He will be joined by Poster House Advisory Board member and tartan legend\, Nicholas “Nicho”  Lowry. Nicholas wears many poster-related hats: auctioneer\, specialist\,  lecturer\, curator\, historian\, enthusiast\, and collector. He is perhaps best known\, though\, as the President and Principal Auctioneer of Swann Auction Galleries\, where he is also the Director of its vintage posters department. As one of the world’s foremost authorities on vintage posters\, he has spent nearly 25 years serving regularly as a poster appraiser on the PBS television series Antiques Roadshow. \nPerson Place Thing is an interview show based on the idea that people are particularly engaging when they speak\, not directly about themselves\, but about something they care about.

Together they will ask: Do printed posters in times of digital displays in urban spaces still make sense? And why should posters be produced at great expense using the antiquated letterpress printing process\, when digital printing devices can deliver high-quality reproductions at much lower cost? In the words of Dafi\, “letterpress printing can only live on if the design is at the heart of the process and makes the connection to the present.” \nThis event is presented by Cooper Union’s Herb Lubalin Study Center and the Consulate General of Switzerland in New York. It will be held at the Frederick P. Rose Auditorium. \nDafi Kühne is a Swiss designer and letterpress printer. In his studio\, he uses a wild mix of analog and digital tools to produce cultural posters. With this one main rule in his studio\, “No PDF ever leaves the studio as a final product.” He prints all posters with letterpress printing presses. His mostly typographic posters have won international awards and been in exhibitions all around the globe.

These efforts extended beyond the use of such ephemera to encompass attire and an overall attitude that emphasized the cause. This cohesive visual identity communicated its bold\, militant values to the general public\, and was specifically inspiring to a Black audience. Poster House is thrilled to welcome Mary Philips\, Associate Professor of Africana Studies at Lehman College and Jonathan Square\, Assistant Professor of Black Visual Culture at Parsons School of Design to discuss the importance of demanding change through aesthetic presentation. This discussion will focus on the outward presentation of Black Panther Party members and consider the stakes involved in their militant stance when interacting with the State. \nMary Frances Phillips is a proud native of Detroit\, Michigan. She is an Associate Professor of Africana Studies at Lehman College\, City University of New York. Her interdisciplinary research agenda focuses on race and gender in post-1945 social movements and the carceral state. Her research areas include the Modern Black Freedom Struggle\, Black Feminism\, and Black Power Studies.

This style is in sharp contrast to the traditional wabi aesthetic\, characterized by a natural forms and simple shapes. The wabi aesthetic can be observed in chanoyu\, a tea ceremony that developed from the spirituality of Zen. Through the act of making and drinking powdered green tea\, it aims to unite the minds of those gathered in the tea room\, to calm the thoughts and to look deeply into oneself and each other in silence. \nThis 800+ year-old practice  traditionally takes place in a dimly lit tea room with utensils based on subdued colors and a respect for natural textures. Four hundred years ago\, however\, the warrior tea master Furuta Oribe revolutionized the monochrome world of the tea ceremony by bringing in color and light. Opening up the tea room with windows\, utensils took on a more elevated role\, embracing green and other hues that introduced the  colorful world of chanoyu. \nPoster House is pleased to welcome New York-based tea master Yoshitsugu Nagano for a tea ceremony situated within the world of chanoy that has been handed down from Oribe. This special tea room space will be designed by actively incorporating the colors and composition of 20th-century Japanese posters featured in Made in Japan. \nParticipants will get to enjoy a cup of powdered green tea prepared exclusively for this special experience of Japanese culture.  \nYoshitsugu Nagano is the youngest person to be certified in the highest rank of the Ueda Soko school of samurai tea ceremony (USRJWT)\, which has been practiced in Hiroshima for 400 years\, and serves as a regular professor of the school. In 2019\, he relocated to New York City\, where he energetically promotes the spirituality and aesthetics of chanoyu through hosting tea rituals both for public audience and by special arrangement\, presenting workshops\, and teaching his students. He establishes styles of modern tea\, incorporating new expressions into this tradition rooted in Zen.
