Résumé:
The red maple leaf is the quintessential symbol of Canada and the flag that popularized it throughout the world was designed in the 1960s as a result of government legislation aimed at creating a vital, new Canadian national identity through objects, events, and building projects. Made in Canada looks at the development of Canadian craft, design, and culture through ambitious government programs meant to reinforce the country's identity as a modern, sophisticated, and autonomous nation. As well, it documents the demise of a singular notion of modern life and its replacement with a focus on personal identity and consumerism. Changes in the 1960s included the building of modern airports, first space satellite, and new national symbols such as the maple leaf flag. Canadians embraced this heightened sense of individuality and demanded products that were equally individual. As a result pop culture objects sat on cool furniture influenced by Scandinavian modernism while handmade crafts reflected a growing concern with environmental issues. Expo 67 was the turning point - one final expression of optimism before Canada was rocked by social change and varied struggles for identity. Made in Canada examines national dreams and expressions of individuality in thoughtful and illuminating essays. Contributors include Sandra Alfoldy (NSCAD University), Paul Bourassa (Musée des beaux-arts de Québec), Brent Cordner (designer and educator, Toronto), Douglas Coupland (artist and author, Vancouver), Bernard Flaman (Government of Saskatchewan), Rachel Gotlieb (freelance curator and writer, Toronto), Michael Large (Sheridan College Institute of Technology and Advanced Learning), and Michael Prokopow (Design Exchange).

Résumé:
In 1988 Design Gallery Milano started its business by displaying the exhibition “Bharata” by Ettore Sottsass (with exhibition planning by Michele De Lucchi). Since then, Design Gallery produced hundreds of objects – few of which in more than some dozens copies – that had in common the aim of going beyond the conventional standards of the market circulation.

Résumé:
In 1988 Design Gallery Milano started its business by displaying the exhibition “Bharata” by Ettore Sottsass (with exhibition planning by Michele De Lucchi). Since then, Design Gallery produced hundreds of objects – few of which in more than some dozens copies – that had in common the aim of going beyond the conventional standards of the market circulation. Even if autonomous and independent from the classic industrial market, Design Gallery is a structural phenomenon in the dynamic system of design, since it represents its complementary avant-garde. Through its interpretation of design, conceived as a discipline rather than a profession – research rather than product – Design Gallery marked in fact a story of radical creativity and unbroken experimentation. This book presents through images and words the history of Design Gallery and outlines the philosophy of its development over the past twenty years. The first part of the book features photographs of the Design Gallery warehouse, taken by Michele De Lucchi in the Autumn of 2009. Published in the second part are the texts gathered together during a lunch at Michele De Lucchi’s office on 30th October 2009 with Andrea Branzi, Michele De Lucchi, Brunella and Mario Godani, Alessandro Mendini. The photographs of the objects were chosen from Design Gallery’s historical archives, and are the work of photographers who have followed and encouraged the Gallery’s work. Lastly, the chronology at the end of the book gives the fullest possible details of the Gallery’s annual collections, produced by groups or individual designers and artists.

The old dream of social belonging and political sovereignty--the dream of nation--was fraught with anxiety and contradiction for many artists and intellectuals in the 1950s. On the one hand, memories of the Second World War remained vivid and the chauvinism that had enabled it threatened to return with the growing tensions of the Cold War. On the other hand, the need to(...)

Résumé:
The old dream of social belonging and political sovereignty--the dream of nation--was fraught with anxiety and contradiction for many artists and intellectuals in the 1950s. On the one hand, memories of the Second World War remained vivid and the chauvinism that had enabled it threatened to return with the growing tensions of the Cold War. On the other hand, the need to bind together into a new global identity--into a world nation or "family of man"--seemed ever more pressing as a bulwark against the rapidly expanding threat of a nuclear World War III. The Pivot of the World looks at an exceptional effort to work out that geopolitical tension by cultural means as developed in three hugely ambitious photographic projects: The Family of Man exhibition that opened in 1955 and traveled the world for the next decade; Robert Frank's influential book The Americans, photographed in 1955-1956 and first published in 1958; and Bernd and Hilla Becher's typological record of industrial architecture, begun in 1957 and continuing today. Each of these projects worked to release the dream of nation--of belonging and sovereignty--from its old civic trappings through the medium of photography's serial form, in the experience of one photograph followed by another and another and another, so that all seem at once intimately connected and at the same time autonomous and distinct. Innovations in the serial composition of photographic form could open new possibilities for social form while the modern desire for political belonging could be made cosmopolitan, could be globalized--but in the most human of ways. This epic sense of purpose lasted only for a moment--it had already passed by the beginning of the 1960s--but it bears particular interest for any historical understanding of the contest over globalization that continues to hold such great consequence for us now.
