Goran ci svela i 10 step per organizzare una mostra

Ho incontrato Marco (aka Goran) per la prima volta davanti ad un piatto di carbonara in un ristorantino a due passi dal naviglio. La promessa era quella di scambiare due chiacchiere, un poster e qualche trucchetto del mestiere. Mi ha parlato tra le altre cose di Greetings from Milano, la sua mostra a Milano che inizierà l’11 ottobre, così gli ho chiesto di svelarci i 10 step per organizzare una mostra.

1. Non sei onnipotente

Anche se è la tua mostra, non puoi farcela da solo. È fondamentale individuare dei collaboratori di cui possa fidarti dal lato professionale e umano. Certo, qualche volta si potrà litigare, ma il risultato finale sarà una bella e allegra sbronza alla fine della mostra.

2. Due minuti a piedi dalla metro

L’essere umano è essenzialmente pigro. Per questo è importante trovare un luogo che sia facilmente raggiungibile coi mezzi pubbici e che abbia orari di apertura comodi per chi lavora o studia.

3. Bocche cucite ma non troppo

Cerca di svelare il meno possibile, ma che possa incuriosire il tuo pubblico. Crea hype, ma poi ricordati di fare un buon lavoro!

4. Go Local

Non fidarti mai dei servizi di stampa online: il rapporto umano coi fornitori dà più soddisfazione, risultati e sconti.

5. Prima o poi dovrai lavare i piatti

Metti in chiaro con la tua ragazza che per un mese non rientrerai a casa, ma al ritorno sarai un casalingo perfetto.

6. Installati Excel

Essere un creativo non ti autorizza a dimenticarti che l’organizzazione è imprescindibile: imparerai a usare i fogli di calcolo come non avevi mai fatto prima.

7. Rassegnati alla stampa

I giornalisti sono i tuoi migliori amici, ma vogliono essere coccolati (tranne che con te, Luca, che sei perfetto). Dedica almeno due ore al giorno per catturare la loro attenzione e ottenere l’ambito articolo.

8. Affinità elettive

Trova gli sponsor giusti: per fare una mostra servono un bel po’ di risorse, economiche e non solo. Bisogna individuare dei partner che si leghino naturalmente col tuo lavoro.

9.. Sii pettinato

La figura del creativo (anche se odiamo questa parola) è spesso associata allo “scappato di casa”. Tira fuori la camicia dall’armadio (se necessario), raffina il tuo lessico e va’ a conquistare il mondo. Sapersi presentare, al di là di creare un prodotto di qualità, è tutto.

10. 🙂

Non farti mai prendere dallo sconforto e sorridi sempre, la presa bene è fondamentale.

Concrete cabin by Luciano Kruk Arquitectos built in an Argentinian woodland

This rural Argentinian home by Luciano Kruk Arquitectos was built from intersecting slabs of timber-imprinted concrete and sheets of glass (+ slideshow).

Casa SV by Luciano Kruk Arquitectos

The three-bedroom house, named Casa SV, is set within a wooded area of the coastal town of Pinamar, 200 miles south of Buenos Aires.

The Argentinian studio cast slabs of concrete over lengths of timber to leave behind a grained and outlined imprint that is intended to resonate with the surrounding woodland.

“The aesthetic expression tries to build a relationship with the surrounding landscape, meaning the new construction does not cause a negative visual impact,” said Luciano Kruk Arquitectos.

The shell of the building has begun to weather and stain green in places, toning the concrete with its natural surroundings. Two sheets of glass box in the living room, creating a transparent section through the middle of the building.

Interior walls and ceilings feature the same timber impressions as the exterior, but floors and surfaces have been polished smooth.

“Our clients asked that the house be as simple as possible and expressly indicated that we place the master bedroom away as much as possible from the other two bedrooms that would work to receive family and other visitors,” said the architects.

Casa SV by Luciano Kruk Arquitectos

An en-suite master bedroom and kitchen occupy one end of the rectangular building, with two guest bedrooms and a bathroom at the opposite end. The glazed living room is sandwiched between the two spaces.

In this open-plan living room, wooden chairs are positioned around a wood burning stove to form a sitting area at one end of the space. The stove chimney extends through a concrete sideboard and into a hole in the roof.

On the opposite side of the room a concrete dining table has been integrated with the kitchen wall. Recessed shelving at the end of the table intersects the wall to form the kitchen work surface.

A glazed shaft above the recess lets in natural light, while a further opening in the wall leads through to the kitchen.

The kitchen has polished concrete sideboards and counter tops. Two further shelves run the length of the wall above the sink and have textured edges to match the rough cast walls.

Casa SV by Luciano Kruk Arquitectos

The living room is flanked by two glazed walls that slide back to form two entrance points to the house. Decking extends out from both entrances.

Casa SV by Luciano Kruk Arquitectos

“This generates a space with some indeterminacy in the limits [between] indoor and outdoor,” said the architects.

Casa SV by Luciano Kruk Arquitectos

Red wooden planks were chosen for the decking, which have a similar width to those used to cast the concrete. Cut-outs in the decking make way for pre-existing trees and shrubs.

Casa SV by Luciano Kruk Arquitectos

The bedrooms, bathrooms and kitchen each have a glass wall that faces into a secluded area of woodland at the back of the property.

Casa SV by Luciano Kruk Arquitectos

In the bathroom, this glazing has been frosted to provide privacy, but a transparent strip at roof height allows direct light into the concrete interior.

Casa SV by Luciano Kruk Arquitectos

In the master bedroom a concrete bedside table extends through the glass wall to create an outdoor bench, making a connection between the interior and exterior space.

Casa SV by Luciano Kruk Arquitectos

The master bedroom and main guest bedroom occupy the full depth of the property. On their road-facing aspect, solid concrete walls shield the rooms from view.

Casa SV by Luciano Kruk Arquitectos

These concrete walls have been pushed out of line with the main rectangular plan of the house and reconnected to the roof and walls with slim sections of glass. This irregular arrangement of windows lights the space while maintaining privacy from passing traffic.

NYC Getting Another Industrial Design Program: Parsons MFA in ID

0PoltronaFrau-Lab.jpgParsons design students working with Poltrona Frau

It’s been a long time since Pratt Institute, my alma mater, was the only game in town for those looking to earn Industrial Design degrees in New York City. These days Core77’s own Allan Chochinov heads up the Products of Design MFA program at the School of Visual Arts, while crosstown rival Parsons The New School for Design offers a BFA in Product Design. Now the latter school is extending their offering, rolling out an MFA in Industrial Design.

Under skipper and veteran designer Rama Chorpash, the two-year program “will prepare designers to negotiate the seemingly contradictory forces at play at all scales of product design. You critically engage with issues such as production and sustainability, consumerism and social and environmental betterment, and global and local industry, integrating these considerations to improve industry, human life, and the planet.”

Ah, NYC design education then and now. The neighborhood of early ’90s Pratt was blighted by the tail-end of the crack epidemic, our precinct had the highest crime rate in all of New York City (tied only with the South Bronx), students were mugged with regularity and acquiring art supplies meant waiting for a G train that ran about as frequently as the Space Shuttle. And now there are not one, but multiple ID-related programs in Manhattan proper, in nice, safe neighborhoods with their own art supply stores. No, I’m not bitter. Enjoy your design educations, you lousy….

Parsons’ MFA in Industrial Design program rolls out in Fall of 2015. Later this month, a panel discussion at Parsons called “Product City: Shortening the Supply Chain” will serve as the program’s official kickoff.
