Museum of Modern Art (MoMA) in New York is hosting an exhibition “How Should We Live? Propositions for the Modern Interior” that will be on view through April 23, 2017.The exhibition brings together a number of recent acquisitions by the Department of Architecture and Design of work by major women architect-designers, examining a range of environments including domestic interiors, exhibition displays, and retail spaces, exploring the complex collaborative partnerships, materials, and processes that have shaped the modernist interior. Focussing on specific interior spaces from the 1920s to the 1950s, the exhibition underscores the synthesis of design elements within each setting, and the connection of external factors like aesthetic, social, technological, and political on these works. Divided into three chronological groupings — the late 1920s to the early 1930s, the late 1930s to the mid-1940s, and the late 1940s into the 1950s — the exhibition brings together over 200 objects in total, but highlights a number of large-scale interiors by a number of designers including Lihotzky’s ‘Frankfurt Kitchen’ (1926–27), Reich and Mies’s ‘Velvet and Silk Café’ (1927), and Perriand and Le Corbusier’s study bedroom from the Maison du Brésil (1959).The exhibition is on view at Museum of Modern Art (MoMA), 11 West 53rd Street, New York, NY 10019, USA.
