#Repost @artsatmit Can’t say we’re surprised to see @adjaye_visual_sketchbook on @artnet’s “10 Disruptors Who Are Completely Changing the Art World.” Earlier this year, Adjaye was the recipient of our 2016 #McDermottAward. A distinctive feature of the Award is a short residency at MIT, which includes a public presentation of the artist’s work, substantial interaction with #students and #faculty, and a #gala that convenes national and international leaders in the #arts. Adjaye’s comments on receiving the Award: “In my career I have sought to cross creative platforms, to collaborate with artists and designers from different #disciplines and to focus on the #creative discourse surrounding the act of making things. I believe it is this dialogue – the #cultural intersection – that moves us forward, generates new possibilities and creates #greatness. The Eugene McDermott Award in the #ArtsatMIT has long stood for exactly this principle, and it for this reason I am both supremely honoured and supremely humbled to be named as this year’s recipient.” #adjayeassociates #davidadjaye #elegant #global #urban #architecture #design #makingplaces #placemaking #urbandesign #urbanism #builtenvironment #modernism
