As a precursor to their upcoming exhibition ‘European Design since 1985’, The Indianapolis Museum of Art will host a two day international design symposium entitled ‘Shaping the New Century’.
Join designers, critics, scholars, manufacturers, dealers and students, including Alberto Alessi, Jurgen Bey, Matali Crasset, Catherine McDermott, and Richard Wright, for a lively examination of the present and future of European decorative and industrial design in a program conceived by R. Craig Miller, the IMA Curator of Design Arts.
The evolution of contemporary design will be discussed and examined in four sessions exploring the aesthetic and conceptual ideas that have transcended national boundaries from 1985 onward. The sessions will focus specifically on creating, manufacturing, judging, and marketing design.
