In Focus The IRB 2600 robot (shown here mounted with a pneumatic tool for six-axis milling) allows Pratt students to shape solid material into complex geometric forms with incredible precision and in a manner that can be easily modified and replicated. The IRB 2600 is one of two robots made by ABB and acquired by Pratt to teach students fundamental concepts in robotic programming and fabrication that introduce new ways of thinking about form making and craft as applied to traditional design. With its emphasis on the practical application of creativity, Pratt is one of the first art and design schools to incorporate robotics into its curriculum.

As one of the foremost training grounds for visionaries in the visual arts, design, and library and information science, Pratt Institute considers the book an ideal medium for the creative exploration for which the Institute is known. From creating books made of everyday household items and crafting the Institute’s Prattonia yearbook to engaging with the content of both traditional and digital books, the Pratt community is bringing fresh approaches to every aspect of one of the oldest forms of communication. This issue of Prattfolio explores the many ways that the Institute’s alumni, faculty, and students are using their talents to consider what constitutes a book at a time when its role in culture and society continues to evolve.

Pratt’s engagement with the ideas and trends that shape our world extends well beyond the campus, and we have had an exciting fall. The Institute’s new public programs series, Pratt Presents, has met with tremendous success, attracting notable figures from government, industry, and the arts, and garnering extensive press coverage, particularly for the Pratt Presents programming at Art Basel Miami Beach, which you can read more about on page 43.

As you peruse this issue of Prattfolio, I hope that you are inspired by the projects and ideas presented on the pages that follow. In the next issue, I look forward to sharing the exciting developments surrounding the recent opening of the Institute’s new film and video building. Please mark your calendar for Saturday, September 19, for Alumni Day 2015, when you will have an opportunity to tour the new building as we celebrate you and the thousands of Pratt alumni who have truly made the Institute what it is today.

INSPIRED Tomie dePaola, B.F.A. ’56: Strega Nona

Recognized by the American Library Association (ALA) for his “distinctive visual style” and “innate understanding of childhood,” children’s book author and illustrator Tomie dePaola is best known for his 12 Strega Nona books, the first of which was named an ALA Caldecott Honor Book in 1976 and received the ALA’s Wilder Award in 2011. He has written and/or illustrated nearly 250 books, which have sold more than 15 million copies worldwide and been translated into more than 20 languages. This year marks the 40th anniversary of Strega Nona and dePaola’s 50th year as a children’s book illustrator.

In this milestone year, Prattfolio spoke to dePaola about his experience with Strega Nona over the past four decades.

P: What inspired you to create the Strega Nona character?

Strega Nona first appeared as a doodle during one particularly long faculty meeting at Colby-Sawyer College. I was playing with the idea of a children’s theater troupe based on the commedia dell’arte and drew Pulcinella, or Punch. I added a kerchief to the big nose and chin, and the drawing became a little old grandmother. That doodle became the basis for my retelling of the Grimm brothers’ fairy tale, “The Magic Porridge Pot,” which was one of my favorites as a child.

P: Where do your ideas for the Strega Nona stories come from?

Strega Nona decides! I have to be patient and wait until the inspiration for a new tale comes to me.

I tell people that Strega Nona whispers in my ear, “Do I have a story for you!”

Above: A sketch of Strega Nona, courtesy of Tomie dePaola; Opposite: Art from Strega Nona, published by Simon & Schuster, courtesy of Tomie dePaola

P: What has surprised you the most about the Strega Nona character over the years?

In order to make sure that my ideas for the sequels were true to her character, I had to get to know her.

She very much has a life of her own and I want each book to reveal another facet of the old girl. I also never thought that little old lady would capture the imagination of my readers to such an extent.

The wallmounted sculpture in the background is by Nachum Tevet, one of Allen’s early teachers who directed him to Pratt; Opposite: Allen’s dining area features an eclectic mix of items including a painting by Meg Franklin, which sits atop a white sculpture by Sol Lewitt, and a large photograph by Liz Deshenes, who photographed Allen’s work before becoming an artist herself.

“Everything in my life has meaning,” says award-winning designer Harry Allen, M.I.D. ’94.

That statement applies aptly to his home in New York City’s East Village, where works of art share space with family heirlooms, classic design pieces, and products from the various collections that Allen has produced over the course of his 20year career. For Allen, whose work can be found in such diverse places as the Museum of Modern Art (MoMA) and Target, objects can—and should—be in dialogue with each other.

He attributes this understanding of how objects interact to Murray Moss, for whom he designed the iconic Moss Gallery and More Moss boutique in the mid-1990s. An emphasis on interaction informs Allen’s overall design ethos, and by extension the products, furniture, and interiors that he creates.

Allen’s creations serve as cornerstones of the dialogue that he promotes. By playfully balancing the look and functionality of his creations, Allen infuses meaning into pieces that are produced and manufactured on a large scale, such as the now classic Kila lamp that he designed for Ikea.

In his own home, Allen has made meaning not by collecting for accumulation’s sake, but by bringing together objects—ranging from a Donald Judd chair to his aunt’s candlesticks—that remind him of people he has loved and admired. Displaying pieces from those who have inspired, taught, and known him, Allen pays homage to the people who have been influential in his life. Allen feels that, in his apartment, they are all able to engage with one another. He says, “In so many ways, my apartment is like a party.”

