This episode is work safe.
As you listen to this episode you may be driving in your car, you might be at work or maybe you're at the gum working out. Wherever you may be, you are surrounded by art and design. Your steering wheel, the lid of your coffee cup, the cover of your favorite magazines, your computer, your MP3 player, the billboards and buildings around you, all have been meticulously crafted. All of them have been designed to provide form and function. Each one of them, in their own way, is a work of art.
This episode features interviews with Julie Lasky, editor-in-chief of I.D. Magazine; video artist Benton C. Bainbridge; minimal sculptor John Powers; graphic artist and illustrator Alejandro Fuentes; and Frances Anderton, host of KCRW's Design and Architecture.
