A roundup of ideas and projects from around the Institute

Salt and pepper shaker designs by Eva Zeisel, who taught as a professor of industrial design at Pratt from 1934 to 1959, were featured by Cooper Hewitt. “I have rarely designed objects that were meant to stand alone. My designs have family relationships. They are either mother and child, siblings, or cousins. They might not have identical lines, but there is always a family relationship,” Zeisel said.

Interim Chair of Graduate Architecture, Landscape Architecture, and Urban Design Alexandra Barker was awarded the Arnold W. Brunner Grant for her project “Climate-Adaptive Vernacular Building Practices of Mexico City and Oaxaca—A Study of Traditional and Contemporary Biostructures Using Local and Renewable Materials.” For more information, visit the School of Architecture News Page.

Karina Sharif, BFA ’08, was featured in STIR. “I approach fabrication with a particular care and softness,” she said. It is important that when working with the material, I explore its ability to preserve history, tell stories and challenge the commodification of the material by highlighting it as precious.”

A dress designed by Jeremy Scott, BFA Fashion Design ’95, is on view at the Louvre Couture exhibition. Scott was featured in Vogue with Gigi Hadid, who wore a design designed by Scott at the exhibition celebration during Paris Fashion Week.

“Hangman,” a story by Professor of Writing Samantha Hunt, was published in The Yale Review.

Alanna Fields, MFA Photography ’19, spoke at Penumbra Foundation as part of their Spring 2025 Artist Series, which “brings to life the work of featured photographers and other notable guest artists and scholars, offering a unique opportunity to engage with them in an intimate setting as they discuss their work and process.”

Adjunct Associate Professor – CCE of Architecture Eunjeong Seong moderated conversations at symposia in conjunction with the opening of an exhibition she co-curated at the University of Houston, Is Housing Still Housing? Houston’s Single House. The exhibition suggests “a need for a renewed term for the broader climate, economic and social aspects that will reshape shelter over the coming decades.”
-
The first Pratt Munson Art Market was featured in WKTV. “For the students, it gives them a chance to show their work, but it also gives them a chance to articulate what it’s about, what their goals are, and what they’re hoping to do,” Pratt Munson Dean Suzanne Snyder said. “It allows them to start thinking about how they’ll market themselves in two years when they graduate.”
-
E-Flux published an in-depth essay of Chair of Photography Shannon Ebner’s work. “Ebner’s photographs center on, and worry at, how expected circuits of information, material, and reaction can alternately get severed or established anew—when material damage or wear and tear might cause a billboard to be junked or pulled from use, yet its painted or printed letters still keep signifying regardless.”
