I Read the News Today... Oh Boy

Put a Beatles lyric in the title of your exhibition and you're sure to capture our attention. This exhibition at the California Nanosystems Institute presents posters by UCLA's Design | Media Arts department chair and some of his students. It is worth a visit on its own merit and to become acquainted with the project's sponsor, the UCLA Art|Sci Center, an interdisciplinary lab and studio in which artists and scientists can collaborate.

December 3, 2009 through January 22, 2010

From the DMA department website:
Since Fall 2005 (right after Hurricane Katrina) starting with Media + Medicine / Environment + the MInd, a poster for a discussion on mental health in New Orleans, Lucas Has been involved in designing material for the UCLA Art|Sci Center and the UCLA Art|Global Health Center. This exhibition presents a selection and overview of posters by Lucas and his student assistants: Wayne Fan, Tiffany Huang and Everett Pelayo. Inspired by the vernacular of the newspaper and 'activist design methods' like silk screening and the use of Xerox copy machines, these posters were made under pressure of a very short deadline and 'no budget.'
