We’re almost there. If you’ve walked by Columbus Circle recently,
you’ve noticed that we’ve proudly removed the construction scrim
from the glazed ceramic façade, revealing our spectacular new home.
And we’re very excited that we’re only a few months away from
opening the doors of the newest cultural institution in New York City.
The trustees and staff are very busy, finishing the capital campaign,
creating exhibitions and programs, and getting ready to move the
offices and our collection into the new building. We’re planning
a gala, grand opening week in late September to inaugurate
the new building. The centerpiece will be four exhibitions,
detailed in this issue, including three based on our jewelry and
permanent collections, and Second Lives: Remixing the Ordinary,
a groundbreaking exhibition that explores the global trend of
transforming ordinary mass-produced objects into works of art.
(See p. 4.)
Holly Hotchner
Now, for the first time in our history, we’ll have four exhibition floors,
two of them dedicated to showing the permanent collection. The
Tiffany & Co. Foundation Jewelry Gallery is the first resource center
in the country for contemporary jewelry, and our open studios
for artists-in-residence make it possible for us to show visitors the
creative process of turning unusual materials into art. Our wellknown, Zagat-rated retail store is expanding and the building will
be topped by a restaurant with panoramic views of Central Park.
We’ve literally “recycled” a building, unzipped it to let natural light
into the galleries, to connect the Museum with its surroundings, to
allow views inside and to let our visitors see the city and park beyond
the gallery walls.
Nanette L. Laitman, President of the Board of Trustees, has been the
strongest proponent of increasing our endowment. One of the
biggest remaining projects is the completion of the endowment
campaign. To that end, Nan made a generous endowment challenge
gift in 2006. (See story, opposite page.)
We’re eager to share the new MAD with all of our members and
friends—and with New York. Check our website for details on
the week of special, grand opening events and programs:
www.madmuseum.org.
Nanette L. Laitman, a philanthropist and longtime
supporter of the arts, first became involved with
the Museum of Arts and Design (MAD) 30 years ago,
when she received an invitation from then-director
Paul Smith to attend the opening of the exhibition,
The Great American Foot. At the time, she served as
a trustee of The New Museum of Contemporary Art,
and met Jerome Chazen, then Chairman of MAD.
She decided to join MAD and began traveling with
the Collectors Circle.
NL
For me, art has to be tactile or figurative. (She points to two recently
acquired figurative canvases in her living room, by the painters David
Nissan and Philip Pearlstein.) I cannot relate to abstract work. What
has always appealed to me is workmanship. And I love meeting
and talking with the artists.
Looking to the future, in addition to Nan’s
extraordinary generous capital contribution and
the naming of the Nanette L. Laitman Galleries, she
is also championing the Museum’s $20 million
endowment campaign to provide for a dependable
source of income for annual operations. Toward
that end, in 2006 she pledged to match one-to-one
every dollar raised for endowment up to $4 million,
in addition to an outright endowment gift. At this
time, the Museum has raised $12.5 million in
endowment. Laitman’s passionate and prescient
support will be recognized with the naming of the
Nanette L. Laitman Directorship.

museum of arts and design
What was your first experience with art?
My parents were collectors and I grew up surrounded by art. In our
apartment in the city, they had Impressionist paintings and antique
French and English porcelain. In the country they had English art and
needlepoint pictures from the 18th and 19th centuries.
As a young person, I was not artistic at all. But by living with art, I
learned to see. And once you learn how to see, you can buy art. You
can learn to separate good quality from the mediocre. I first collected
ceramic teapots. I don’t collect very much anymore, but my children
do. They travel a lot and buy art in the countries they visit.
Laitman joined the Board in 1994, was elected
president in 2000, and honored as one of the
Museum’s Visionaries! in 2002. Her dedication
to the Campaign for 2 Columbus Circle has been
tireless and constant. She serves on the Building
Committee and oversees gift policy and recognition.
Jerome Chazen, Chairman Emeritus and Chairman of the capital
campaign, has driven the campaign and the new building project
through his remarkable, daily leadership. Board Chairman Barbara
Tober has constantly contributed her extraordinary energy and
enthusiasm. The passion, hard work and tenacity of many people
have made our new museum possible. Individuals, city officials,
friends, agencies, corporations and foundations have helped over
the past five years to make our dream a remarkable reality.
The Museum was born 52 years ago on 53rd Street. Located first in
two different brownstone buildings, the Museum relocated to its
present space when the larger office tower above us opened in 1986.
Fifty-third Street has been a good home and allowed us to grow
and to develop into the defining institution in our field. We’ve long
outgrown our space; which does not accommodate our constantly
expanding programs and collections.

