KGB Reading Night: Food

rnantonelli   rnbusch   rnlukas

On Thursday, May 29, D-Crit devotees gathered for an evening of food-related design criticism. Design curator extraordinaire Paola Antonelli deconstructed the art and science of the pasta shell. Design essayist and author Akiko Busch treated the crowd to her delicious musings on the vegetable peeler which, when seen through Busch’s eyes, reveals the poetry of the kitchen. And Paul Lukas, who recently blasted Heinz EZ Squirt Blastin’ Green Ketchup, took us on a lo-fi historical tour of butcher-chart design.
