The Artful Manager: What’s ”authentic”?<\/a><\/strong> Annotated<\/a><\/p>\n

Read the entry, “What’s ‘authentic’?,” by Andrew Taylor, but then read the first comment that follows, by Bill Ivey. Taylor, writing from an arts manager perspective, observes: “Since arts organizations are often perceived (or perceive themselves) as havens of authentic expression, it might be worth a moment to define, exactly, what that means.” Ivey, donning his “folklorist” hat, contrasts the “authentic” barn-raising, say, with the construction of a pre-fab barn — or “authentic” blue jeans and their history of being workwear, with the “brand” of “authentic” designer jeans. Apples & oranges, and the oranges, it seems, are watery — or “thin,” as Ivey puts it: they offer “the illusion of purchasable membership in networks defined by exactly the history and shared values that in modern society are available to very, very few.”<\/p>\n

Willem-Jan Neutelings: “how to Design an Icon” (Archinect : Features)<\/a><\/strong> Annotated<\/a><\/p>\n

I found this via http:\/\/www.ceosforcities.org\/conversations\/blog\/, and have had it open in a tab for DAYS now, wondering how to annotate\/ sum it up, and I can’t seem to do it justice. Here’s Archinect’s introduction: A conversation with Willem-Jan Neutelings about the tradition of architecture and the way iconography should be applied in architecture.” Just that bit: how “iconography should be applied in architecture” is amazing. Who speaks of such things cogently these days? Dares to? At the same time, I find myself in agreement with commentator Ivo, at the end of this blog entry, who writes: “I don’t know about Neutelings-Riedijk. It’s too simple for me, almost cartoonish. A harbour college that looks like stacked shipping containers, an earth-sciences building that looks like covered in dirt, a TV and media centre is clad in blurred tv images. No offence they make nice sculptures, but I expect my architects to come up with something more than the first (obvious) idea that springs to mind while being faced with a client\/project.”<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