Letter from the Director
Nanette L. Laitman
How do you keep informed about the art world?
I read a lot of magazines, especially Art in America and ARTnews.
I also visit all the museums in the city. And I travel a lot, mostly with
arts groups.
What is it like for you to see the new museum take shape?
Building this new museum is an awesome experience and a unique
one for me. It’s always complicated to build in Manhattan, and
building costs are much higher here. I like to see the finished product
and now that the construction scrim is down, the project is taking
shape for me. Up until now I could not relate to wires and pipes. Now
it’s coming together and it’s extremely exciting. Now I can see where
things are going to be happening and it makes me feel good. The last
few months of the project will be fabulous.
How is the new museum important?
There is no other place to see the kinds of art we show—
contemporary decorative arts and design—and new ideas pursued
through glass, ceramic, metal, fiber and wood. We’re going to have
the best of the best that’s produced. For instance, some of the wood
artists working today, and whose work we show, are the finest ever.
What makes you proud of this museum?
The artists are what make this field personal. We’re all like a family.
Today’s artists have no place to be recognized other than MAD.
We’re not just collecting and showing pots and bowls anymore.
What are the rewards of leading a cultural institution?
We’re creating something new here. This museum is really coming
into its own. Our beautiful new building, expanded exhibitions,
education programs and audiences will only make us better.

Second Lives: Remixing the Ordinary
Exploring the global trend of transforming
everyday mass-produced objects into art
Gun triggers, spools of thread, tires, hypodermic needles, dog tags, old
eyeglasses and telephone books are among the many manufactured and
mass-produced objects that more than 50 contemporary, international
artists used to create works for Second Lives: Remixing the Ordinary, the
Museum’s inaugural exhibition at Columbus Circle.
Second Lives is a special thematic exhibition featuring artists from 17
countries who transform discarded, commonplace or valueless objects
into extraordinary works of art. Second Lives includes new commissions
and site-specific installations. Highlighting the creative processes that
repurpose these objects, the exhibition explores the transformation of
the ordinary into the extraordinary and stimulates debate on function,
value and identity.
Director Holly Hotchner says, “Second Lives reflects the Museum’s
core mission of celebrating materials and process. We live in a world
populated with consumer products and these artists make magic using
society’s castoffs and overlooked items. While the focus of the exhibition
is neither on sustainability nor recycling, the works in the exhibition are
a catalyst for thought and discussion about these issues. Second Lives is
especially timely as the Museum marks its own second life as a renewed
institution and as Columbus Circle enjoys its own renaissance.”
Organized by Chief Curator David Revere McFadden and Curator Lowery
Stokes Sims, Second Lives reflects a current interest among international
artists in using ordinary objects as raw materials, an approach rooted
in both Dada and Surrealism. The works on view bear implicit social
commentaries and explore themes of power, politics, identity, and value.
Moreover, each work remains faithful to the traditional standards of
craftsmanship, seen in processes that include carving, cabinetmaking,
appliqué and collage.
“Our perceptions of objects
as being functional or
aesthetic, cheap or valuable
are directly challenged…”
“Our perceptions of objects as being functional
or aesthetic, cheap or valuable are directly
challenged in the works on view in Second Lives,”
says McFadden. “The more than 50 artists that are
featured work in ways that resist categorization
and that further underscore a breakdown in the
hierarchy that has traditionally separated art,
craft and design. Instead, these intricately crafted
works reveal an intense engagement with ideas,
meaning, materiality and process.”

The exhibition begins with a selection of works
from the 1990s by Tejo Remy, Ingo Maurer and the
Campana brothers, among others, that provides
an introduction to repurposing of objects in
design. The exhibition traces the development
of this concept through a group of works created
within the past eight years by both established
and emerging artists, including Terese Agnew, El
Anatsui, Hew Locke, Devorah Sperber, Cornelia
Parker, Xu Bing, Do Ho Suh, Susie MacMurray and

Ghana-born and Nigeria-based artist El Anatsui
has created a new, site-specific work for the
exhibition, a rich, shimmering tapestry made
entirely and unexpectedly of foil from liquor
bottles. Anatsui’s tapestries speak to issues
relating to the African slave trade, when liquor
was used as payment for slaves, and to questions
of sustainability that are challenging Nigeria’s
rapid population growth. His work also reflects
traditional Kente craft and weaving.

top installation features a potpourri of white
ceramic tchotchkes and vessels used in everyday
life that surround a large plaster reproduction of

whiteness, a “mammy-headed” cookie jar sparks a
conversation about race, colonialism, and cultural
hierarchy that has been the fodder of art discourse
since the 1980s.

