As I head off for Berlin's Typo conference, the one thing on my mind is the incredible opening at School of Visual Arts last night for the MFA Designer as Author first year exhibition: Seriouis Fun.  The fun house filled with socially relevant and politically acute toys representing such personal issues as "Loneliness" to such global ones as "Genetically Manufactured Farm Animals" is curator Kevin O'Callaghan's tour de force of the year. All the mini-store environments and products were produced by MFA students, and the results are nothing less than spectacular. If you're in New York, check it out at 209 East 23rd St (up for only a week).
