About this Event
The VASD Program’s ATTENTION Series continues with designers Ronald Rael and Virginia San Fratello.
Ronald Rael and Virginia San Fratello draw, build, 3D print, teach, and write about architecture and design as a cultural endeavor deeply influenced by craft traditions and contemporary technologies. They are the founding partners in the Oakland based make-tank Emerging Objects. Wired magazine writes of their innovations, “while others busy themselves trying to prove that it’s possible to 3-D print a house, Rael and San Fratello are occupied with trying to design one people would actually want to live in”. They also speculate about the social agency of design, particularly along the borderlands between the USA and Mexico, in their studio RAEL SAN FRATELLO.
The ATTENTION series, presented by The Visiting Artist, Scholar, and Designer (VASD) Program, explores the ways in which taking notice can make the invisible suddenly visible, as if by magic. And artists and designers are expert magicians. Their methods and work direct the audience’s attention to the mundane, the overlooked, the misunderstood, and the disregarded, recreating the artist’s experience of discovery in the viewer. Catalyzed by a year of reckonings that helped redefine our values and relationships, and inspired by art and design’s transformative ability to take notice, this series pays attention to attention.
