Public Project

11/15/2016

Hello to anyone who might come across this FB page or the affiliated Public Project site. The original aim of this collective, when it began in 2010, was to introduce social practice elective studios into the graduate Communication Design department at Pratt. Starting in Fall 2015, social practice is now part of our core curriculum. Therefore, Public Project is no longer an active group. These discussions continue within the Transformation Design studio, required during both first and second-year Fall semesters for our graduate student. If you are a prospective student, or an alumni, and have questions about the MFA degree at Pratt, feel free to contact me ([email protected]) or the Chair of our department.

This coming Fall, Design for Mindful Interaction (DES 658), will run again. There is still room in this special project studio class. Join us! Details here: http://publicproject.prattgradcomd.com/?p=766

Graham Coreil-Allen will visit Pratt tomorrow - grab your lunch and attend the lecture from 12-1.

Monday, March 10, 2014
12–1:00 PM
PMC, Room 707

Graham Coreil-Allen is a Baltimore-based interventionist public artist who explores the constructs and contradictions of our everyday built environment through videos, maps, installations and walking tours. Situated within invisible public spaces such as parking lots, median strips, riverbanks and corporate lobbies, Coreil-Allen’s ongoing New Public Sites project playfully tests the boundaries of pedestrian agency, interprets the overlooked and banal, and investigates the negotiable nature of public space. The public artist studied at Tulane School of Architecture, completed his BA at New College of Florida and received his MFA from Maryland Institute College of Art’s Mount Royal School of Art. Coreil-Allen has staged projects for numerous art spaces and events both nationally and abroad, including the The Art Parade, Eyebeam and openhouseNY, all in New York City, as well as Washington DC’s Options ’09 Biennial, the Arlington Art Center in Virginia, Baltimore’s Artscape, Whartscape, Transmodern Festival, and Current Space, and in the US Pavilion at the 13th International Venice Architecture Biennale.
