Produktinformationen zu „Monumental: The Reimagined World of Kevin O'Callaghan “
Kevin O'Callaghan is a design wizard and "Monumental "is his manifesto, featuring hundreds of beautiful and useful design objects made out of obsolete, useless, cast-off technology. Since 1985, O'Callaghan has taught a now-legendary 3-D design class at New York's School of Visual Arts, where students solder, rivet, and weld the flotsam of mass-produced consumer culture into new, different, and, most importantly, functional objects. For "Yugo Next," an exhibition that toured the United States--and mesmerized the media wherever it went--students transformed so-called "useless" Yugo automobiles into a piano, a barbecue, a shower, a confessional, an accordion, a gigantic telephone, and a toaster that actually popped, among other things. O'Callaghan is a philosopher, comedian, entrepreneur, and social critic who shows how design can make the world a better place.

He is the designer of the largest rococo frame in the world (which hangs in Times Square) Steven Heller is America's leading historian and critic of graphic design. He is the author, co-author, and/or editor of more than 100 books on design and popular culture, including Abrams' Illustration.
