The Museum of Arts and Design (MAD) champions contemporary makers across creative fields—presenting artists, designers, and artisans who apply the highest level of ingenuity and skill to their work. Since the Museum’s founding in 1956 by philanthropist and visionary Aileen Osborn Webb, MAD has celebrated all facets of making and the creative processes by which materials are transformed, from traditional techniques to cutting-edge technologies. Today, the Museum’s curatorial program builds upon a rich history of exhibitions that emphasize a cross-disciplinary approach to art and design, and reveals the workmanship behind the objects and environments that shape our everyday lives. MAD provides an international platform for practitioners who are influencing the direction of cultural production and driving 21st-century innovation, fostering a participatory setting for visitors to have direct encounters with skilled making and compelling works of art and design.

ArtRabbit: "#TheWorldofAnnaSui at MAD | Museum of Arts and Design explores the seminal fashion designer's reinvention of pop culture fashion with her signature rock-and-roll romantic label that samples culture from a variety of time periods."
https://bit.ly/2rO25aa
Born and raised in Detroit, educated and discovered in New York, Anna Sui reinvented pop culture fashion with her signature rock-and-roll romantic label in the 1990s and has remained a design icon ever since.
A rock chick at heart, @annasui has always looked for ways to incorporate music into her work. Genres like punk and grunge have have played a significant role in #theworldofannasui, whether it be selections for her carefully curated fashion show playlists or inspiration for some of her most iconic designs.
During next Saturday’s Anna’s Music and Muses conversation, Paper Magazine’s Mickey Boardman will moderate a spirited discussion of music, vintage fashion, and more between the iconic designer and one of her most important muses, musician and supermodel @misskarenelson.

Our guide to cultural events in New York City for children and teenagers happening this weekend and in the week ahead.
In Galerie Magazine's review of #burkeprize2019, Paul Laster wrote, " jewelry design and performance artist Lauren Kalman takes viewers further into the realm of fantasy with her exquisitely crafted golden headpiece, which torturously covers the head in a medieval chain mail mask, and grotesque nose-ring, that simulates droplets of golden snot dripping from the nostrils, as witnessed in her accompanying photographic self-portraits."
Visit madmuseum.org to book your tickets to see Kalman's showstopping pieces in person, along with the standout works from the exhibition's other 15 artists.

“Anna helped shape my style and also gave me an education in fashion. When I’d go visit her showroom or go to her house, there’d be books – fashion books, art books, music books, wall to wall, that were a constant source of inspiration for me. Anna is one of those rare people; she’s a curious mind in all forms, be it art, music, fashion, and then some. What has always impressed me about Anna is her thirst for knowledge, which continues today. But truly, Anna helped shape me, and helped shape by style. If it wasn’t for those days vintage shopping with Anna, I probably wouldn’t know half the things that I know in fashion.”
- Karen Elson (@misskarenelson), #theworldofannasui audio tour.

Burke Prize 2019 artist Jaydan Moore investigates material culture through his deconstructed and reassembled sculptures and wall hangings made from found silver-plated tableware from the 1940s to the 1970s. He explores the ability of cultural heirlooms to hold personal and collective memory as they move through the world, how meaning changes as the object is passed down generationally, and how this process adds perceived value, both sentimental and monetary.
Moore’s #BurkePrize2019 piece, Platter/Chatter is built from dozens of vintage trays. The artist’s practice of melding the individual pieces together connects numerous personal histories to give insight into the broader material culture of the United States.
Burke Prize 2019 is now on view until April 12.

From trippy videos at the Museum of Modern Art, to a long-awaited retrospective of pioneering artist Agnes Denes at the Shed.
One of the main inspirations for @AnnaSui’s Fall 1999 collection was the New England preppy bohemia of Murry Lerner’s Oscar-nominated film Festival (1967). The two became neighbors and good friends when Sui moved into her current Greenwich Village while she was working on the collection. Lerner’s music doc featuring the likes of #JoanBaez, #peterpaulandmary and #bobdylan helped fuel the look and feel of Sui’s folk-rock designs. Murry Lerner even made an abbreviated version of the film to project during the fashion show.
Join us tonight for as we screen a newly restored full-length version of the film, including a remastered soundtrack from the original concert and field recordings courtesy @CriterionCollection and @JanusFilms
@annasui and Murry Lerner’s son Noah Lerner will be in attendance to introduce the film.

Murry Lerner's Oscar-nominated film, Festival! documents the Newport Folk Festival from 1963 to 1966. Lerner captured some of the most memorable moments in music, including the first time Bob Dylan publicly performed using an electric guitar at the 1965 festival.
Not only was Lerner an Oscar-nominated director, but he was @AnnaSui’s neighbor when she first moved into her current Greenwich apartment while working on her Fall 1999 collection inspired by folk rock. The two became fast friends and the film ended up being a significant influence on the collection.
Join us this Thursday as we screen #Festival as a part of the #SuiScreens series. The screening will feature a newly restored version of the film including a remastered soundtrack from the original concert and field recordings, approved by #MurrayLerner before his death in 2017.

