Design, Lectures, Teaching, Writing Dan Friedman: A Personal Appraisal

For 25 years, first as a colleague at Yale, then as a friend, I observed the fascinating evolution of this influential, but less well-known designer/philosopher. I have helped stage multiple exhibitions of his work and spoken about his multi-faceted career and influential ideas at many schools and organizations around the country. You can see a recent lecture on Dan here.

Painting Seaforms

On Saturday, May 27th, a show of my paintings opened at Gladstone Gallery in Manchester-by-the-Sea, an hour north of Boston.This exhibition paired two distinctive shapes of the sea shore: crab claws, part of the non-descript detritus washed up on the beach below our cottage in Annisquam, and the ungainly hulks of trawlers and tugs hauled up on the drydocks in Glouocester.

Painting Small Potatoes

In the fall of 2016 I opened a new show at Gladstone Gallery in Manchester, Massachusetts, titled Small Potatoes. These paintings are affectionate portraits of the humble tuber in its more flamboyant state, often forgotten, but lively, in the back corner of

Teaching What I didnt learn in school

You never realize how much you didnt learn in school until you try to teach in one. Teaching forces you to figure out what it is that someone else needs to know, and then to devise a set of experiences

Teaching Thoughts on the attraction of teaching

I have been teaching (at Yale, mostly, but lots of other places less consistently) since 1966. I have always been interested in explaining things and I think that is part of my attraction to the role. But there is another
