Opening Reception | Dymax Redux: Maps Inspired by Buckminster Fuller
Dymax Redux provides a modern take on Buckminster Fuller’s iconic Dymaxion Map, a breakthrough in cartography when first published 70 years ago. In the exhibit, contemporary graphic designers, visual artists and citizen cartographers - finalists in the DYMAX REDUX crowdsourcing design competition - offer a variety of beautifully original, informative and radical projections onto Fuller’s original work. Using map as canvas, they explore a range of topics including deforestation, climate and atmospheric conditions, historic events, migration routes, water use, gun violence, urbanization, time zones and even lunar topography. A selection of Fuller's own maps will be displayed to provide background and context for the project.

Discussion | A Swedish Literary Icon: The Writings of Stig Dagerman in America
Stig Dagerman was one of Sweden's most prolific and acclaimed post-war writers. As writer, playwright, and literary critic Graham Greene noted: “Dagerman wrote with beautiful objectivity. Instead of emotive phrases, he uses a choice of facts, like bricks, to construct an emotion.” A literary phenomenon during his brief career, Dagerman died tragically young, but his writing continues to attract new generations of readers around the world. Now, for the first time, his body of work is being published in the United States with four new volumes to date.
