Born out of Necessity: Contemporary Design and the Myth of Problem Solving
Have you ever encountered a definition—of art, design, poetry, or any creative endeavor—that you found truly satisfying? The ones that have the soundbite-ready punch that allows them to take hold in the public memory tend to be generic and superficial. Unless, as a curator, you learn to use them as doors into the sublime complexity of the field you explore and love.

Behind the Scenes
Architect Collaborations at the MoMA Design Store: Stephan Jaklitsch
Terrain Vase. Stephan Jaklitsch. 2011
In 1932, MoMA established the world’s first curatorial department devoted to architecture and design. Since then, the MoMA Design Store has collaborated with a number of established and emerging architects, inviting them to develop thoughtful, engaging home products that encourage exploration of the discipline’s key themes including structure, spatial organization, and materials.

Word Up
I’m a big fan of words; letters and the written word to be a little more precise. And not just the sound and meaning, but actual words—their physicality, their shape and form, and how they look. I have a nephew who was crazy for the letter “u”; specifically the lower case “u,” with serifs.

Many serious and portentous things could be said about the exhibition Talk to Me</a>. I don’t intend to say any of them.

MoMA’s Got an Expert Model Surfboard
Hobie Alter. Expert Model Hobie Surfboard, view of deck. 1958
In its August 1997 issue, Longboarder magazine ran a story on MoMA’s Hobie surfboard with the tag line “MoMA’s Got a Woody: Yes, But is it Art?” Fun hook, but perhaps the wrong question. The better question might be, why a surfboard? or better still, why this surfboard?

Talk to Me Can’t Stop Talking

The exhibition Talk to Me: Design and the Communication between People and Objects is up and running in our Special Exhibitions Gallery on the third floor. The public is behaving just the way we dreamt they would, not only diving into individual exhibits, reading, taking pictures and videos, clicking and dragging, and listening, but also taking full advantage of the interactive features in the galleries and beyond.
