*CUDO and Krannert Center Team Up for PechaKucha Night*

*Friday, July 30, 2010, at 8:20pm; doors open at 7pm*

*Krannert Center, Amphitheatre*

*FREE admission*

 

First devised by a pair of Tokyo architects in 2003, PechaKucha Nights 
have become international phenomena that use a simple concept to create 
big community exchanges. Presenters have 20 images and 20 seconds per 
image to share their ideas, works, and passions for a total of 6 minutes 
and 40 seconds flat.

The July 30 event will be the fourth PechaKucha Night hosted by the 
Champaign-Urbana Design Organization (CUDO), and this first 
collaboration between CUDO and Krannert Center for the Performing Arts 
will offer exciting new elements to the offbeat format that include free 
admission and an outdoor venue. The west terrace of the Center will be 
re-imagined as a outdoor club with DJ Mertz spinning in the Amphitheatre 
beginning at 7pm and an outdoor bar serving up beer specials throughout 
the night. Presenters will light up the building facade with their 
images, and plenty of seating will be added to accommodate a large crowd.

Topics and perspectives vary widely, but the high energy and diverse 
creativity have undeniable appeal to all. Confirmed presenters for PKN 
Volume 4 include Matt Childress (/Funstainable Transportation/), Stewart 
Dickson (/MakerSpace/), Peter Exley (PechaKucha Night Chicago 
Co-Organizer), Nan Goggin (/What Inspires Design/), Laura Hayden 
(/Trials and Tribulations of an Urbana Slumlord/), Will Leinweber 
(Co-founder of Merge.FM), Joanne Manaster (/My Little Black Book of 
Scientists I Love/), Hector Mandel (Aerial Photography), Jeff Mellander 
(Building Restoration), David Monk (/Preserving Prairie/), Rose 
Morefield (Costume Design), Michael Morgan (/Designing Your Life/), and 
Deke Weaver (/Elephant, a Performance/).
