schouler spring 2010 collection..."

Teddy Cruz: The young generation with a new vision to build Britain - A review for the UK Guardian Observer by Geraldine Bedell
Submitted by yolietorres on Wed, 06/24/2009 - 9:55am. ReviewThe young generation with a new vision to build Britain
As Prince Charles and Richard Rogers squabble over Chelsea Barracks, Geraldine Bedell meets a new generation of architects for whom the row is an irrelevance as they forge a fresh approach to planning for the 21st century
(http://www.guardian.co.uk/artanddesign/2009/jun/21/younger-generation-architects)
By Geraldine Bedell for guardian.co.uk | TheObserver, June 21, 2009
For the younger generation of architects, the row between Prince Charles and Richard Rogers is a complete turn-off. It seems beside the point. Sean Griffiths of FAT (Fashion Architecture Taste, who are famous for their pop-influenced Blue House in London and their Islington Square housing development in Manchester, which has been described as "Dutch gables on steroids") says, fairly typically, that last week's spat over the Chelsea barracks site is "an outdated, irrelevant argument, like Chelsea Pensioners still fighting world war one".
