工 N T E R V I E W Modern Art in New York and the Rij ksmus eum in Amsterdam—Baas, now 39 , doesn t act obviously high status. Sitting in the sleek showroom 0f Car- penters Workshop Gallery, his London dealer, he talks qmetly, with frequent pauses. He's wearing a slightly sqmshy-looking hat and his clothes—dark jacket, mustard waistcoat—are sharply styled but muted ⅲ color. You sense he'd rather be back in the studio welding metal than here, in a ntzy May- fair gallery. And he wants t0 talk about beauty. Like every Baas collection that followed it, S 襯 0 を began ⅱ as an intellectual concept— finding beauty in change, held in tension with permanence—that slowly tOOk form in three dimenslons. l)eslgners are supposed tO make beautiful things," Baas says, "but what is beauty? There are two ways tO consider what we believe is beautiful: perfection—like cars, which are very れ OOth and aerodynamlC—or nature, where everything is in flux. ln nature, nothing stays for- ever. " By using resin tO coat his burned pieces Of furniture—their structures blackened, all surface decoration scorched away—Baas sought tO first heighten, then preserve an imperfect, natural beauty. " [The collection] gave some fresh air to the design world, it was meant as a big statement on how everything has been done and how we need t0 make space for new things," he says. Outside of his one -0 代 projects—like the chair he designed as a response to the jailing of the Nobel Peace Prize winner Liu Xiaobo, or a fold- ing travel seat he made for Louis Vuitton—Baas s career tO date splits intO four main collections. ce iling 0f the arrivals hall—fe aturing a ladder for the imaginary worker t0 climb C4r424C ら Baas S newest collection, IS named after the hard shell of a tortoise or beetle. Each piece—including an arm- chair, sideboard cabinet and desk—is made ofmany small bronze sheets welded together t0 form a surface that looks a lit- tle like it was made from studded viking shields—though it was in fact inspired by 1950S refrigerators. Their hard, industrial nature conceals the craft behind them: Everything down to the hinge s is hand- made. "ln a way, you could say that Clay is the very opposite Of C4m24 化 , ” Baas says, because the Clay pieces looked very vulnerable and very exposed. [The two collections are] like the inside and the outside; bOth need each other. This is typical of Baas: He talks evoca- tively about his work, and takes an over- all view Of his practice. Few Other designers can or will dO this—most are keener tO discuss their latest pieces on the market, rather than previous work. lt might be one ofthe reasons why Baas is SO Often labeled as an artist ratherthan a designer. Then t00 there is the fact that he generally sticks tO producing limited-edition works instead Of partnering up with major design brands. And although he still lives in the middle ofthe some- what cliquey design community in Eindhoven, he seems happiest slightly outside it. lnstead of Superficially at least, it's tricky to identify any one style that unifies them.

ence is tO a conflict that broke out in 1942 , between political factions in the camp divided over how much to collaborate wlththeir Ame rican c aptors. The disorder was quelled by the military police, who killed two inmates. As the Death Valley tweet indicated, some Of the internees were taken t0 Death Valley, and seques- tered there for their own safety in a Civilian Conser- vation Corps campsite called COW Creek. The liberal policy site Mic branded the tweet an apparent act ofdefiance. Manzanar does not tweet, and itS rangers Stu- diously avoid politics. But they are also obviously aware Of what the camp means tOday, even if they aren't allowed tO discuss the obvious parallels. Ranger Rosemary Masters led me on a tour Of the camp.

"I don't think it was actually the wrong thing t0 d0 at the time, given what they knew," Greg says ofManzanar. He supports Trump s immigration ban: "We have no way 0f vetting them, so why should we be let- ting them in?" He makes the point that while the Japanese-Americans confined at Manzanar were American citizens, the people affected by Trump s mmigration order are not and are therefore not entitle d tO constitutional prote ctions. During the presidential campaign, Trump called syrian refugees a "Trojan horse," implying that ter- rorists lurked among them. MOSt refugees, in fact, are women and children. The image, however, comes from FDR. He used it during one Ofhis "fireside chats," in 1940 , tO warn a nation unprepared for treachery and thus ripe for exploitation by "SP1es, saboteurs and traitors. He invoked, as counterargument , the strength Of the American project, t0 which "the b100d and genius 0f all the peoples ofthe world" had contributed. "we have built well, ” Roosevelt concluded. Twitter helped elect Trump, but it's also the site Of strong anti-Trump sentiment. There was, for example, the brave soul whO manned the Twitter account at Badlands National Park and, on January 24 , sent out several tweets with statistics about our rapidly warming planet ・ The Trump administration doesn't believe in climate change, SO some white House martinet ordered the Badlands account tO go silent. That, 0f course, propelled those climate-change tweets intO hypervirality. Others started parsing the multitude of National park Service—related accounts for signs Of anti-Trump reSIStance. One Of the tweets cited for its subtle anti- Trump bent was by the Death Valley National Park account, WhiCh sent out thiS m1SSIve on January 25 : "During WWII Death Valley hosted 65 endan- gered internees after the #Manzanar RiOt.
