Yesterday, Biennial of the Americas curator, Paola Santoscoy and I had the opportunity to sit and chat with Clark Richert at his studio at Redline. It was extraordinary opportunity and time well spent. It was interesting to learn from Clark the extent to which Drop City is once again attracting attention. It seems like some of the ideas of the generation that came of age in the sixties are finally taking a slightly more mainstream hold. I for one certainly hope this is the case. Simple concepts like energy efficiency, resource management, and sustainably minded building, once seen as “hippie” are finally being embraced. It’s people like Clark and his contemporaries at Black Mountain College, John Cage, Robert Rauschenberg and inventor/theorist Buckminster Fuller that have driven this mind shift.
Clark is a bit of a national treasure, a man of immense vision and talent, and having the opportunity to share ideas with him was a real pleasure. Before leaving he turned us on to the below video clip from a documentary produced by the BBC in 64′.

Images, video, and an interview with Broken Crow have been posted up on the Burlesque of North America’s blog. It makes my heart smile when those who inhabit cities help shape and define the spaces we all share with the gift of art.

Let me start by saying this is only a band-aid solution (yes the pen is biodegradable, but it still takes energy to make the pen). Unfortunately there are still situations where disposable pens are the go-to option (banks, booths, promos) and DBA’s biodegradable pen is certainly a step in the right direction.
On a side note, DBA has some other great products in the works that deserve a looksie.

When the Haiti Poster Project invited us to produce a piece to help them reach their fundraising goal of $1,000,000.00 for Doctors Without Borders we leapt at the opportunity. We spent a solid block of time on concept and settled on a typographic statement imbued with positive vibrations and seven colors of ink. We reached to our friend Ray McDermott at Good Thoughts 4 All and got down to business on the ole automatic. Here’s a little peak between screens four and five and five and six. More soon.

We’ve followed our friend Steve Talkowski’s progress designing, prototyping, and eventually producing his signature Sketchbot for about 2 years now. It’s been a wonderful process to witness and a testament to Steve’s talent, commitment and vision. To kick off what Steve’s calling “Phase 1″ of Sketchbot he’s teamed up with MyPlasticHeartNYC to throw a massive Sketchbot custom show. He’s assembled a spectacular cast of 50+ customizers. We’re humbled to have been invited and to have the opportunity to take part. We couldn’t be more psyched for Steve.
