SUMMARY:Jock Peters\, Architecture and Design: The Varieties of Modernism
DESCRIPTION:THIS EVENT HAS BEEN RESCHEDULED FOR APRIL 25 AT 4 PM. \n          Christopher Long.                 \nRetail design\, fashion merchandising\, set design\, furniture\, packaging\, interiors\, architecture\, fine art rendering… little-known architect and designer Jock Peters\, a largely forgotten figure of early Los Angeles modernism\, did it all. Professor Christopher Long presents his new book titled Jock Peters\, Architecture and Design: The Varieties of Modernism by Bauer and Dean Publishers. The book is a visually rich portrait of an architect whose most internationally lauded creations include the lavish commercial interiors for the iconic Bullock’s Wilshire store in Los Angeles and the tragically forgotten Hollander department store in New York City. \nAmong Peters’s early work in Germany are the Levantehaus and Karstadt department stores\, a magnificent glass pavilion from 1916\, and his work for Peter Behrens after the war. But\, the architect’s most accomplished and compelling work came after 1922 when he settled in Southern California. \nLong’s study on early modernism includes material from the architect’s personal archive\, still in family hands. The remarkable images in the book—more than 250 historic photographs\, etchings\, watercolors\, and drawings—alongside Long’s narrative\, demonstrate how Peters\, despite his early death\, managed to leave his mark on the modernist landscape in Southern California at a time when the new style was just emerging. \nChristopher Long is Martin S. Kermacy Centennial Professor of Architectural History at the University of Texas at Austin. He has published widely on modern architecture and design in Central Europe and the United States. \nTHIS EVENT HAS BEEN CANCELED; IT HAS BEEN RESCHEDULED FOR APRIL 25. Visit the new listing.

SUMMARY:Film Screening: 'Till' and Q&A with Writer/Executive Producer Keith Beauchamp
DESCRIPTION:  \nBased on the true story of Mamie Till-Mobley\, Till depicts her pursuit of justice after the murder of her 14-year-old son Emmett in 1955. The film uses 27 years’ worth of research by Keith Beauchamp\, whose efforts led to the reopening of Till’s case by the United States Department of Justice in 2004. Directed by Chinonye Chukwu\, the film stars Danielle Deadwyler as Mamie Till-Bradley\, with Jalyn Hall\, Frankie Faison\, Haley Bennett\, and Whoopi Goldberg in supporting roles. \nThe tale of Emmett Till and his legacy is a true story of black resistance that kickstarted the battle for civil rights in America. According to Beauchamp\, who co-wrote and produced the film\, “There is no other story that speaks more to this generation and to this political climate and racial climate of this country than the story of Emmett Louis Till.” \nProfessor Dahlia Schweitzer\, from FIT’s Film and Media program\, will moderate a conversation with writer and executive producer Keith Beauchamp following the film. \nThe screening will take place in Room D207\, FIT’s screening room\, in the Pomerantz Center\, on the campus of FIT. \nSponsored by FIT’s Social Justice Center\, FIT’s Film and Media Program\, the School of Liberal Arts\, and the Justice Film Festival. \nThis event is free and open to the public; RESERVE A FREE TICKET ON EVENTBRITE.

SUMMARY:Jock Peters\, Architecture and Design: The Varieties of Modernism [Rescheduled]
DESCRIPTION:THIS EVENT HAS BEEN RESCHEDULED FOR MAY 2. Find the new listing here.  \n          Christopher Long.                 \nRetail design\, fashion merchandising\, set design\, furniture\, packaging\, interiors\, architecture\, fine art rendering… little-known architect and designer Jock Peters\, a largely forgotten figure of early Los Angeles modernism\, did it all. Professor Christopher Long presents his new book titled Jock Peters\, Architecture and Design: The Varieties of Modernism by Bauer and Dean Publishers. The book is a visually rich portrait of an architect whose most internationally lauded creations include the lavish commercial interiors for the iconic Bullock’s Wilshire store in Los Angeles and the tragically forgotten Hollander department store in New York City. \nAmong Peters’s early work in Germany are the Levantehaus and Karstadt department stores\, a magnificent glass pavilion from 1916\, and his work for Peter Behrens after the war. But\, the architect’s most accomplished and compelling work came after 1922 when he settled in Southern California. \nLong’s study on early modernism includes material from the architect’s personal archive\, still in family hands. The remarkable images in the book—more than 250 historic photographs\, etchings\, watercolors\, and drawings—alongside Long’s narrative\, demonstrate how Peters\, despite his early death\, managed to leave his mark on the modernist landscape in Southern California at a time when the new style was just emerging. \nChristopher Long is Martin S. Kermacy Centennial Professor of Architectural History at the University of Texas at Austin. He has published widely on modern architecture and design in Central Europe and the United States. \nThis event was originally scheduled for April 18; this date has been rescheduled for May 2. Here is the new listing.  \nThis virtual event is free and open to the public; a Webex link will be provided shortly.

