Project: "What Is Design Today?," an exhibition that introduces design to a wide audience using significant contemporary objects and hands-on experience. The show investigates the intersection of material culture and the post-Industrial and Digital Ages through six thematic and self-contained displays. The exhibition will be designed by Boym Design Studio, and draws its conceptual framework from co-curator George Marcus's companion volume, to be published by Abrams in 2002. A companion lecture series and broad outreach effort will also be undertaken. Project Dates: October-December, 2002
