Celebrate the release of Designing for Social Change: Strategies for Community-Based Graphic Design, hailed by Fast Company as “an inspiring collection of projects that prove graphic design isn’t all corporate logos and glossy page layouts.”

In this hands-on primer, author Andrew Shea spotlights twenty inspiring case studies—including the Design Trust’s Made in Midtown Garment District project—to illustrate how graphic designers can use their unique problem-solving skills to ignite social change.

“BRYAN NASH GILL: WHAT WAS WILL BE AGAIN”

Artist’s Reception: Wednesday, May 2nd, 6 to 8 p.m.

Esopus
64 West Third Street, #210
New York, New York 10012

A site-specific installation by the Connecticut-based artist Bryan Nash Gill featuring an eight-color, 122-square-foot woodcut print with applied monoprint that mirrors the gallery’s OSB particle-board floor. The piece, consisting of nine separate components printed from four woodblocks and four Plexiglas stamps, correlates with an eponymous project Gill created for Esopus 18, which will be launched jointly at a reception for Gill on May 2nd. The title of the exhibition and project references the fact that Esopus Space, which has staged 18 exhibitions and more than 30 events in the past three years, will officially close when Gill’s show ends on June 5th.

Our beautiful new book Woodcut, collects these exquisitely detailed large-scale relief prints for the first time.

For the launch of the multimedia publication Sleepwalkers Box, musical directors Hisham Akira Bharoocha and DFA’s Jonathan Galkin will create a live percussion and electronic score alongside visuals from Doug Aitken’s 2007 MoMA installation, Sleepwalkers, on multiple video projections inside the MoMA PS1 Performance Dome. The performance incorporates prerecorded music from the box soundtrack, which includes unreleased tracks by Broadcast and others. The soundtrack weaves in and out of the live drumming, set to the videos, to create an all-immersive sonic and visual experience. A commemorative poster by the artist and Princeton Architectural Press will be distributed free at the event.

Copies of the signed limited edition (1000) Sleepwalkers Box will be for sale at the event and at www.sleepwalkersbox.com

From Storefront Art and Architecture:
An installation in the Woolworth Building Bank Safe designed by Jimenez Lai that will showcase 10 stories emerging from within the safety boxes inside the building’s magnificent vault.

For complete details about this benefit for Storefront Art and Architecture

To Participate:
There are 77 spots for guests to visit the installation. We encourage you to pre-register by emailing km@storefrontnews.org or register at check-in the day of the benefit. Visits are free with ticket purchases but there is limited space. Tours are semi-guided.

Coming soon from Princeton Architectural Press:

Citizens of No Place is a groundbreaking graphic novel on architecture and urbanism. Inspired by the theoretical drawings of paper architects, Lai uses manga-style storyboards to explore the role of fantasy and storytelling in architecture, and in the process ushers in the next generation of theory and criticism.