BEYOND BINDING

One of the most contemporary art forms, the artist’s book has its roots in the avant-garde movement that spread throughout Europe and Russia during and after World War I. Book artists frequently addressed complex societal and political issues—a practice that continues to this day. Pratt’s “Art of the Book” studio course was originated in the 1970s by renowned German-born designer and artist Werner Pfeiffer, who taught

by Charlotte Savidge

at the Institute for more than three decades. The course was further developed by Adjunct Associate Professor of Fine Art Robbin Ami Silverberg to give students from a variety of disciplines the technical and conceptual abilities to create impactful works that push the limits of the form. In the pages that follow, five Pratt artists talk about their approach to book arts and recent works.

Anne Gilman Adjunct Associate Professor of Fine Art

“It plays with our conception of a book by opening the manuscript up onto a wall and allowing the viewer to experience it without literally ‘reading’ it.”

Anne Gilman is a Brooklyn-based artist whose work has been exhibited in solo and group shows in Latin America, Europe, and the United States and is held in public and private collections in London, Spain, Frankfurt, Australia, Cuba, Mexico, and the United States. She has received fellowships from the Edward Albee Foundation and the MacDowell Colony.

How did you become interested in making artists’ books?

When I was teaching at SUNY Purchase, I sat in on a book arts class that emphasized the connection between format and

content so the work would “read”as a whole conceptually. For me, this is critical.

What role has Pratt played in your development as a book artist?

While I don’t consider myself a “book artist” per se, teaching at Pratt and interacting with students is a very invigorating experience and continues to challenge and expand my thinking and my studio practice in general.

What ideas are you trying to present with The Mastermind y lo contrario?

This project is based on my partner David Unger’s most recent novel, The Mastermind. Although a political thriller, the novel addresses what I consider to be the big themes in life: loss, lack of control, unexpected occurrences, thinking you know something and then finding out maybe you don’t, all the unknowns, and the lack of predictability. The Mastermind y lo contrario focuses on these things that foster introspection and questioning.

Why did you choose to present these ideas in this format?

We wanted to use a nontraditional format and hung sections of the manuscript on

the wall to allow for viewer interaction.

We also wanted part of the work to be a counterpoint to that, with pages encased in a bolted plexiglass box, making them inaccessible to the viewer.

How does this piece play with our conception of a book?

While this piece uses actual pages of a book manuscript, it plays with our conception of a book by opening the manuscript up onto a wall and allowing the viewer to experience it without literally “reading” it. It is taken in first and foremost as a visual experience.

What was the most challenging aspect of creating this piece?

Deciding on the format. After that, there were questions about how to create the inaccessible section, which was essential to the work. It was David’s idea to bolt the manuscript. From there it was clear to me that I wanted a case that would contain both the bolted section and the wall work when it was collapsed and folded.

question how the form of the book prompts physical reading.

What is your definition of a book?

What ideas are you trying to present with HuaShiHua?

A book is a container for a text; it represents a narrative sequence or the disruption of that sequence. The physical and textual narrative of an artist’s book deepens the viewer/reader’s understanding or appreciation of the book’s subject matter.

How did you become interested in making artists’ books?

In the Pratt writing program, my professors introduced us to the chapbook genre, and I was excited by the idea of writing within the form of a book I could make myself. In the “Art of the Book” class, Robbin Ami Silverberg pressed us to

What role has Pratt played in your development as a book artist?

Pratt offers a unique environment for the liberal arts in that it is placed within a visual arts context. My writing studio at Pratt prompted me to consider my work as an addition to the writing tradition and in relation to the long history of writing traditions.

This piece is as much about production as it is about content. The bound manuscript, scrolls, and box of plates all illustrate the process and outcomes of my thinking.

Why did you choose to present these ideas in this format?

My production process and the book’s aesthetics are modeled after the process and publications of independent publishers in Suzhou in the Qing Dynasty, which operated under the assumption that a single person can produce a book in limited edition. While it seemed obvious

to me from the start that the poems end up as a bound manuscript, after learning about Suzhou’s publishing history and imagining these small press workshops in China, I felt that the scrolls and the box of plates and cut files used to create the book were also a part of the final work.

What did you enjoy most when creating this piece?

I enjoyed the constraints presented by my environment, communication capabilities, and the chase for material.

Where to find the silk fabric, how to say brocade in Mandarin, and what type of ink would be suitable. The solutions to these problems shaped my approach to editing the book’s content as the single producer of the work.

Tara Parsons M.F.A. Printmaking/New Forms ’06

“I’m interested in the interplay of the viewer and the art object.”

Tara Parsons is a resident artist at the Chashama studio in Harlem. Her interactive installations combine sculpture, drawing, and printmaking.

She has presented participatory projects in DUMBO, on Governors Island, and in Grand Central Terminal. Parsons has shown her work at Washington Square Windows and White Box Annex in Manhattan, McCaig Welles Gallery and Dam Stuhltrager in Brooklyn, the Rochester Contemporary in Rochester, the Annenberg Center in Philadelphia, Aljira in Newark, and the Medizinhistorisches Museum der Charite, in Berlin, Germany.

How did you become interested in making artists’ books?

I’m interested in the interplay of the viewer and the art object, which is important with my book projects and my installation work.

What role has Pratt played in your development as a book artist?

