 Saturday, April 4, 2:15 pm @ The Institute of Contemporary Art ICA/AIGA DESIGN SERIES: DESIGN AS SOCIAL AGENT * * * * * * The Next Generation Organized in partnership with the ICA Shepard Fairey's practice has blown open the ways that emerging artists and designers think about content, form, and message. Hear what the next generation of artists have learned, adapted, or rejected from Fairey's work and where it is leading them. Designer Elliott Earls will interview Boston-based artists including Brian Butler, a representative from Goldenstash, Dana Woulfe, and Kenji Nakayama. Elliott Earls is a designer, performance artist, and typographer, and currently serves as Designer-in Residence at Cranbrook Academy of Art. His studio, Apollo Program, combines nonlinear digital video, spoken word poetry, music and design; clients include Elektra Entertainment, Nonesuch Records, Scribner Publishing, The Cartoon Network (U.K.), and Janus Films. Brian Butler is a working artist and designer. His passion for the bizarre has fueled a worldwide campaign advocating the existence of the half human, half ice cream hybrid, the Ice Cream Person. Goldenstash is the moustached mason adorning the nooks and alleys of Boston. Promoting a character that is both comically seductive and unapologetically womanizing. Dana Woulfe is a self-confessed artist, designer, and Converse Employee. He became a part of the local graffiti scene while developing his design and illustration skills through four years of school. Originally from Hokkaido Japan, Kenji Nakayama now resides in Boston, and creates dynamic multi-layered urban landscapes. Admission is free with a ticket to any main stage talk. Admission to these programs is on a first-come, first-served basis. See here for ticket info and the entire day's programming. LINKS
