“By engaging with popular tastes, you are going to produce kitsch […]”
This piece addresses contemporary attitudes towards the idea of kitsch within the academy and architectural practice.
Download“By engaging with popular tastes, you are going to produce kitsch […]”
“maybe kitsch was […] especially about low […] concept or low popular culture, and […] I think that’s why it’s something we really don’t talk about or celebrate…”
“[…] there’s an ethical barometer placed around the word ‘kitsch’…”
“How do you bring something like ideas about abstraction […] to bear on an environment that is purely about the production of kitsch within the Pinterest board aesthetic?”
“[…] we are always having a conversation about taste, but it’s implicit, or it’s implied.”
