"The Home Front: American Design Now" Returns With its First Physical Exhibition, "After the Museum"

5 March - 26 May '13

New York City
MAD Museum

Returning for its third season, MAD’s annual design program The Home Front: American Design Now will expand, for the very first time, into a physical exhibition titled After the Museum, on view from March 5 through May 26, 2013.

After the Museum will stage and present a series of installations and more than 40 public programs—master classes, lectures, and special projects—that will examine the full breadth of the oscillating relationship between designers and cultural institutions.

The second floor gallery will become a dynamic space, enlivened by ongoing installations by more than a dozen participants ranging from established architectural firms to experimental graphic design studios. Programs will also be presented on the second floor in a modular programming and educational space designed by Snarkitecture. The venue will host a variety of programs created by the often-underrepresented figures behind research and non-object-based design practices.
