Central Coast Modern / Ackerman Documentary
Lecture Series & Documentary Screening
Join the Museum of Ventura County on Saturday, January 25, 2020 from 2—4:00PM for an afternoon about modernist design, fine arts and crafts, and the creative individuals who made a lasting impact in design history.
First, Guest Curators Eric Huff, Jordan Downs and Steve Aldana will participate in an insightful conversation with the Museum’s Chief Curator Anna Bermudez about their collaboration on the California Cool: Mid-century Modernism on the Central Coast exhibit.
Following the discussion, Laura Ackerman-Shaw will share recollections about her parents’ personal and professional lives that intertwined during their 64-year marriage. Through their combined complementary talents and temperaments, the Ackermans forged a prolific partnership that produced a wide range of timeless designs including ceramics, mosaics, tapestries, woodcarvings, and hardware, an unusual cross-disciplinary approach for designer-craftsmen.

Anna Puigjaner—MAIO The LTR looks perfect there.

"Soft Schindler uses the concept of softness to encourage a politics of re-evaluation: If this space/sculpture/material isn’t what was first assumed, what other assumptions need challenging?"

Streamline / Point Loma
Happy New Year. I've been slacking off. I haven't been shopping much and didn't take any holiday trips. So how about some cruise ship architecture with a great streamline modern house in Point Loma that nobody seems to know much about.
If you know the architect, reach out.

As seen in Craft Horizons, the bottle won first prize at the 1958 Young Americans exhibition.
The exhibition was put on by the American Craftsmen's Council and Museum of Contemporary Crafts. If you're keeping score, Val Cushing won second prize and an honorable mention for John Mason, with third prize.
