It’s hard to follow some of our recent posts – especially some very well written pieces by Jenny and Kate. But I must, and today the focus is European Design. It’s shaping up to be a pretty decent weekend in Indianapolis. Around the IMA, lots of us are preparing for the arrival of all-star designers, scholars, designophiles, students, playas, and many more. European Design Since 1985: Shaping the New Century kicks off tonight with the opening party. Tomorrow and Saturday will be dedicated to the European Design Symposium – a collection of speakers ranging from Alberto Alessi, IMA’s own R. Craig Miller, matali crassat, Jerszy Seymour and lots more. And of course there is the exhibition itself – 250 works of incredible, daring, surreal, beautiful design. And this is all happening in Indianapolis!!!!

European Design Symposium – With a brand new price of just $100 for the public and $50 for students, this deal is just too good not to recommend. I’m going just to hear Rolf Fehlbaum talk about chairs. Check this blurb of the official blurb…
“Join designers, critics, scholars, manufacturers, dealers and students for a lively examination of the present and future of European decorative and industrial design,”
Anyway, Friday and Saturday, March 6 & 7, don’t miss this unique opportunity to learn from European design masters such as Alberto Alessi and Michele De Lucchi. It should rule.
Bacolicio.us – By way of the newest New Media member, Kate, comes this pork modification. While this pharmacist is generally meat-free, bacon on a website is pretty funny.
Sketching with Ketchup – By way of Matt comes this demo that uses meat sandwich accessories and sugar infused tomato squeezings.
European Design Facebook Contest – Week one’s winner has been selected. Up is the new picture!
