Notes Design

Second Lives: Remixing the Ordinary will be the inaugural exhibition at the Museum of Arts & Design when it opens to the public today at it's new home, 2 Columbus Circle. The exhibition features work by 50 international established and emerging artists from all five continents who create objects and installations comprised of ordinary and everyday manufactured articles, most originally made for another functional purpose.

The exhibition includes works by well known designers, Ingo Maurer, the Campana Brothers and Tejo Remy, as well as internationally acclaimed artists, such as Tara Donovan, Xu Bing, Do Ho Suh, and El Anatsui.
