The Museum of Craft and Design, San Francisco presents “Raw Design,” exploring the history of technique, on view through October 28, 2018. The exhibition features works by a group of designers who, as the gallery says, “seem to prefer inventing new techniques.”Guest curated by Glenn Adamson, “Raw Design” presents works by Omer Arbel, Dana Barnes, Brooke Breckner, Scott Bodenner, Iris Eichenberg, Jes Fan, FormaFantasma, Karin Forslund, GT2P, Marlene Huissoud, Misha Kahn, Julia Kunin, Max Lamb, Beth Lipman, Julia Lohmann, Mieke Meijer, Myra Mimlitsch-Gray, Gaetano Pesce, Lex Pott, Jonathan Swanz, Brad Evan Taylor, and Thaddeus Wolfe, along with additional works by Zoe Sheehan Saldaña.“The biggest story in 21st-century design has undoubtedly been the rise of the digital. Armed with new tools, we are connecting to each other in unprecedented ways. This powerful reshaping of human experience has brought many positive changes, but also a sense of unease. Digital experiences are not necessarily scaled to the human body. They often bring with them a dizzying sense of being unmoored from physicality, lost in a maze of constant mediation,” writes the gallery.“‘Raw Design’ marks an interesting moment in the history of technique. Rather than turning to long-established, complex repertoires like those of wood joinery and glass blowing, designers seem to prefer inventing new techniques, or else act as if their medium was being discovered for the first time,” adds the gallery.The exhibition is on view through October 28, 2018, at The Museum of Craft and Design, 2569 Third Street, San Francisco, CA 94107For more details, visit: https://sfmcd.org/Click on the slideshow for a sneak peek at the exhibition.http://www.blouinartinfo.com/ Founder: Louise Blouin Read more
