The presentations will all be based upon the 20 X 20 format: 20 images x 20 seconds per image.

Visit the PK•StL website for more details.

There is no cost for attending the event. All are welcome.

The slide presentation will touch upon:

• Noguchi's concepts for sculpting the earth and its connections with Native American Indian mounds
• The critical influence of the Midwestern history, culture and landscape on Noguchi's formative years in Indiana.
• Noguchi's collaboration with the New York modern architect Edward Durrell Stone in developing an entry to the Jefferson National Expansion Memorial Competition.
• The visceral connection between Noguchi's desire to mold the landscape and evocations of the human body represented in the earth.
• Noguchi's collaboration with Saint Louis modern architect Harris Armstrong on the iconic Magic Chef lunar landscape.
• The significant, original Noguchi plaster model for the Magic Chef ceiling in the collection of the Saint Louis Art Museum.
• The impact of Noguchi's confinement at the Poston Relocation Center (for residents and citizens of Japanese origin in 1942) upon his conception of the purpose and meaning of art, sculpture, and landscape.

Noguchi -- Sofa & Ottoman

Remiss63 posted a photo:

"The furniture that Noguchi designed in the 1940's, like the lunar interiors,
was an offshoot of the more narrow sculptural practice that he embraced
during this decade. For in 1942 Noguchi had refocused his energies on studio
sculpture, disillusioned from efforts to construct public amenities at the
Japanese-American relocation camp in Poston, Arizona, which he had entered
voluntarily with hopes of improving the lives of the internees. Back in New
York in a studio on MacDougal Alley he created interlocking slab sculptures
strongly influenced by Surrealism, work that brought him widespread
recognition within the emerging New York School. In addition to the famous
coffee table, the other pieces that he designed for Herman Miller during
these years also displayed such biomorphism, and a sculptural sensibility
oriented toward the individual object. There was the 1944-designed laminated
wood "rudder" dinette table with two bent tubular aluminum legs, and its
companion stools, which also was manufactured as a coffee table. He designed
another three-legged coffee table the next year, this one having a marble
top and wooden legs. The surface of each of these tables featured a sunken
receptacle for the display of flowers. In 1948 Noguchi designed his only
sofa, a free-form padded couch with metal legs, along with a companion bench
of similar shape."
