MONDAY BYTES — March 2, 2015
MSM alum pianist Eunbi Kim, (thank you, Eunbi!) pointed me to the current show, Maira Kalman Selects at the Cooper Hewitt Smithsonian Design Museum and sent me a link to this terrific video (17:30) about Maira’s process and thinking about the show.
In the show, Maira has selected 40 pieces from the collection and positioned and designed our experience with these items in a way to change our thinking and how we see the world.
The video includes a portion on Maira’s partnering with composer Nico Muhly on the work Object Songs commissioned by the Cooper Hewitt as part of the show.
Maira’s show got me wondering: how are we curating what we have around us: what and who we associate with. How are we choosing our influences?
In the video, Maira asks, this question for the week:
“What do you look at to inspire you to go on to the future?”
As always, I’d love to hear your thoughts!For info on working with me: details are HERE.
