Descripción / Sinopsis

"New York: Nomadic Design" is an exhibition that affirms the crossover as it confirms basic categories: first, established as well as new designers and the studios that produce industrial, graphic, furnishing, interior, and urban/landscape design; second, New York guerrilla design, the often but not always anonymous design on New York's streets, mostly in its poor and/or ethnic neighborhoods. Depicted chiefly as a sub-text here, the second shows the influence of popular culture and suggests connections and manners from the street that affect all New York. Graffiti scripts and pictographs, for instance, emerge as "legitimate" signage on stores, thus dueling with work of establishment designers as well as challenging the urban order on issues like homelessness.
