The Arts & Crafts Movement was a late 19th century design movement that advocated for traditional craftsmanship and high quality design and construction of products in response to the mass production of goods during the Industrial Revolution. Key figures included John Ruskin who believed art and labor could create happiness, and William Morris who founded Morris & Co. and the Kelmscott Press to produce beautifully crafted books and goods using traditional methods and natural materials. The movement emphasized quality over quantity and had a lasting influence on design.

Art Nouveau, ornamental style of art that flourished between about 1890 and 1910 throughout Europe and the United States.
The most important places for architecture during this period were Brussels, Paris and Barcelona. The name 'Art nouveau' is French for 'new art'.
It represents the beginning of modernism in design(Modern Architecture). It occurred at a time when
Mass-produced consumer goods began to fill the marketplace, and
Designers, architects, and artist began to understand that the handcrafted work of centuries past could be lost.

Workers’ Unions were illegal in the UK until 1824.
The Chartist movement of the 1830s and 1840s represented the first real effort to build a labor union, and organized the first wide-spread labor strike in 1846.
In 1844, Frederick Engels, the son of a textile factory owner, published his Condition of the Working Class in England, one of the founding works of Socialism.
Reform of Working Conditions
Factory Acts of 1802, 1833-
1)Children under 8 can’t work
2)Children 8-13 can only work 8 hours per day, but only from 6AM to 9PM (max work week of 58 hours)

Factory Act of 1844-
Women and children (13-18) not allowed to work beyond 58 hours per week.
Factory Act of 1847- The ten hour work day
Robert Owen (1771-1858)
Great fan of reforming industrial labor conditions
Ran his own mill town of New Lanark, Scotland, as an example of how fair treatment and investment in the lives and education of workers could alleviate the social problems of capitalism.
Believed poverty could be solved
by the creation of new villages
for the poor based on the
old principle of commonly-held
lands.
Edwin Chadwick

Ireland and Enclosures
During the eighteenth century, English and Irish-protestant landlords pursued a policy of increasing cash rents or enclosures for sheep farming, dispossessing large swaths of the Irish peasantry.

thGAP - BAbyss in Moderno!! Transgenic Human Germline Alternatives ProjectMarc Dusseiller Dusjagr
thGAP - Transgenic Human Germline Alternatives Project, presents an evening of input lectures, discussions and a performative workshop on artistic interventions for future scenarios of human genetic and inheritable modifications.
To begin our lecturers, Marc Dusseiller aka "dusjagr" and Rodrigo Martin Iglesias, will give an overview of their transdisciplinary practices, including the history of hackteria, a global network for sharing knowledge to involve artists in hands-on and Do-It-With-Others (DIWO) working with the lifesciences, and reflections on future scenarios from the 8-bit computer games of the 80ies to current real-world endeavous of genetically modifiying the human species.
We will then follow up with discussions and hands-on experiments on working with embryos, ovums, gametes, genetic materials from code to slime, in a creative and playful workshop setup, where all paticipant can collaborate on artistic interventions into the germline of a post-human future.

The Arts and Crafts movement began as a reaction against the social, moral and artistic confusion of the Industrial Revolution.
Factory workers labored for 14 hours a day, often in dangerous conditions, for miserable wages. They lived in squalid, unsanitary tenements. The work force was exploited by Industrialists.
Many of the goods produced were of poor, or dubious quality, and viewed by some as being “cheap and nasty.”
The “anything goes” design philosophy often resulted in graphic design that resembled a 19th century version of “do-it-yourself” Myspace design.
Book design was a casualty of the Industrial Revolution, with the notable exception of Publisher, William Pickering.
Pickering controlled the book format design, type selection, illustrations and all other visual considerations. Working closely with the printer, he supervised the printing of the books. By working in this manner, Pickering played an important role in separating graphic design from printing production.
The Arts and Crafts movement was inspired by the philosophy of writer and artist John Ruskin. He felt that industrialization and technology caused a greater separation of art and society, and that separation should be eliminated.
William Morris was a pivotal figure in the Arts and Crafts movement. His deep concern about the problems of industrialization and the factory system led him to implement Ruskin’s ideas and address the tastelessness of mass-produced goods and the lack of honest craftsmanship, through a reunion of art and craft.
William Morris had the Red House designed for him and his wife, by the architect Philip Webb. The house was notable for it’s L-shaped design, instead of being a rectangular box. During the decorating of the house, Morris discovered the appalling state of Victorian product and furniture design.
This led Morris to design and supervise the production of furniture, stained glass and tapestries for his house. As a result of this experience, he established the art decorating firm “Morris, Marshall, Faulkner and Company,” which later became “Morris and Company.”
Morris created over 500 pattern designs for wallpapers, textiles, carpets and tapestries. Medieval arts and botanical forms were his main influence. Wallpaper with his designs are still available today.
Morris founded a private press called Kelmscott Press, where the book became an art form whose elements were unified by a strong sense of design. As a book designer, Morris was greatly influence by medieval books. A private press is operated as an artistic or craft-based endeavor, rather than as a purely commercial venture.
Meticulous hand-printing and handmade paper, combined with beautiful typeface designs, hand-cut woodblocks, initials, frames and borders inspired a whole new generation of book designers.
Private presses were soon established in several countries in Europe and in the United States. Several of these presses further evolved book design and typography, eventually moving away from the medieval influence to a more open design that had more in common with Japanese woodblock art, and bridged the gap with Art Nouveau Design.
Jan van Krimpen, pages from Deirdre & de zonen van Usnach (Deirdre and the Sons of Usnach), by A. Roland Holst, Palladium Series, 1920.
During this period a number of Guilds emerged, whose members sought to establish democratic artistic communities united for the common good. Among the most important was the Century Guild. The Century Guild Hobby Horse, featured the work of guild members and was the first magazine devoted to the visual arts.
Although it eventually gave way to Art Nouveau during the early part of the 20th Century, the most lasting effect of the Arts and Crafts movement is the commitment to design and quality. The movement resisted the fast, cheap and low quality products that became common during the Industrial Revolution. Good designers and printers today obsess over details, while striving to create the highest quality product.
