At Parsons, Aftertaste 3 Is Thrice as Nice

One of the most memorable and thought-provoking conferences we’ve ever attended was last year’s Aftertaste 2 symposium at Parsons the New School for Design, so we wanted to alert you of this year’s imminent three-peat of the international symposium dedicated to the critical review of interior design. Aftertaste 3: New Agendas for the Interior takes place next Friday and Saturday (April 3 and April 4) at the Anna-Maria and Stephen Kellen Auditorium in the Sheila C. Johnson Design Center in New York City. This year’s symposium promises to be a feast for the senses, exploring the complex and still relatively unexplored roles of sight, taste, hearing, smell, and touch in the imagining of interiors. Translation: four sensory-focused panel discussions (sight, sound, smell, and touch) and a wine tasting. Among the panelists and featured speakers are designer James Auger, architect and theorist Jorge Otero-Pailos, James Tichenor and Joshua Walton of the Interaction LAB at Rockwell Group, self-described “conceptualist and maple sugar maker” Charlie Morrow, and Meyer Rus, design and culture editor of the Los Angeles Times Magazine.
