French Express

JD Beltran on SFGATE writes on Vernissage

"The Bay Area community is awash in MFA exhibitions at the moment, with those of the San Francisco Art Institute, Mills College, Stanford University, and the University of California, Berkeley all up at the moment. Hopefully I'll be able to get to all of them, as it's always fascinating to see what's coming out of the graduate programs, and how the work is responding to the current climate. Last Friday, I attended the opening reception for "Vernissage," the San Francisco Art Institute's MFA Exhibition, which is always a giddy madhouse. (The French term "Vernissage" comes from "varnishing day," the day before the opening of an art exhibition traditionally reserved for the artist to varnish the paintings.)"

kinda hippy design...


but I really support the direction of design intent.

"Modeled after the wings of a dragonfly, this incredible urban farm concept for New York City’s Roosevelt Island intends to ease the problems of food mileage and shortage, and reconnect consumers with producers. Urban farming is a growing trend amongst savvy city dwellers today, but in a densely packed borough like Manhattan, growth must come vertically. Spanning 132 floors and 600 vertical meters, the Dragonfly can accommodate 28 different agricultural fields for the production of fruit, vegetables, grains, meat and dairy. A combination of solar and wind power make Belgian architect Vincent Callebaut’s Dragonfly concept %100 self sufficient."