Pratt was integral because I was mentored

by Robbin Ami Silverberg. I appreciated how she moved between artists’ books and installations, particularly the work that

she did around the ideas of memory and forgetting. This, together with the encouragement of my New Forms pro-fessor, Robert Zakarian, inspired me to extend the idea of what mediums and forms could be art.

What ideas are you trying to present with Dental Records?

Dental Records deals with our individuality and how we are identified once we are gone. After the 2001 terrorist attacks, I was asked to collect my close friend’s dental records and bring them to the Medical Examiner’s office. The idea that these X-rays are the link to her identity was sobering.

Why did you choose to present these ideas in this particular format?

I originally tried this project as a single scroll, an ancient book form. In the end I decided to create 119 scrolls representing the number of victims that had been identified by their dental records at the time of research. As a group, the containers become symbolic headstones, standing in rows. Coincidentally, 119 is also the inverse of the date that the terrorist attacks happened.

Why do you consider this piece a “book”? How is it similar to what we typically think of as a “book”?

This piece is really a series of books— an installation of the whole edition.

Each dental floss dispenser contains a small scroll that tells the story of the dental records of a 9/11 victim and includes information on how the forensic dentists working in the Examiner’s office identify and make matches.

What was the most challenging aspect of creating this piece?

Technically, the most difficult part was silk-screening the floss containers.

But, in reality, the most challenging part was the emotional aspect of dealing with the loss of my friend and representing that part of this personal journey.

What did you enjoy most when creating this piece?

For my research for this project, I collaborated with a dentist who worked at the Medical Examiner’s office identifying 9/11 victims. His knowledge and technical contribution became part of the piece, and this connection I found interesting.

to the tools. Though I considered myself to be a sculptor and installation artist, I realized that the book as a structure for communication fit my sensibility, my love of paper, and my love of writing, image making, and sequencing ideas. It allowed me to focus on content at the same time as I could qualitatively produce the object that became its container.

What role has Pratt played in your development as a book artist?

What is your definition of a book?

My Pratt students are dynamic and exciting. Their unique perspectives have given me food for thought in my own practice, as we continue to exchange ideas.

An artist’s book is much more: It can be an artwork that references what a book is, or an artwork that uses aspects of a book such as sequence, pagination, binding, and reading. Regardless, it is a Gesamtwerk, a whole artwork every part of which is an element of the work of art.

What ideas are you trying to present with Abriss?

A book is a container of information; in many cultures, it is the container of the most precious information.

How did you become interested in making artists’ books?

While training in bookbinding and restoration in Vienna, I began to make artists’ books because I had easy access

This artist’s book edition is made up of the remains of hundreds of handmade flyers that I have posted throughout New York City since 2009. These postings offer viewers private, philosophical, or didactic information in locations where the postings are typically more commercial or mundane. In this way, they engage the viewer in a discourse on “private vs. public” disclosure. The title is taken from the German word for tear-off edge,

Abrisskante, and reflects the fact that pieces of the flyers get torn off between the time they are posted and when I collect them again.

Considering the format of your piece, what is the viewer’s relationship with the work?

The reader/viewer has an intimate and haptic relationship. The book has to be held and handled, pages felt and turned.

The handmade paper is hard and rattly, sometimes textured, sometimes translucent, certainly varied, and this all enhances the multisensorial possibilities of the book.

What were the most challenging and enjoyable aspects of creating this piece?

The move into the street. I usually conceive of the artist book as a completely choreographed artwork. In this case, at least 50 percent of the postings that would later become the book’s pages disappeared. This approach was liberating for my art practice and immensely enjoyable, but it made completing the edition a challenge.

“The sculptural possibilities of words and books screamed out to me.”

Rochelle Voyles is a Brooklyn-based visual artist who works with found object artifacts and words to create amalgamations of collage, drawing, paint, and text. Her works process complex emotional states, mechanical human interactions, mortality, and contemporary societal living. She currently works as a scenic artist, carpenter, and fabricator in the film, photography, and production world.

What is your definition of a book?

A book is an expression or transmission of information, which can take the form of words on paper glued or sewn together, or something as intangible as an hour of someone’s voice in a room.

How did you become interested in making artists’ books?

I found a tattered, water- and dirt-soaked pulp fiction novel on the street that was splayed out in the gutter. I picked it up and laid it in the sun for a day. Then I tacked it on my bedroom wall and it looked like a beaten-up accordion. The sculptural possibilities of words and books screamed out to me.

What role has Pratt played in your development as a book artist?

I took a class with Robbin Ami Silverberg at Pratt that presented techniques, exploration, and examination of the book as a sculpture, as an art piece. Through her class I was able to focus and study the medium and develop ideas for book structures.

What ideas are you trying to present with Sewn Roles?

I crafted this book while contemplating the traditional domestic roles of a woman and simultaneously learning how to use industrial sewing machines. The piece is a journey through the mind of a young woman imagining herself in the roles of wife and mother, and what those roles mean today in comparison to what they meant in the past.

Why did you choose to present these ideas in this particular format?

As a child I had a few cloth books such as The Ugly Duckling that were precious to me. I crafted this artist’s book in cloth to capture the same playfulness and whimsy and process the idea of being a mother and wife. The women in my family

enjoyed fiber crafts, and I connect these crafts with being a mother and the cycles of a woman’s life.

How were you envisioning the viewer when you conceived this work?

