An Organized System of Instructions by Martin Beck / Available at www.draw-down.com / Designed by #JamesGoggin (Practice) / Martin Beck’s 2014-2016 exhibition, Program, at the Carpenter Center for the Visual Arts comprised a sequence of interventions, installations, events, and displays that drew on the exhibition histories and academic pursuits of the famed 1963 #LeCorbusier building at #HarvardUniversity / This illustrated hardcover publication explains Beck's explorative strategies—or “episodes,” alongside essays by #KellerEasterling (scholar and professor of architecture, Princeton University), James Goggin (art director, graphic designer and professor, RISD), #AlexKitnick (art historian and critic, NY), #JamesVoorhies (past Carpenter Center director and current dean of fine arts, CCA), on physical infrastructure, communication strategies, curricular principles, visitor tallies, building usage and welcome rituals in this critical reflection on the activities the Carpenter Center used to create an exhibition of education in both its pedagogical framework and public outreach. From its physical infrastructure to its communication strategies, from its foundational curricular principles to visitor tallies, from building usage to welcome rituals, Program examined institutional behaviors that collectively form institutional identity and integrate audiences into a cohesive program of public address. #MartinBeck (at Carpenter Center for the Visual Arts, Harvard University)
