"Modernists in Recovery"
A Conversation with Kent Bloomer
Hosted by Jessica Kung Dreyfus and Faith Chiang
This event is FREE, please RSVP for ZOOM invite.
Brighten your quarantine with some lively discussions around the urgency of Ornament. We are pleased to invite you to join in a timely conversation with the Ornatista himself, Kent Bloomer.
Topics include:
How did we get here? Getting to the bottom of what was lost: connections between St. Isidore and Pythagoras.
How do we get out of here? New connections discovered: Ornament and music theory.
Kent C. Bloomer is an American sculptor, professor and author who is a well known proponent and creator of architectural ornament. He has taught classes on ornament at the Yale School of Architecture for over forty years, and many of his public works of ornament have become well known landmarks. He has written several books and articles on visual perception and architectural ornament, including the principal authorship, with Charles Moore, of “Body, Memory and Architecture,” 1977.

Creating on All Levels of Consciousness
What does it mean to connect to source?
How can we activate our daily rituals and acts of creation to deepen our connection to Earth? How can we create the cultural capital of humanity in conscious dialogue with the Earth? What if we could build and design in a way that is not simply sustainable but actively heals the earth? What if we could stop simply "using" the land and learn to co-create with her?

Conscious Design & The Art of Ritual
Join us as we explore the relationship between geometry, our bodies, our dwellings and our planet.
There is a sacred dance between the built environment and the natural world, between our bodies and the homes in which we dwell. Ceremony attunes us to the interconnectedness of our environments - we bring energy into alignment with the natural forces that surround us. Once harmonized, our environments have the ability to activate us, echoing our essence back to us through our connections.
