LIVE PERFORMANCE BY PATRICK MAISANO

Stefano Boeri, Gianluigi Ricuperati and the editorial team present the new ABITARE magazine. With the September ’07 issue, Stefano Boeri will take over as editor of Abitare, the bilingual English/Italian monthly architecture publication, after the 15-year tenure of Italian architect and designer Italo Lupi.

Boeri and his team will discuss with the writers Norman Manea, David Means, Lauren Redniss, Antonio Tabucchi and Lawrence Weschler, about the magazine’s new direction, in particular its intention to look at the connections between architecture, art and literature, as understood by the magazine’s newby-line:

AN EVENING WITH INGO FAST

Events, Illustration Alumni, News, , , ,

Society of Illustrators, October 3rd, 6.30pm, tickets $10 ($6 for students)

Illustrator Ingo Fast’s year long, slow trip around the world posed difficulties not only in respect to the various modes of transportation he chose, but also in how he would continue his work as an illustrator. Often it wasn’t just the work itself or how he would carry it (e. g. cramped on a bus or train, balancing his drawing pad on a sailboat, finding a quiet corner in a hotel lobby or working in the children’s playroom of a public library). Also a challenge was discovering which means of communication would be available to transmit his sketches and illustrations: from slow dial-up internet connections to not too stable satellite phone-to-laptop hook-ups.
