A concert<\/a>, two<\/a> exhibitions<\/a>, and two major<\/a> design talks<\/a>. Not bad going for an extended weekend!<\/p>\n

Pentagram from left to right: Left to right: Domenic Lippa, Lorenzo Apicella, Justus Oehler, DJ Stout, Daniel Weil, Michael Bierut, William Russell, Lisa Strausfeld and Abbott Miller. Review of the talk<\/a> by Ben Terrett over at the Creative Review blog<\/p>\n

I will write a bit about the talks, but taking the first flight of the day from Heathrow kind of takes it out of you – so it will have to wait!<\/p>\n

[update, 10th June 2007]<\/p>\n

I was wary of taking out my notebook during the WK talk, so I recorded less. It was certainly no less interesting!<\/p>\n

“unless you are willing to get lost, you won’t show up anywhere new” -Dan Wieden<\/p>\n

on the way home from the WK talk, at Bank\/Monument Station: “We have just been informed that we have no idea where the next westbound Central Line train is” (luckily, I had no plans to use the central line)<\/p>\n

Pentagram:<\/p>\n

“Design is a generalist activity – we are not specialists” – JD Weil<\/p>\n

“If you only go in a straight line, you are finished” Alan Livingston, the moderator<\/p>\n

“They do things we understand but cannot do, and vice versa” on the interdisciplinery range of partners.<\/p>\n

“It’s not quite as confusing as falling in love… but on a professional level, it’s close” Micheal Beirut, on picking new parters to join the firm<\/p>\n

Many more interesting things were said, but I tried to listen more than write.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
