Tell me a story
Announcements | Nov 17, 2006

Good interview questions are just as important as good answers... says Art MoCo's editor Sabine, "I like the 'tell me a story' because it is so general that any designer or artist can adapt it to his or her situation and then dazzle us with something quite personal.".

We got a bunch more in our quest for the best interview questions, here' a sampling:

What's your favorite shape found in nature? from Karina,

What was the last thing you designed/made for your mother? from Brian,

Are there any things or categories of things that you won't design? Why? also from Brian,

Do you think that, just like in fashion, industrial designers will become household names to the masses? from Chris,

and Tell me a story from Alinia.


spacer The best questions, as voted by you our readers will be eligible to win Phaidon’s new Josef Muller- Brockmannspacer coffee table book (“The first comprehensive monograph on the life and work of pioneering Swiss graphic designer who created many of the twentieth century’s most significant and memorable posters.").

The deadline for question(s) submissions is today and the voting will take place next week.

Leave a comment with your question(s) and make sure to enter your email address when you're filling in the form.

This Week at Art MoCo
Art | Nov 17, 2006

spacer
We featured a chatty interview with Minneapolis artist Amy Rice who brings us well-dressed fish and ladies whose guests don’t show up. And when she told us about some of her favorite artists, we decided to take a closer look throughout the week.
spacer
Ida Pearle is one such artist who creates simple and effective compositions with bits of coloured paper. Pearle’s collages are striking narratives that mirror the various seasons and holidays of the year.
spacer
Scott Musgrave draws and paints a world filled with wacky animals with big eyes and a whole lot of attitude. They may not all be cute and cuddly, but they are definitely worth getting to know.
spacer
Seonna Hong’s illustrations and paintings reflect her work as an animator and her characters range from typical schoolgirls of the you’re-not-my-best-friend- anymore ilk to happy space kitties.
spacer
And Amy Rice sure made our week when she introduced us to the work of Amy Winfrey, an animator from UCLA whose cartoon series Making Fiends has us whining the theme song at all hours. Slightly warped and very excellent.

Thanks for a great week, Amy! SM

It’s a… wood pellet stove, more precisely a heater from Shimotani and designer Satoshi Seki. You literally set up this colorful fireplace in any room, and fire it up with eco-friendly wood pellets made from "waste chips and sawdust that would otherwise be discarded".
