Moonscape of the Mind: Japanese American Design after Internment |
|
 |
Washington University in St. Louis’s Sam Fox School of Design and Visual Arts and the College of Architecture is currently seeking contributors to Beauty in Enormous Bleakness, a project focused on the legacy of the post-war design of Japanese American architects from St. Louis. Japanese American alumni of WashU’s architecture school mentioned in this project include Gyo Obata, Richard Henmi, George Matsumoto, and Fred Toguchi. Beauty in Enormous Bleakness explores the complex cultural landscape of post-war mid-century modern design and the broader post-war period of American life via a library exhibition, a colloquium, and an edited volume of essays. Interested authors are invited to join us in pursuit of new ways of thinking about the Japanese American incarceration experience and its impact on post-war creative work by considering a single artifact in its contexts of creation, use, and broader social meanings. Contributors are to develop an abstract for an object-focused essay to be presented at the conference. The final essay would then be considered for inclusion in an edited volume. For more information, please see the Call For Proposals or you may contact Assistant Professors Heidi Kolk and Kelley Murphy in the Sam Fox School of Design + Visual Arts at hkolk@wustl.edu and kelleyv@wustl.edu. Thank you! |
