visual acoustics: the modernism of julius shulman

walking up sixth avenue to the office today, i started thinking about a radio program on kcrw that i fell in love with over the summer: DnA: Design and Architecture, hosted by frances anderton. i have a crazy nostalgic love for los angeles (not ever as a place to live, but as a place to visit) and every so often, i'll listen to LA radio, just to amplify my daydreams.



there was a recent podcast dedicated to the life and work of julius shulman, who passed away this summer at the age of 98. i've listened to it more than a few times, i admire his work so much. a few of his books (a constructed view, photographing architecture and interiors, modernism rediscovered) have been on my wish list for too long.

anyway, so i had it in mind that i'd listen to a little DnA today, maybe bring a little LA sunshine into this grey new york day. and then i received the news about the us theatrical release of the documentary, visual acoustics: the modernism of julius shulman. this is a must see for me.

it will open ny on october 9, at cinema village. in la on october 16, at the nuart theatre.

more cities and dates, here.

check out the trailer and the podcast. perhaps you will be inspired to see it, too.
