Child Creativity and the Visual Arts: From Secessionist Vienna to Postwar America
Tracing the dissemination of Secessionist ideas of child creativity – from their origination in early-20th century Vienna through to their eventual commodification in postwar America – this book highlights the central role that visual art has played in child education and in nurturing creativity in elementary and preschool curricula. Taking the reader through the ideas of three artistic visionaries and their students – Franz Cižek, and Austrian-American émigrés Emmy Zweybrück and Viktor Löwenfeld – this book reveals how these ideas developed in postwar America through a focus on child-centered methods of 'learning by doing' in artistic practice. By centring the visual arts as a ...
It Is Beautiful...Then Gone
Martin Venezky is not your typical point-and-click designer. While he is adept at operating a mouse, he is just as comfortable cutting and pasting type from old books or collaging found signs or making his own photographs. What results are the unique creations of a unique eye. And with this eye and his design firm, Appetite Engineers, Venezky has created beautiful and influential work for Speak and Open magazines, the Sundance Film Festival, Reebok, and numerous publishers and institutions. It Is Beautiful...Then Gone presents Venzky's commercial design work as well as new graphic work created for the book; details of the wall collage that define his office and his aesthetic; the singular photography, collections, and notebooks that define his personality; and text that explains -- or at least questions -- it all. Venezky's philosophy that life and design are a continuation of each other permeates this elegant book filled with hundreds of idiosyncratic, deeply wrought examples.
Inventorying Cultural Heritage Collections
This two-part text opens with an argument few collections practitioners would contest: Regular inventories are central to meaningful, sustainable, and ethical collections preservation and access. But Vanderwarf and Romanowski argue that in practice—some 25 years working with diverse collections between them—inventories are uncommon: instead of functioning as a commonplace feature of collections care, they tend to be evoked as a last resort when a museum has lost control of its collection. Part I offers a flexible project management framework that illustrates strategies for reining in control of collections now. From identifying objectives that best serve the collection in question to sec...

Yves Béhar Fuseproject
Yves Béhar's innovative, narrative-based approach situates him at the forefront of industrial design. In collaboration with forward-thinking companies such as MINI, Birkenstock, and HP, he creates objects and product concepts aimed at today's tech-savvy, visually literate, environmentally conscious consumer. The first American publication devoted to the work of Béhar and the design firm, fuseproject, this catalogue - which accompanies an exhibtion at the San Francisco Museum of Modern Art - is the second volume in the Museum's Design Series. An essay by Joseph Rosa, SFMOMA's Helen Hilton Raiser Curator of Architecture and Design, examines Béhar's affinities for brand fusion, high-tech materials, and, above all, objects that are satisfying to hold and use. Texts by curatorial associate Ruth Keffer explore the designer's most important recent projects, including a novel line of products for the revamped MINI, distinctive bottles and packaging for parfume and cosmetics companies, a Teflon-coated cashmere windbreaker, and a modular, customizable structure known as the Trium Erector.

Roy
From an extreme skiing outpost in Alaska's Chugach Mountains to a sophisticated bar in Manhattan's Meatpacking District, the architecture of Lindy Roy combines fluid, folding forms with innovative responses to context and construction. The first publication devoted to her work, this catalogue - which accompanies an exhibition at the San Francisco Museum of Modern Art - marks the inaugural volume of the museum's new Design Series. An essay by Joseph Rosa, SFMOMA's Helen Hilton Raiser Curator of Architecture and Design, examines Roy's career to date, while texts by curatorial associate Darrin Alfred introduce nine of the architect's most significant projects, including a floating spa in Botswana's Okavango River Delta, an urban oasis in New York, a Houston residence designed for low-income communities, and the acclaimed Manhattan Vitra store.
