This Week: Don’ t Miss Out On Playing With Your Food, Escaping Manhattan and Climbing Icebergs
Jumpstart your week with our insider’s guide to events in the design world. As the summer exhibit season comes to a close, we’re sad to see our favorites go. Here are some must-see exhibits ending this month that you’ll want to catch before it’s too late:
Monday
You Can Still Get Trippy at GROW
It’s okay if you missed the GROW workshop a few weeks ago—the exhibit runs through tomorrow! Take a walk around a studio where mushroom mycelium gets transformed into lampshades. You may not get to grow something yourself, but the process steps are clearly displayed on the walls of the studio, giving you an inside look into the fsacinating process.
New York, NY. On view through August 30, 2016.
Tuesday
Escape from the Real Manhattan While You Still Can at Sharing Models: Manhattanisms
Each model in this exhibit represents a section of Manhattan. The models establish analytical, conceptual, and physical frameworks for inhabiting and constructing urban spaces and the public sphere. Together, they present a composite figure—a territory that is simultaneously fictional and real, opening a window to new perceptions of the city’s shared assets.
New York, NY. On view through September 2, 2016.
Wednesday
Catch ICEBERGS Before it Melts Away
Designed by James Corner Field Operations, ICEBERGS represents an underwater world of glacial ice spanning the National Building Museum’s enormous Great Hall. The immersive installation features climbable icebergs, “ice” chutes, and caves to explore.
Washington, DC. On view through September 5th, 2016.
Thursday
Focus On Objects After Objects
Objects After Objects is part of Portugal’s Pavilion at the Triennale di Milano. The exhibit proposes a reflection on contemporary project-related practice, including everything from its creative to political aspects. You can expect to see various objects that push the boundaries of classic design.
Milan, Italy. On view through September 12, 2016.
Friday
Dance On Over to Dance Like a Tree
This exhibit is comprised of wearable wood pieces that create sounds while being worn. These tree bark-like suits explore the ambiguity between movement and immobility while covering the whole body. The wearer becomes an abstracted form with a barely recognizable silhouette, creating focus around the senses and perception of the animated objects.
Amsterdam, Netherlands. On view through September 18, 2016.
Saturday/Sunday
Play With Your Food (Before it’s Considered Taboo Again) at Tempting Art
For Tempting Art, designers Maurizio Galante and Tal Lancman invited 22 artists and designers to concoct a three-course culinary design menu, meant to be devoured with the eyes. The playful concept explores what happens when we throw the “Don’t play with your food!” cautionary mentality aside and celebrate the kitchen as a playground.
Luxembourg, Luxembourg. On view through September 19, 2016.
