August 2, 2009–October 19, 2009
Exhibit -  ROD ARAD @ MOMA

Among the most influential designers of our time, Ron Arad (Israeli, b. 1951) stands out for his daredevil curiosity about technology and materials and for the versatile nature of his work. Over the past twenty-five years, he has produced an outstanding array of innovative objects, spanning from the limited to the almost unlimited series, from carbon fiber armchairs to polyurethane bottle racks. This exhibition will be the first major retrospective of Arad's design work in the United States. A designer and an architect, trained at the Jerusalem Academy of Art and at London's Architectural Association, he has also designed memorable spaces, some plastic and tactile,
others ethereal and digital.

ALSO showing at moma What Was Good Design? MoMA's Message 1944–56
At mid-century MoMA played a leading role in the definition and dissemination of so-called Good Design, a concept that took shape in the 1930s and emerged with new relevance in the decades following World War II. This installation presents selections from MoMA's design collection that illuminate the primary values of Good Design as promoted (and disputed) by museums, design councils, and department stores. Iconic pieces by designers like Charles and Ray Eames and Hans Wegner are shown alongside more unexpected items, such as a hunting bow and a plumb bob, as well as everyday objects including an iron, a hamper, a rake, a cheese slicer, and Tupperware.

MOMA Exhibit -- In Situ: Achitecture & Landscape
(closes Sept 14th )

Museum of Modern Art
In recent decades "landscape" has taken on an expanded definition in architecture. In the first half of the twentieth century, the architectural avant-garde celebrated autonomy from nature, and architects devised utopian schemes for creating urban realms ex novo, with little consideration for their surroundings. More recently, however, the challenges of a threatened environment and rapidly expanding cities have fostered a revised understanding of landscape.
