Amy Franceschini (born 1970, in Patterson, California) is a contemporary American artist and designer. Her practice spans a broad range of media including drawing, sculpture, design, net art, public art and gardening. She was a 2010 Guggenheim Fellow.〔http://www.gf.org/fellows/16761-amy-franceschini〕 ==Life and work== Franceschini founded Futurefarmers in 1995 as a way to bring together multidisciplinary artists. Through Futurefarmers she has collaborated with a number of artists, including Sascha Merg, Josh On. In 2002 she began graduate studies at Stanford University, and in 2004 she co-founded ''Free Soil'',〔(Free Soil Website )〕 an international collective working between reflection, research and design. She has taught at Stanford University and the San Francisco Art Institute,〔(~Futurefarmers~ )〕 where she lectured on media theory and teaches practical courses. Her aim is to sensitize students to the interaction between design and processes that appear to be unrelated. Frequent themes in Franceschini's work are gardening, public space, technology, and social change. Franceschini's work often takes a visual approach to articulating perceived conflicts between humans and nature, and the individual to a community. She works both as an artist as well as a designer.〔(Free Soil )〕 In 2010 she co-authored (with Daniel Tucker) the book "Farm Together Now: A Portrait of People, Places and Ideas for a New Food Movement", which features interviews and photos essays (by Anne Hamersky) with politically engaged farmers across the United States.〔(Martha Bayne, "The Chicago Reader" 12/1/10 )〕 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Amy Franceschini」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