This book is intended to be hugged close, opened, dropped, hung up, forgotten, and then found again. It was created to be durable like children’s toys and living room rugs. I wanted the viewer to feel a warm energy from it like a hand-medown, and feel comfortable holding and examining it.

What was the most challenging aspect of creating this piece?

Deciding which aspect of motherhood, marriage, and domesticity each page would tackle and how to express each one with figure, form, drawing, and needlework/ fiber manipulation.

Pratt Faculty and Students Consider

the Changing Nature of Publications.

by Harris Solomon

22

P R AT T F O L IO

The idea of using the book as a container for information is thousands of years old.

But as recent shifts in technology have shown us, not even something with as much history as the book is beyond reinvention. Nearly 50 percent of Americans now own an e-reader, and more and more people are reading books using mobile devices. What does this mean for the nature of reading and book production?

And how does it impact our relationship to both the narrative form of the book and to the physical object itself?

Such a massive change brings with it far-reaching implications for how we conceptualize and make both digital and analog books, as well as how we preserve them and their content. Over the last few years, Pratt faculty, students, and alumni have been exploring our changing conception of the book in classes across the Institute on book production, preservation, and reading.

Beyond the Analog/Digital Divide

Adjunct Associate Professor of Digital Arts Linda Lauro-Lazin is questioning what constitutes the book itself. She teaches how the book can be both a digital and a physical object simultaneously in her combined graduate and undergraduate course “Artists’ Books in the Electronic Age.” Lauro-Lazin’s students create artists’ books that employ traditional book arts as well as digital components, practices, or inspirations. She teaches them to assume a digital mindset—a way to break beyond the confines of the physical object of the book and see how a book can occupy or exist in a variety of spaces. This crucial

concept is often difficult for students to grasp, as many have grown up with an understanding of the book as old media.

“The notion that we must choose between analog and digital is dangerous,” says Lauro-Lazin. “It creates a binary, when we really need to learn to fuse them together.

That is how books will continue to thrive.”

In Lauro-Lazin’s class, students are encouraged to bring together the digital and the analog for major assignments.

Some choose to design and brainstorm online before creating the book by hand, while others integrate digital components by developing digital “pages” or “chapters” accessed through QR codes or links.

This mash-up of cutting-edge technique with age-old tradition gets at the heart of the struggle for book artists, writers, designers, and archivists. How can we understand how digital and analog books will coexist in the long-term? According to Lauro-Lazin, by making objects that draw from opposite ends of the spectrum,

students begin to understand that different types of books live on in different ways.

“While the book as a traditional form has a lasting presence, the technology that students integrate is so fleeting that the books they create may very well not be ‘readable’ in the near future,” Lauro-Lazin points out. “In general, thinking about permanence of material is important, especially when creating a book that spans different media.”

Rethinking Content

The very idea that a book can span different media has been slow to gain acceptance, as technology has often been viewed as being in opposition to analog books. This has drawn a line in the sand between traditionalists and early adopters of new reading platforms.

In Pratt classrooms, students and faculty are contributing to the cultural shift in how we define written content and what can be contained within a book or text, a question that is at the heart of Assistant Professor Duncan Hamilton’s “Designing

24

P R AT T F O L IO

E-books” class in Undergraduate Communications Design. The class, which requires students to create a printed book, an enhanced e-book, and an interactive book app, emphasizes user experience and gives added value to the technological evolutions of the book. “In creating these forms, students are not just telling the story, but looking at the entirety of the experience,” says Hamilton. “The books are no longer just words, but have metanarratives and link to the wider data space.”

across Media.” Through writing and reading in nontraditional media, Obadike’s students turn the notion of poetry itself on its head. Obadike introduces her students to poetry in the form of dance performances, sculptures, and font samples. “It’s changing what it means to be literate,” she says. “There is a much greater use of images and sounds as a way of collecting and sharing ideas.”

In Hamilton’s view, the book itself can play a more active role in engaging the reader.

Whereas in the past, narratives relied on writing alone, advances in e-books and interactive apps have allowed everything from charts to figures to become interactive features. “The e-book is a more fluid form, and it’s updatable,” clarifies Duncan.

“In many ways, thanks to this technology, the book is now a living thing.”

The changing nature of writing and book production has brought with it sweeping implications for the collecting and sharing of ideas that Obadike mentions, as well as for the preservation of books. This is a challenge that faculty at Pratt’s School of Information and Library Science has worked enthusiastically to address in the classroom. Since the rise of digitization, the process of converting analog media to digital files, faculty and students have worked to find new ways to keep both digital and analog books alive. That entails staying informed about the latest strategies for publishing in the digital landscape,

The organic nature of text and narrative is something that Assistant Professor of Humanities Mendi Obadike stresses in her undergraduate class “Poetry

Objects of Reference versus Reverence

something School of Information and Library Science Dean Tula Giannini teaches in “E-publishing and Digital Scholarship,” a special summer course in London taught in collaboration with faculty at Kings College London. In a similar vein, Associate Professor of Information and Library Science Anthony Cocciolo teaches budding archivists to be strategic about digitization, encouraging students to understand the benefits, as well as the limitations, of using technology for preservation. In his “Projects in Digital Archives” class, students collaborate with a range of institutions to digitize collections of analog materials that had previously been available to the general public in limited capacities, if at all.

