An RSVP does not hold you a seat.
For one special night in New York City, Marian Bantjes will take the stage to speak a bit about fate - or lack thereof - and the evolution of her career all the way up and through the writing and illuminating of her just-published book I Wonder.Before Marian gets started, Paula Scher will prep us all with a bit of insight to the impact that Marian has had on our industry. Don't miss this event. It will be unforgettable. For a little insight to Marian's charming perspective on things, take her thoughts on being Canadian for example:"I'm Canadian, and I love being Canadian. I love being self-deprecating even though Americans see it as a sign of weakness. I love being politically left of center (actually, quite far left, if you must know). I love being honest, and nice and polite and caring and kind. (Although sometimes I really do wish I could be a total bitch without feeling guilty about it.) I’m amused by my own respect for authority and rule-following instincts."Or her view on her career to this point:"These days I call myself a lapsed Graphic Designer. This is largely untrue, but in my struggle to redefine myself it’s helpful to cast off the old me in the search of the new. I have a ton of experience in typesetting and design, but it wasn’t until I started doing this other thing in 2004 that I began to find the thing that is me in the act of what I do. Does that make sense? Am I successful? Yes. In terms of how I feel about what I make and why I do it. In terms of the acclaim and attention I feel far more worthwhile than I did when I ran a graphic design firm. Am I rich? No."Marian's forthrightness and self-deprecation bely her mind-blowing client list, which includes but is not limited to Saks Fifth Avenue, Stefan Sagmeister, Michael Bierut/Pentagram, the AIGA, Winterhouse, Bruce Mau Design, Rick Valicenti (Thirst), Print Magazine, wired, The New York Times, Wallpaper, The Guardian, seed, FontShop, Houghton-Mifflin, Little, Brown & Co., Knopf Books, and Young & Rubicam Chicago.Come checkout all the other contradictions that make up Ms. Bantjes. And leave with your own copy of I Wonder, which will be available for purchase at the event.

The Slow Motion Show Opening Night Event!
| Date: | Tuesday, July 6, 2010 |
| Time: | 6:00pm - 8:00pm |
| Location: | Visual Arts Gallery |
| Street: | 601 West 26 St. (between 11th Ave & West Side hwy) |
| City/Town: | New York, NY |
The Slow Motion Show is a thesis collaboration between three design students:
Kirstin Huber, Louis Liu and Kevin Wang.
The show contains several self-curated, self-produced art pieces.
Please join us for the opening night event of our thesis show! We've been working on this for almost a year and now all of our hard work (and your help!) is about to pay off!
The Slow Motion Show is a synthesis of different points of view and forms of design thinking. The content of the show interprets slow motion as a device used to reveal the unnoticed. The purpose of this show is to present a broader viewpoint of simple moments, in order to better understand their importance.
The pieces in the show range in medium--from video projections, to hand-written letters, to performance art. We've revealed some interesting interpretations of "slow motion" in an unexpected way.
If you can't make it to the spectacular opening night event--your loss--but the show will be up until August 14, so please stop by the next time you're out in Chelsea!
Thanks again to everyone who contributed to our Kickstarter to help make this event possible! ♥