SUMMARY:Merchants of Style: Art and Fashion After Warhol
DESCRIPTION:Please join us for an event to launch Merchants of Style: Art and Fashion After Warhol on Tuesday\, May 9. Natasha Degen\, chair of Art Market Studies\, will discuss her new book with curator and faculty member Alexandra Schwartz at 6 pm. A reception will follow. \nMerchants of Style explores the accelerating convergence of art and fashion\, looking at the interplay of artists and designers—and the role of institutions\, both public and commercial—that has brought about this marriage of aesthetic industries. Degen argues that one figure more than any other anticipated this moment: Andy Warhol. \nBeginning with an overview of art and fashion’s deeply entwined histories before picking up where Warhol left off\, Merchants of Style tells the story of art’s emboldened forays into commerce and fashion’s growing embrace of art. As the two industries draw closer together than ever before\, this book addresses urgent questions about what the future holds. \nDegen recently published a guest essay in The New York Times related to Merchants of Style titled “The Met Gala\, or When Fashion Consumes Art.”  \nThis event is free and open to the public; REGISTRATION IS REQUIRED.

SUMMARY:Exhibition: Designing Women: Fashion Creators and Their Interiors — Closes
DESCRIPTION:Paquin\, evening cape\, pink silk chiffon and metal sequins\, 1897\, France\, museum purchase\, P83.19.7\nNovember 30–May 14\, 2023\nFashion and Textile History Gallery \nModern female fashion designers ardently incorporated interior decoration into their professional and personal lives. This phenomenon became increasingly evident beginning in the late nineteenth century\, as more women founded important couture houses in Paris\, London and New York. At the same time\, the field of interior decoration became a viable profession\, thanks in large part to innovative ladies on both sides of the Atlantic. \nDesigning Women: Fashion Creators and Their Interiors is the first exhibition to explore the connection between these disciplines. Approximately 70 garments from The Museum at FIT’s permanent collection will be on view alongside photographic images of the most compelling interiors created for leading female fashion designers from the 1890s to the 1970s. Featured creators include Jeanne Paquin\, Lucile\, Jeanne Lanvin\, Madeleine Vionnet\, Pauline Potter (later Baroness Pauline de Rothschild)\, and many others. \nPresented chronologically\, the selection of objects and images will include a diverse range of spaces\, from luxe couture salons and modest ateliers to private homes. Together the fashions and photographs will address how and why interior decoration became such an integral part of fashion’s leading designing women. \nThis exhibition is free and open to the public.

SUMMARY:Making Your Own Magic: An Evening with Anna Kloots
DESCRIPTION:Join us for a discussion with New York Times bestselling author and alumna Anna Kloots. In conjunction with the release of her new memoir\, My Own Magic: A Reappearing Act\, Kloots will be sharing her inspiring story about rediscovering the magic inside oneself and how travel can transform you\, inspire you\, and even save you. \nThere will be a post-conversation reception in celebration of Grad Week for students and the FIT community. \nAnna Kloots is a New York Times bestselling author who always dreamed of being a Disney princess. Her writing candidly reflects on her travels\, relationships\, failures\, and fantasies\, and it may inspire you to move to Paris\, as she did. Kloots can usually be found writing and sipping champagne on a cafe terrace\, rain or shine\, and she is always on the hunt for a warm baguette\, a cheap flight\, a vintage dress\, or a beautiful moment to snap a shot of. She is currently working on adapting Live Your Life\, the memoir she wrote with her sister\, into a screenplay. You can keep up with all her latest adventures on instagram\, check out her photography\, or visit her website. \nThis event is free and open the public; REGISTER ONLINE.
