SUMMARY:James & Suzan Wines: What Can Design Mean?
DESCRIPTION:For decades\, James Wines has pushed architecture in unexpected directions.\n\nAs co-founder of SITE in New York City in 1970\, Wines became known for projects that blurred the lines between architecture\, art\, and public space – including the iconic Best Products buildings that earned both the company and Richmond a lasting place in design history.\n\nHis daughter\, architect Suzan Wines\, is principal of the New York-based practice I-Beam and continues to work closely with her father and SITE on projects around the world\, including an ongoing arts center in Amsterdam.\n\nJoin us at The Branch on Tuesday\, June 9 from 6–8pm for a conversation with James and Suzan exploring the ideas behind their work and the question: What can design mean?\n\nSuzan will join in person\, with James participating live via Zoom. Tickets are $20 (half-price for students) and include admission to the Imagining Best Products exhibition. \nBuy Tickets Here

SUMMARY:The Aesthetic of Abandoned Objects
DESCRIPTION:The Aesthetic of Abandoned Objects presents work by Thornton Dial and Sanford Kogan. Both artists build from cast-off materials. Both find that the history inside an object does not disappear when the object does. \nDial is a self-taught artist with a well-regarded body of work shown in major museums. His assemblages — wire\, cloth\, metal\, and wood — carry race and survival inside them. He didn’t choose discarded materials because they looked interesting. He chose them because they meant something. His objects confront the viewer with what was never supposed to last. \nKogan’s practice is grounded in FroiDesign — Found and Repurposed Objects of Industrial Design. He picks up what factories left behind and finds something worth looking at. His sculptures make you see old machine parts differently. His photographs take text and push it past words into image. His lighting works bring that same eye into space. He treats reinterpretation as a productive act\, not a secondary one. \nTogether\, Dial and Kogan invite audiences to reconsider the lifecycle of objects and the stories embedded within material culture. The exhibition offers a timely reflection on the beauty that emerges from what society overlooks.