While the delicate nature of rare books can restrict access, Cocciolo thinks that there can be drawbacks to mass digitization and the preservation of online texts. “People in the field are starting to realize that digital-born books are at greater risk than the rare books [e-books],” Cocciolo explains. “With the proper handling and storage conditions, books made of

P R AT T F O L IO

paper can last hundreds of years. However, few organizations have developed the capacity for long-term preservation of digital-born books.”

“It’s changing what it means to be literate.”

This conundrum has implications well beyond the classroom that current students need to consider as they begin careers in preservation. Discerning how to best preserve both digital and analog content is exactly what many alumni, including Michael Inman (M.L.S. ’02), Curator of Rare Books at the New York Public Library, are trying to do. Inman is tasked with balancing the growing need for digitization with the desire to preserve the physical form of the book. While this seems to be a question of two opposing resources, “there wouldn’t be digitization if these materials didn’t exist in the first place,” Inman says of analog books. “At its inception, the book was nearly perfect as a piece of communications technology, and it hasn’t really improved much

in 2000 years. You can’t say that about much, other than the wheel.”

Inman sees digitization as an opportunity to allow library patrons to interact with analog books in new ways. By scanning and making text fully searchable online, the content in analog books can be repurposed for online databases or digital humanities courses, giving digitized content some of the enhanced features that distinguish digital-born books from their printed counterparts. “That allows for manipulation of information in ways that weren’t previously possible.”

What the Future Holds

While we don’t know how the millions of books produced for e-readers, or the technology itself, will fare over the next few years, it seems unlikely that digital technology will edge out traditional books. The Pratt community has found unique ways to emphasize the benefits of each form, giving new life to content across all forms of media.

25

Still, as Inman points out, each book form produces experiences that are difficult to replicate outside of that medium, from the enhanced content of an e-book to the tactile experience of encountering a rare book for the first time.

“There is no question that technology has opened a lot of doors for us,” he says.

“But still, there’s something about handling a book that is hardwired into the human brain. I’ve had researchers cry when they first encounter the book they’re looking for.

It’s an experience that can’t be replicated, one that makes sense on an intuitive level.

Until we can have a similar experience in the digital world, I don’t think the book as we know it is going anywhere.”

Since it was first published in 1919, the Prattonia yearbook has epitomized the individualistic spirit and collaborative atmosphere for which Pratt Institute is known. The student-designed yearbook is often most remembered for its format, which has ranged from a traditional book to a series of full-size posters to a time capsule in a coffee can.

As with most successful artists’ books, Prattonia’s form reflects the overall concept that the Pratt student design teams develop each year to create lasting mementos of the Pratt experience.

1978

Prattfolio consulted with Pratt archivist Paul Schlotthauer and current Prattonia adviser Michael Kelly (B.F.A. Communications Design ’96) to identify some of the many issues of Prattonia that have captured the spirit of their time—and of Pratt.

1992

1923*

One of the earliest issues of Prattonia, this volume captures the Art Nouveau sensibilities of the time, particularly through the typography and illustrations engraved on the cover.

1935*

The cover of the 1935 Prattonia features an embossed leather Art Deco design reflecting the style for which the era is known.

1948*

Prattonia advisory committee member and undergraduate communications design faculty member Michael Kelly (B.F.A. Communications Design ’96) notes that the contemporary Pratt sensibility is already apparent in this issue.

1952*

This issue of Prattonia features illustrations that convey the Mid-Century Modern aesthetic that is still so strongly associated with the ’50s. *Pictured on previous spread

1967*

A boxed series of posters created by George Delmerico (B.F.A. Advertising Design ’67) and Nicole Archer (B.F.A. Communications Design ’67), this issue is part of the Museum of Modern Art’s library collection. Kelly says, “There’s a joy to opening the box, unfolding to reveal something—or someone—you have forgotten, then returning it to the box. It’s almost like going through a box of old cards or letters. One cannot flip through it the way one can a book, and I love that about it.”

1978

Designed by Sharon Gresh (B.F.A. Communications Design ’78) and Michael McGinn (Communications Design ’78), this inventive issue of Prattonia includes a magazine featuring original illustrations by 22 Pratt students and a series of postcards with photography by 15.

A team of nine Pratt student copywriters developed the text. As the credits page reads, “Whew! It’s a book!”

1980 1980

Created by James Best (B.F.A. Communications Design ’80), Peter Campbell (B.F.A. Communications Design ’80), Lynn Golden (B.F.A. Communications Design ’80), Karen Loccisano (B.F.A. Communications Design ’80), Gregg Lukasiewicz (B.F.A. Communications Design ’80), Miriam Nerlove (M.F.A. Fine Arts ’82), Sharon Occhipihti (B.F.A. Communications Design ’82), Gary Sitomer (B.F.A. Communications Design ’80), Jeffrey Winter (B.F.A. Communications Design ’80), and Jeff Zack (B.F.A. Communications Design ’82), the 1980 issue of Prattonia used Colorforms’ plastic Stick-Ons™, allowing yearbook viewers to create their own campus scenes.

1992

Harris Forman (B.F.A. Communications Design ’92) and Heather MacKay (B.F.A. Communications Design ’92) devised the time capsule concept for the 1992 Prattonia, which included a booklet, Prattonia T-shirt, and New York City subway and bus maps, as well as plastic roaches, all contained in a metal canister.

