Core77 Video Drive-by: Second Lives: Remixing the Ordinary: Interview with Chief Curator, David Mc Fadden
Posted in: UncategorizedIf you haven’t seen the Second Lives gallery on Core 77 yet, you can check it here.
But if you live in New York City, we recommend checking out the Second Lives Symposium this Saturday from 1-5pm. Speakers include: MAD curators, Curator Namita Gupta Wiggers of the Museum of Contemporary Craft, Former ID Magazine Editor Steven Skov Holt, art historian Mara Holt Skov, along with artists Boris Bally, Sonya Clark, and Devorah Sperber.
Since the opening of its new building on Columbus Circle, the Museum of Arts and Design has had overwhelmingly positive response from the public with over 160,000 visitors since the end of September, doubling both last year’s attendance numbers and projections.
In response to this great demand, the Museum is extending its inaugural exhibition Second Lives: Remixing the Ordinary. Second Lives, a thematic exhibition featuring 54 contemporary artists from 18 countries who transform commonplace objects into astonishing works of art, will run for an additional two months until April 19, 2009. A new work, The Hope Throne, by Mozambique artist Goncalo Mabunda, will be added to the exhibition. We caught up with Chief Curator, David Mc Fadden to talk about the ideas behind Second Lives.
