MoMA | Paola Antonelli’s “Talk To Me”
Paola Antonelli is one of the foremost authorities on the relationship between design, creativity, science and technology. Her 2008 show Design and the Elastic Mind forever changed the way we think about design’s place in our world and our lives, and now she’s gearing up to do it again with a major new MoMA exhibition called Talk to Me, slated for summer of 2011. In Talk to Me, Antonelli seeks to explore how technology is redefining the ever-evolving relationship between people and objects, the manner in which objects communicate with us, and the various ways designers are shaping those interactions. Check out this video where Antonelli talks about some of the core themes driving this exhibition and view a sneak preview of a few of the objects going to be included in the show.
MoMA | Andy Warhol: Motion Pictures
MoMA presents Andy Warhol: Motion Pictures, which focuses on the artist’s cinematic portraits and non-narrative, silent, and black-and-white films from the mid-1960s. Warhol’s Screen Tests reveal his lifelong fascination with the cult of celebrity, comprising a visual almanac of the 1960s downtown avant-garde scene. Included in the exhibition are such Warhol “Superstars” as Edie Sedgwick, Nico, and Baby Jane Holzer; poet Allen Ginsberg; musician Lou Reed; actor Dennis Hopper; author Susan Sontag; and collector Ethel Scull, among others. Other early films included in the exhibition are Sleep (1963), Eat(1963), and Kiss (1963–64). Twelve Screen Tests in this exhibition are projected on the gallery walls at large scale and within frames, some measuring seven feet high and nearly nine feet wide, while Kiss is shown at the rear of the gallery in a 50-seat movie theater created for the exhibition.
