Martin Beck's exhibition “Program” at the Carpenter Center for the Visual Arts comprised a sequence of interventions, installations, events, and displays that drew on the exhibition histories and academic pursuits of the famed 1963 Le Corbusier building at Harvard University. The sequence of explorative strategies―each node of which Beck considered an “episode”―lent particular attention to the founding aspirations of the Carpenter Center, which sought to cultivate its position as simultaneously an iconic modernist building, school, and exhibition venue. Beck performed and critically reflected on the kinds of activity an institution uses to build, organize, and engage with its audiences, and, in the case of the Carpenter Center, how it performed a kind of exhibition of education in both its pedagogical framework and its public outreach. From its physical infrastructure to its communication strategies, from its foundational curricular principles to visitor tallies, from building usage to welcome rituals, “Program,” which transpired over two years, examined institutional behaviors that collectively form institutional identity and integrate audiences into a cohesive program of public address. This book, An Organized System of Instructions, is both a document of “Program” and an extension of the exhibition, which ran from October 24, 2014, to October 2016.Copublished with Carpenter Center for the Visual ArtsContributorsMartin Beck, Keller Easterling, James Goggin, Alex Kitnick, James Voorhies

On the occasion of the 100th anniversary of the Overbeck Society, the book is a comprehensive publication presenting the history of the Lübecker Kunstverein (Lübeck Art Association) in the 20th and 21st centuries. Together with the works of the anniversary exhibition, an architectural history study of the Bauhaus Pavilion, and a complete chronology of its exhibitions and publications.

Martin Beck's exhibition “Panel 2―'Nothing better than a touch of ecology and catastrophe to unite the social classes...'” draws on the events of the 1970 International Design Conference in Aspen (IDCA) and the development of the Aspen Movie Map to form a visual environment that reflects the interrelations between art, architecture, design, ecology, and social movements. The 1970 IDCA marked a turning point in design thinking. The conference's theme, “Environment by Design,” brought together venerable figures of modern design in the United States, including Eliot Noyes, George Nelson, and Saul Bass; environmental collectives and activist architects from Berkeley such as the Environmental Action Group, Sim Van der Ryn, and Ant Farm; as well as a group of French designers and sociologists, among them Jean Aubert, Lionel Schein, and Jean Baudrillard. The conference quickly escalated into a site of unresolvable conflict about communication formats and the potential role of design for environmental practices in a rapidly changing society. The ensuing decade heralded the development of an interactive navigation system, which used the same Colorado resort town as its test site. The Aspen Movie Map―initiated by MIT's Architecture Machine Group (the predecessor to the Media Lab) and partially funded by the US Department of Defense―is an image-based surrogate travel system using footage filmed in Aspen. Meant to prepare users for quick orientation in places they have never been to, the Aspen Movie Map was a seminal prototype for today's military and consumer navigation systems. The Aspen Complex documents two versions of Beck's exhibition―at London's Gasworks and Columbia University's Arthur Ross Architecture Gallery―and brings together yet unpublished archival material and new research on the 1970 IDCA and the Aspen Movie Map.

This heavily textured piece depicts a stony road, extending to the horizon amidst a bleak landscape. The grey sky is almost the same color as the earth, making this image feel ethereal. This could be a road in some distant place, or a road of metaphor, strewn with treacherous pebbles just as life is. There is a tactile experience to this piece, which packs the texture more densely at the bottom where the road begins. This in turn creates the illusion of distance. Color: Metal Colour.

In this radical and illuminating book, eloquent historian of ideas Eduardo Giannetti uncovers the truth about lies. The most intimate and treacherous relationship a person has is with him or herself. Inclined to lie to ourselves-to believe our powers greater and impulses purer than they are- we are masters of our own self-deception. Giannetti looks to clues in the natural world and into our cultural and natural histories, offering a brilliantly engaging and provocative analysis of our favorite subject-ourselves. By answering these four basic questions, he unlocks the mystery of who we are and how we live: What is self-deception and how is it different from deceiving others? Why is self-knowledge such a challenge for human beings?How is it possible for one to deceive oneself? What is the place of self-deception in our day-to-day lives? Lies We Live By is an impossible book to resist and promises to have a profound effect the next time the reader looks in the mirror.

"I am so hackneyed to the touches of the painters pencil, that I am now altogether at their beck ... no dray moves more readily to the Thill, than I do to the Painters Chair." - George Washington, 16, 1785When George Washington was born, the New World had virtually no artists. Over the course of his life, a cultural transformation would occur. Virtually everyone regarded Washington as America's indispensable man, and the early painters and sculptors were no exception. Hugh Howard surveys the founding fathers of American painting through their portraits of Washington. Charles Willson Peale was the comrade-in-arms, John Trumbull the aristocrat, Benjamin West the mentor, and Gilbert Stuart the brilliant wastrel. Their images of Washington fed an immense popular appetite that has never faded, Stuart's image endures today on the $1 bill. The Painter's Chair is an eloquent narrative of how America's first painters toiled to create an art worthy of the new republic, and the hero whom they turned into an icon.
