		<title>In Lieu of Real Resolution</title>
		<description><![CDATA[Instead of a New-Year rant (or ramble), how about some of my favourite resolutions? This pdf is from the briefing for a one-day student project we ran at the start of this term, and which possibly captures, (maybe even in ways unknown to me), the essence of my addiction to bad jokes in an educational context, [...]]]></description>

		<title>Zygmunt Bauman on Managerialism and Design</title>
		<description><![CDATA[There&#8217;s a film excerpt here of Zygmunt Bauman discussing the rise of managerialism and it&#8217;s associated effects on design, systems, and humanity.

		<title>Artists Space: “Identity” Symposium</title>
		<description><![CDATA[&#8220;Is a constructed and mediative notion of institutional “identity” inherently part of a relationship between a contemporary art space, and its audience? Are the principles of branding and marketing at odds with the notion of a “critical” art space? How does the formation and maintenance of an “identity” relate to institutional policies, and political and [...]]]></description>

		<title>They Do Things Differently</title>
		<description><![CDATA[Do Graphic Designers just pick typefaces? Sometimes &#8216;rationale&#8217; can become a cumbersome and overwrought part of the design process (whatever that might be) and other times it provides the perfect funnel for ideas and decision making. This post outlines some of the thinking behind the typography for &#8216;they do things differently there&#8217; — an exhibition [...]]]></description>

		<title>Brand Rooms</title>
		<description><![CDATA[Brand-washing of the most mesmeric order, for Deutsche Bank, reported via CreativeApplications.Net. The BrandRoom is a fairly well established concept where a kind of mini-exhibition is set up that creates an experience which embodies and communicates the brands &#8216;values&#8217; and history, but this is perhaps the most sophisticated and technologically advanced that I&#8217;ve come across, [...]]]></description>

		<title>Politics of Aesthetics</title>
		<description><![CDATA[&#8220;If you don’t address the politics behind the aesthetics, there will be no real change. Like in “critical design.” So basically, there’s are still people today, who do the stuff Droog designed back in the 1990s. They do it even better than Droog did it. But Droog did it when it was also politically relevant. [...]]]></description>

But its interesting how people often contextualise their use of &#8216;state of flux&#8217; to describe a discipline or area of activity, inferring that this state of flux may one day resolve itself, and that it is [...]]]></description>

		<title>Good Questions</title>
		<description><![CDATA[&#8220;The period since the 1960s in particular has seen significant shifts in the perceived role of contemporary art in society, as well as the impact organizations displaying art have on economic and political infrastructures and vice versa. “Identity” attempts to animate the typically fraught relationship between cultural and corporate spheres, as contemporary art institutions become [...]]]></description>