2008

In 2008, design team members Ellie Clayman (B.F.A. Communications Design ’08), Elizabeth Dilk (B.F.A. Communications Design ’08), Andrew W. Kay (B.F.A. Communications Design ’08), Collin Lewis (B.F.A. Communications Design ’08), and Kaitlyn Pepe (B.F.A. Communications Design ’08) took an anthropological approach to Pratt students and faculty in creating An Institute of Modesty and Convention. One of the most popular and acclaimed issues of Prattonia ever, An Institute of Modesty and Convention earned the design team the 2008 HOW International Design Competition Merit award, and was also featured in Print Magazine’s 2009 Regional Design Annual and in ID Magazine’s 2009 Annual Design Review.

2014

The 2014 Prattonia illustrates the role that the concept plays in developing both the format and the content.

Wanting to portray Pratt as a unified whole that encompasses many different views, design team members Robert Blair (B.F.A. Communications Design ’14), Thomas Colligan (B.F.A. Communications Design ’15), and Kurt Woerpel (B.F.A. Communications Design ’14) created a series of booklets contained in a slipcase. This format allowed the team to use different documentation methods for each booklet, making each one distinctive and giving the entire piece a degree of variety that reflects the Pratt campus community.

Institute’s New Catalog Covers Feature Winning Design by Student Christina Hillman

U.S. News & World Report Ranks Pratt One of the Region’s Top 20 Colleges

They say you can’t judge a book by its cover, but if you could, the 2014-15 graduate and undergraduate course catalogs for prospective students would score high marks. They feature covers designed by Christina Hillman (B.F.A. Communications Design, Class of ’15), who was named winner of the Pratt Institute Catalog Cover Design Competition held last spring. The contest challenged students in the Undergraduate Communications Design Department to submit covers for the 2014-15 catalogs.

Robert Blair (B.F.A. Communications Design, ’14) and Chantal Persad (B.F.A. Communications Design, Class of ’15) were selected as runners-up.

Pratt Institute ranked 19th out of 181 peer institutions in U.S. News & World Report’s “Regional Universities North” category this year, rising from number 20 in the same category last year.

For the third year in a row, Pratt was the only independent college of art and design to place in this category.

Hillman’s winning design features a hand-drawn illustration that incorporates the Institute’s motto, “Be true to your work and your work will be true to you.” “I viewed the catalog as an invitation to join the Pratt family and wanted to create a hand-done invitation,” said Hillman, whose cover illustrations were created without the use of digital tools.

Kathleen Creighton, chair of the Undergraduate Communications Design Department, partnered with the creative services team in Pratt’s Office of Communications and Marketing and the Division of Enrollment to organize the contest.

According to U.S. News & World Report, the “Best Colleges 2015″ rankings compare the relative quality of institutions based on widely accepted indicators of excellence such as freshman retention, strength of faculty, and graduation rates.

Pratt Ranked Number One College of Art and Design for Salaries of Graduates PayScale’s “2014-15 College Salary Report” has ranked Pratt Institute first in its “Art and Design Schools by Salary Potential (Bachelor’s Degree Only)” category, ahead of 15 other peer institutions. The rankings are based on actual median salaries for graduates who received a bachelor’s degree from the institutions listed. PayScale is a Seattle-based company with a database containing more than 40 million salary profiles.

Its annual “College Salary Report” ranks colleges on alumni earnings. The data used in the report is collected through an ongoing, online compensation survey.

Pratt Institute’s Brooklyn Fashion + Design Accelerator Debuts New Facility for Design and Fashion Start-Ups

Legends 2014 Gala Raises More than $760,000 for Student Scholarships

More than 500 people gathered to celebrate the opening of Pratt Institute’s Brooklyn Fashion + Design Accelerator (BF+DA) at a November opening reception attended by government and industry leaders, including New York State Senator Martin J. Golden and former Brooklyn Borough President Marty Markowitz.

Launched last year, the BF+DA aims to provide high-potential start-ups with the resources necessary to establish viable businesses. Supported with funding from Pratt Institute, the State of New York, and the Office of the Brooklyn Borough President, the BF+DA provides workspace for 30 design-oriented start-ups, among them numerous New York City Venture Fellows. Debera Johnson (B.I.D. ’86), executive director, founded the BF+DA following the success of the Pratt Design Incubator for Sustainable Innovation, which has helped create more than 30 new companies and dozens of jobs since its inception in 2002.

Attendees at the opening had the opportunity to meet Venture Fellows, tour the workspaces, and view the array of resources available in the facility.

School of Architecture Professor Signe Nielsen Guides Design of New York City’s High Line Park Signe Nielsen (B.S. Construction Management ’01), professor of landscape architecture, urban design, and environmental planning in Pratt’s School of Architecture, played a vital role in leading the High Line’s third phase to completion. As president of the New York City Public Design Commission (PDC), the commission responsible for overseeing design aspects of public projects, and an award-winning landscape architect, Nielsen has had an integral role in shaping the acclaimed park’s landscape design since the project’s inception.

Pratt Institute’s Legends 2014 gala was held in November at the Mandarin Oriental and raised more than $700,000 in advance and an additional $60,000 in pledges at the event to benefit student scholarships.

The glamorous gala honored style icon and designer Iris Apfel, PAPER magazine co-founder and editor-in-chief Kim Hastreiter, and designer and CEO David Yurman. Legends 2014 was chaired by Pratt Trustee Emeritus Bruce M. Newman (B.F.A. Interior Design ’53) and his wife, Judith, and Pratt Trustee David Walentas and his wife, Jane.

