If you live in Austin, TX you may have noticed the new exhibit at the Austin Museum of Art: Everyday Objects: extra-ordinary Austin Design.We are honored to be featured in this exhibit. This exhibition is running concurrently with the Whitney Museum of American Art's "Extra-Ordinary: The Everyday Object in American Art" exhibit. The exhibit runs August 25 - November 4, 2007.
Here's what the AMOA's website wrote:
EVERYDAY OBJECTS: Extra-Ordinary Austin Designs
In response to Extra-Ordinary: The Everyday Object in American Art, AMOA presents a selection of everyday objects created by Austin-based designers.
The exhibition features those ingenious, yet ubiquitous, objects we use everyday that have been transformed to tickle the consumer's imagination. The discrete display will feature such objects as a Dell laptop from M3 Design; a dog bowl from WetNoz; and a water cooler from Design Edge -- all Austin-based, award winning, industrial design firms.
Presented as an occasional exploration in design, AMOA hopes this juxtaposition of the art object and the design object in everyday life will create a compelling dialogue for our lives today.
EVERYDAY OBJECTS: Extra-Ordinary Austin Designs is organized by the Austin Museum of Art and curated by Eva Buttacavoli, Director of Exhibitions and Education.
