Due to the outbreak of COVID-19, the exhibition at the Redcat in Los Angeles, CA was postponed. With the world still in the throes of the global pandemic, this was seen as a time to dig deeper, to reflect on what makes each of us unique and what inspires our lives. At the heart of \u003cem\u003eThe Nest\u003c\/em\u003e is an interest in the way form-making can be influenced by not just the circumstances of the present moment, but just as much by history—from the Bauhaus to Swiss Modernism to the variants of Postmodernism that stemmed from CalArts and Cranbrook.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eUsing elements that represent the history and range of the storied CalArts poster archive, this project is an exploration of aesthetic strategies brought to life by blending both digital and analog processes. Layer by layer, step by step, \u003cem\u003eThe Nest\u003c\/em\u003e closely examines each phase of designing those 200 posters. It is a celebration of process and a deep dive into the ever-evolving design values that guide one along the creative process. \u003cem\u003eThe Nest\u003c\/em\u003e is full of personal narratives, conversations about process, the always difficult journey of making, and how memories can guide and inspire.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThrough interviews, essays, and conversations among designers, \u003cem\u003eThe Nest\u003c\/em\u003e looks to illuminate what it truly takes to start something and to keep going no matter the resistance, until you find your way out.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eIncludes conversations and writing by Denise Gonzales Crisp \u0026amp; Gail Swanlund \/ Ed Fella \u0026amp; Martin Venezky \/ Bijan Berahimi, Stefano Giustiniani \u0026amp; Laura Bernstein \/ Ethan A.