The evening’s awards—created by senior industrial design student Chengtao Yi— were presented by acclaimed Nigerian fashion designer Duro Olowu (Iris Apfel); award-winning author, model, and host of Bravo’s Emmy-winning television series Top Chef, Padma Lakshmi (Kim Hastreiter); and Sainsbury Center for Visual Arts director Paul Greenhalgh (David Yurman).

Alumni and Friends Gather around the Globe In a continuing effort to expand outreach to alumni and friends around the world, Pratt Regional Network events were held in Atlanta at the Oglethorpe University Museum of Art and in New Canaan, Connecticut, at the home of Adjunct Graduate Communications Design Professor Bill Hilson and his wife, Barbara.

Additionally, Pratt Institute President Thomas F. Schutte and his wife, Tess L. Schutte, joined gatherings in Seoul, Korea, and Rio de Janeiro, Brazil.

In addition, the Recent Alumni Committee, which offers programs of interest to graduates of the last decade, held networking receptions at Pratt Manhattan Gallery and Wix Lounge, and a behind-the-scenes tour of the New York Public Library’s Stephen A. Schwarzman Building.

Students Create Work and Exhibition at Pratt Manhattan Gallery to Celebrate The Wall Street Journal’s 125th Anniversary

Student Winners of Third Annual Pratt/ Hennessy V.S Competition Join Artist Shepard Fairey for Panel in Los Angeles

Eleven students took part in an initiative to create work that celebrated the rich history and future innovations of The Wall Street Journal (WSJ), which commemorated its 125th anniversary in July. The resulting works, which stem from a partnership between Pratt and WSJ parent company Dow Jones, were on display in a summer exhibition titled Pratt Celebrates 125 Years of The Wall Street Journal.

This summer, two communications design students discussed their work with renowned street artist Shepard Fairey and other art world leaders as part of a salon series in Los Angeles, sponsored by Hennessy and organized by Pratt’s Office of Strategic Partnerships and Institutional Support. The students, Eduardo Palma (M.F.A. Communications Design ’15) and Lillian Ling (M.F.A. Communications Design ’15), finished in first and third place in the third annual Pratt/Hennessy V.S competition, in which nine Pratt students from a variety of disciplines were challenged to create works of art influenced by Hennessy’s mantra, “Never stop. Never settle.”

The students, whose diverse backgrounds, disciplines, and interests embody the worldwide influence of the Journal, created work in their chosen medium, taking inspiration from one or more of eight themes provided by WSJ parent company Dow Jones.

The themes ranged from technology’s impact on media consumption to the evolution of the Journal from 1889’s four-page newsletter to the global news-gathering powerhouse it is today.

A portrait series in the style of WSJ’s signature hand-drawn stipple illustrations, or hedcuts, by Michael Levin (M.F.A. ’15) was selected to go on permanent display in Dow Jones’s corporate office in New York as a result of the initiative, which was overseen by Eric O’Toole, adjunct assistant professor of graduate communications design, and organized by Pratt’s Office of Strategic Partnerships and Institutional Support.

Palma and Ling’s winning works were displayed during a private two-day salon series at the Ralph Pucci International Showroom in the Design District of Los Angeles, where a panel discussed the future of art and the role of collaboration between artists, brands, and institutions. The designers presented and discussed their pieces with guests including Fairey and fellow street artist Futura, alumnus and artist Derrick Adams (B.F.A. Art and Design Education ’96), and Saatchi Art CEO Sean Moriarty.

Second-place winner and fine arts student Eden Daniell’s (B.F.A. Fine Art Jewelry ’14) folding silver ring design was also on display at the Pucci showroom.

Barnes & Noble Debuts New Pratt-Designed Back-to-School Collection

Organic Matter, an exhibition of innovative knitwear created

by Pratt fashion students last fall in collaboration with Ralph Pucci International, traveled to the Delano Las Vegas, a new boutique hotel in Las Vegas, gaining further national exposure after displays in New York and Dallas. Among the students whose work was on display was Claire McKinney (B.F.A. Fashion Design, Class of ’15), who traveled to Las Vegas for the show conceived by Pucci and Timothy Opsomer, Vice President of Visual Merchandising and Store Planning for MGM Resorts Retail.

For the sixth year in a row, Pratt collaborated with Barnes & Noble to bring a collection of Pratt Institute student-designed products to more than 400 Barnes & Noble stores nationwide, as well as online at BN.com. This fall’s “For Students by Students” collection of journals, notebooks, pencil cases, and other backto-school items was designed by a group of 10 students working toward their master’s degrees at Pratt, as part of an ongoing partnership with Barnes & Noble. Under the leadership of Pratt faculty adviser Professor Thomas Dolle, the student designers created unique designs that appeal to students in high school, college, and beyond. This year’s products feature eye-catching graphics, including colorful mirrored sunglasses and black-andwhite computer symbols.

Created in partnership with Pratt Trustee Ralph Pucci, who is renowned for his high-end mannequin, lighting, furniture, and sculpture company Ralph Pucci International, Organic Matter is the result of a challenge to reimagine the form, function, and design of knitwear as fine art. Ranging from elegant sheaths to artfully crafted crocheted scarves, the pieces reflect a cuttingedge approach to knitwear, with each one illustrating a different forward-thinking approach to woven design.

