A landmark publication from renowned art-and-design publisher Thames & Hudson will examine the latest generation of innovators from art, architecture, design, and related fields. Joline Blais and Jon Ippolito have co-authored the new media section of the book.
Drawing on and extending themes from At the Edge of Art, Blais and Ippolito examine five artists and activists who bring strategies from the realm of electronic networks into action in the real world.
This highly produced volume is due to be published later this year, on the occasion of Thames & Hudson’s sixtieth anniversary.
Meanwhile kids from LongGreenHouse’s Wassookeag school have been busy too: in April they made dreamcatchers with Penobscot elder Charlene Francis; in July they visited the Black Bear Food Guild; in September they built a geodesic dome with Intermedia MFA student Bill Giordano. The BBFG’s July newsletter described the Wassookeag students as “intelligent, thoughtful, and incredibly enjoyable”; they “had a zeal for learning that was really amazing.”
