UPCOMING EVENTS

D-Crit Readings series
The SVA MFA Design Criticism department presents a series of reading nights at KGB Bar in New York's East Village. The nights are organized in anticipation of the program's launch in Fall 2008, and all are warmly invited to attend. To be added to our event mailing list, please contact eweiner1@sva.edu

The next D-Crit gathering, an evening of sports-fueled design criticism, is on Tuesday, July 22, 2008.

Michael Bierut, co-founder of Design Observer, laments stadium architecture's tendency to nostalgia. Metropolis contributing editor Jennifer Kabat scrutinizes Nike's new uniforms for the Chinese Olympics team. ESPN sports uniform critic Paul Lukas explores the cultural history of the humble baseball cap. Finally, The New York Times car critic, Phil Patton considers the curious conflation of celebrity athlete shoes and cars.

7:00 to 9:00 p.m.
KGB Bar, 85 East 4th Street
