Hello,
I thought this curatorial talk may be of interest to F&M students who like design (student discount tix available).
The Cooper Hewitt we just opened a new reinstallation of our permanent collection called Design Across Time. On Tuesday July 21st at 6:30pm the curatorial team will be talking about the behind-the-scenes process of how they built the checklist, chose the themes, worked out the layout etc.
Design Across Time – A Conversation with the Curators | Cooper Hewitt, Smithsonian Design Museum
In a new landmark presentation of Cooper Hewitt’s collection, Design Across Time: Exploring Smithsonian’s Design Collection brings together more than 125 works across multiple design disciplines, including product and graphic design, fashion, textiles, digital design, wallcoverings and architecture. Join the curatorial team for an inside look at how this major new installation came together, from shaping its central themes to choosing objects from the museum’s vast collection. Light refreshments will be provided after the illustrated conversation.
