Ross Elfline, Assistant Professor of Art History, recently presented a paper titled “Dropping Out: Rethinking Design Labor in the 1960s and 1970s,” at the conference Aquarius Redux: Rethinking Architecture’s Counterculture at the University of Sydney in Australia. His paper sought to recast the act of “dropping out” from the Hippie era as an active disavowal of alienated labor practices while also considering designed objects that would support newly activated (and collectivized) forms of work.