Recent Jewelry Graduates Exhibit and Sell Work at Museum of Arts and Design Three recent graduates of the studio jewelry program were invited to sell their works at LOOT: MAD about Jewelry, an annual juried jewelry sale and exhibition held at the Museum of Arts and Design (MAD), in October.

LOOT: MAD about Jewelry featured the creations of 50 emerging and acclaimed jewelry artists from around the world, including Shuoyuan Bai (B.F.A. Jewelry ’14), Lisa Lee (B.F.A. Jewelry ’14), and Lauren Pineda (B.F.A. Jewelry ’14). This was the third time that Pratt students have participated in LOOT: Mad about Jewelry.

FINAL THOUGHTS Of Books and Bytes

by Andrew W. Barnes, Dean, School of Liberal Arts and Sciences

A few years ago, a friend of mine engaged in an extensive renovation of her apartment. She is a writer and an avid reader. Along one wall was a large, 12-foot by eight-foot built-in bookcase filled with the work that has influenced her writing career and her life.

During the renovation, though, she reached the decision to do away with the bookcase completely, recycling the paperbacks and moving valuable hardbacks to a smaller space in her home office.

Her reasoning was simple: with the ability to electronically store a large number of books on her tablet, she saw no need to keep the physical duplicates around.

I sympathize with her. I never go to a bookstore anymore to buy a book. Instead, when someone recommends a good read, I pull out my phone, search for it electronically, and download it right there. On my long subway rides to and from work, I read these books on my phone, which is far less cumbersome than hauling a paper book around.

Years ago, I gave up on the romantic idea that many bibliophiles hold about the tactile engagement with a material book: the weight, the smell of the ink, the physical act of turning a page. In my creative practice, I used to handwrite everything and then transcribe my writing into Word.

But I’ve given up that practice as well and now compose directly on the computer, or my tablet, or even my phone.

The digital age has affected the production, manufacturing, and distribution of books, for better and for worse. More writers can get their books out to the public, either through traditional publishing houses that produce digital books, or through selfpublishing, which is gaining a legitimate presence in the book world. But the production of literature has been concentrated in the hands of a few mega-publishers

that can monopolize the market and control the fee that is paid to writers.

E-books give more people access to books because of their convenience. And yet, the e-business has put many bookstores and small presses out of business.

My biggest concern about the e-revolution in the literary world, though, is that it has created much more “noise” via a proliferation of books that anyone can write and put online. Frankly, most of these books are not very good. There is a lot of clutter out there, which is ironic, especially given my friend’s desire to de-clutter her apartment by getting rid of physical books.

If e-books were supposed to make our lives easier, they have also made it more difficult to find the literary gems among all the junk.

But still, I favor the e-book for its convenience and portability. And as with any art today, I believe that really good work will rise above the static that is inevitably produced when technology expands the access and reach of any cultural product.

We readers, though, may have to look a little harder to find it.

Creativity begins with The Fund for Pratt.

The Fund for Pratt begins with you. If each of Pratt’s

40,000+ alumni gave just $50 this year, together we’d raise over $2,000,000, enough to pay for:*

500 study abroad programs, or

books for 1,000 students, or

100 faculty projects and initiatives, or

200 President’s Scholarships

Make your gift today. Visit www.pratt.edu/give or call 718.636.3576 to learn more about giving to The Fund for Pratt. * Items listed are for illustration purposes and do not indicate actual Fund for Pratt allocations.

The Fund for Pratt

HONOR ROLL A letter from Board Chair Bruce Gitlin

On behalf of the Board of Trustees, it is my great pleasure to acknowledge each of the generous donors who made gifts to Pratt Institute in the past fiscal year. From recent graduates, proud parents, and alumni leaders to prominent foundations, corporations, and government agencies, each of the individuals and organizations listed on the pages that follow plays an integral role in enabling Pratt to offer the highest-quality education to the creative visionaries who will shape our future.

This year we have seen many exciting changes on Pratt’s Brooklyn campus. First and foremost, the much-anticipated reopening of Main Building allowed students, faculty, and staff to return to the Institute’s signature historic structure, which now features stunning new studio and classroom spaces as well as a green roof. In addition, thanks to the generosity of Pratt Trustee Emeritus Bruce M. Newman (B.F.A. ’53), extensive landscaping has transformed the Engineering Quadrangle, which, along with the Newman Mall, has become one of the most beautiful and inspiring outdoor locations on campus.

By providing essential unrestricted resources that can be allocated wherever they are needed most, The Fund for Pratt impacts the entire Institute community every day.

I am excited to report that parent participation in The Fund for Pratt reached an alltime high this past fiscal year. At the same time, we were delighted to welcome record numbers of donors into the Institute’s Leadership Society, which recognizes individuals who have made gifts of $1,000 or more. In addition to the increases in Leadership Society giving, this year 477 individuals made their first gift ever to The Fund for Pratt, which provided essential resources for scholarships, study abroad, and teaching and learning excellence. The increased participation in The Fund for Pratt represents a tremendous vote of confidence in the Institute’s mission and activities, and I am deeply grateful for this wonderful show of support.

Again, to everyone who has played a part in our success, thank you for your generosity.

I look forward to our continued partnership on behalf of this remarkable institution.

With best wishes,

Bruce J. Gitlin Chair, Board of Trustees