“It was a wonderful feeling to see the working girl, as well as a wide audience, taking to our free form abstract designs.”— Vera Neumann, 1969 Happy Labor Day! Vera Neumann’s rise in the textile industry as a producer of affordable, beautifully designed scarves paralleled the sharp increase in women’s participation in the workforce from 1950 onward: from nearly 35 percent In 1950 to a peak of 60 percent in 1999. Her videos and instruction booklets, on view in our exhibition “Vera Paints a Scarf: The Art and Design of Vera Neumann,” show how a Vera scarf became the ideal accessory to convey professionalism without sacrificing a love of color and style.

Described by Rolling Stone as “…a guerrilla Shakespeare production staged in a mosh pit,” Derek Jarman's Jubilee has been hailed by film critics and punk aficionadas as one of the greatest punk films ever created! See the film on the big screen at MAD on Thursday, May 16, 6:30 pm: http://bit.ly/2PQRUta In this dystopian cult classic, Queen Elizabeth I and her alchemist John Dee travel from the 1600s with the aid of Shakespeare’s Ariel from The Tempest, into a bleak, hyper-real version of 1970s London filled with gangs of violent punks and nihilistic businessmen. The film features performances by punk luminaries Jayne County and Adam Ant, alongside cameos from Siouxie and the Banshees and #theSlits, plus a score by Brian Eno.

See Roger Brown: Virtual Still Lifes which opens today! 🎊🎻🎊 As one of the leading figures in the Chicago Imagist school, Brown's work investigated the tension between illusionistic and “real” space and captured the postwar era's national mood as one of artificiality and theatricality. 🎭 Now on view at the Museum, the artist's personal, political, and provocative paintings and painted objects use bold colors, rhythmic patterns and compressed perspective that stylize an American “ambiance” influenced by the aesthetics of postwar advertising and film noir. 🌀🕵️♂️📽🕵️♀️🌀 Brown was a passionate collector of things, and the exhibition includes many of the artist's thrift store and yard sale finds, from vernacular ceramics and kitsch objects to exceptional works of folk and visionary art. The objects have been curated in distinct arrangements on display shelves that extend from the paintings frames. 🖼🏺 The exhibition runs through September 15: https://bit.ly/2VD2sl4 #RogerBrown
@goran.kling likes jewelry for all the unsophisticated ways it makes our lives just a little bit more glamorous. 💎 💎💎 Kling’s jewelry pieces are like slang: reference language, a seesaw of inclusion and exclusion, a kind of attitude for the taking. A lexicon of pop-culture staples is warped into one-off pieces relevant in today’s label-free version of individuality and self-expressiveness. . See Kling's work in Non-Stick Nostalgia: Y2K Retrofuturism in Contemporary Jewelry through July 21. 📀📀📀 The exhibition highlights the work of 29 international artists who explore the friction between the analog and the digital. ⚔️ _____ #NonStickNostalgia #Jewelry #GoranKling #JewelryArtist #Jewelry #Y2K #Y2KFashion #Y2KAesthetic

Get ready to jack in and feel the experiences of others! 💽 🔌We're wrapping up our Plastic Futures and Premillennial Tensions: 1990s Science Fiction Cinema before a New Millennium series with a screening of Kathryn Bigelow's sci-fi thriller, 〰️𝕊𝕥𝕣𝕒𝕟𝕘𝕖 𝔻𝕒𝕪𝕤 〰️ on starring Angela Bassett, Ralph Fiennes, Juliette Lewis, and Vincent D’Onofrio on Thursday, April 18, 6:30 pm. Tickets: https://bit.ly/2DeUpAn Set during the last two days of the twentieth century, the film follows former Los Angeles Police Department (LAPD) cop Lenny Nero (Fiennes), who now sells illegal SQUID discs, a technology that allows a person’s memories and physical sensations to be recorded and re-experienced, on the black market.

SOUND ON. 🎶🔊 🎶 Things are going to get a bit weird (in the best possible sense) in MAD's theater on Saturday, April 13 at 2 pm. We're holding 🆓screenings of the fantastical The Mind's Eye and Beyond the Mind's Eye! 🌀👁️🌀 One of the earliest examples of a film fully composed of computer-generated imagery (CGI), The Mind's Eye was assembled by 300 hundred artists working across the field of animation. 💻 Compiled into a loose narrative, the myriad CGI content spans demo reels, commercials, music videos, and feature films, to tell the story of the creation of Earth, the rise of civilization, and what might lie beyond. 🌎 Beyond the Mind’s Eye continues its predecessor’s goal of promoting the possibilities of computer animation in cinematic storytelling by presenting a narrative focused on planet-colonizing seeds that arrive via an asteroid. 🌱☄️ The film is presented as part of Plastic Futures and Premillennial Tensions: 1990s Science Fiction Cinema before a New Millennium in celebration of our exhibition Non-Stick Nostalgia: Y2K Retrofuturism in Contemporary Jewelry. 💿 👽 💎 ____ #NonStickNostalgia #Y2K #Y2Kaesthetic #90sfilms #SciFi #90sSciFi #CGI #Animation #TheMindsEye Michael Boydstun, Beyond The Mind's Eye, 1992.