Elegant Armor: The Art of Jewelry
Exhibition of masterpieces from the collection
to inaugurate The Tiffany & Co. Foundation
Jewelry Gallery
Permanently Mad: Revealing the Collection
Museum presents works never before shown
The Museum will inaugurate The Tiffany & Co. Foundation Jewelry
Gallery in its new Columbus Circle home with Elegant Armor: The Art
of Jewelry. The exhibition looks at the inspirations for contemporary
jewelry, including the fine arts, the human form, the natural world, and
technology. The more than 130 works featured, from1948 to the present,
are drawn from the museum’s collection of approximately 450 modern
and contemporary designs. The Tiffany & Co. Foundation Jewelry
Gallery, which houses the collection in accessible drawers, is a unique
study center dedicated exclusively to contemporary jewelry.
The Museum will inaugurate its Collections Gallery with 250 of
the most significant works from its permanent holdings, many
never previously shown to the public. Permanently MAD: Revealing
the Collection will feature the work of groundbreaking artists and
designers from 1950s through the present day, including Jack Lenor
Larson, Wendell Castle, Faith Ringgold, Roy Lichtenstein, George
Segal, Cindy Sherman and Betty Woodman among many others.
“We’re very grateful to our partners at The Tiffany
& Co. Foundation,” Director Holly Hotchner notes.
“This innovative international resource center is
a significant addition to MAD and to the field of
contemporary jewelry. Our new jewelry center will
be an important destination for New York’s culture
and fashion communities.”
“Since its founding in 1956, the Museum has had a
distinguished history of interpreting the cultural
significance of modern and contemporary jewelry,”
says Ursula Ilse-Neuman, recently named Curator
of Contemporary Jewelry, who organized Elegant
Armor. “Our permanent collection of jewelry and
exciting exhibition programming highlights
the work of both established and emerging artists
from around the world. MAD’s collection explores
the range of concepts, materials and techniques
that make contemporary jewelry one of today’s
most compelling art forms.”
“We are pleased to have funded the creation of The
Tiffany & Co. Foundation Jewelry Gallery, which
embodies the Foundation’s mission to enhance
the appreciation of jewelry as an art form,” said
Fernanda M. Kellogg, President of The Tiffany &
Co. Foundation. “Through an innovative program
of exhibitions and by establishing the gallery as a
research center, we hope to support the Museum’s
efforts to educate and inspire both emerging
artists and all those who have an interest in jewelry.”
The collection—with styles ranging from minimal
to theatrical, and materials from the everyday
to the opulent—presents major themes in
contemporary jewelry. The exhibition is divided
into four broad sections: Sculptural Forms,
Narrative Jewelry, Painted and Textured Surfaces,
and Radical Edge.
Sculptural Forms
Many prominent artists emphasize pure form,
creating jewelry that functions as small sculpture,
on and off the body. These works range from
minimalist, biomorphic and organic, to kinetic
jewelry and pieces informed by architecture
and engineering. Minimalist works include the
celebrated 1967 Armband by Gijs Bakker and Emmy
van Leersum and Linda MacNeil’s 1995 geometric
necklace of mirrored glass and gold, a significant
recent acquisition of the Museum.
Narrative Jewelry
Narrative jewelry, in addition to using signs and
symbols, stories and legends, and sociopolitical
messages, includes images inspired by nature or
the human body. Swiss artist Verena Sieber-Fuchs’s
Apart-heid Collar, 1968, made of fruit wrapping
tissue paper used for South African oranges,
comments on social injustice. The human hand
is depicted in the 1992 Metamorfosi bracelet by
Italian sculptor-jeweler Bruno Martinazzi.

These highlights trace the phenomenal rise of the studio craft
tradition in America following World War II, and its evolution into
today’s dynamic synthesis between art, craft and design from a global
point of view. As the first in an ongoing series of thematic explorations
of MAD’s collection, this exhibition marks the first time in the
Museum’s 52-year history that its internationally renowned collection
will be presented in dedicated gallery spaces, which occupy an
entire floor of the new building.
An entire gallery will display a selection of the many gifts to the
Museum since the beginning of the building campaign. Collectors,
artists, and galleries from around the world have contributed major
historic masterworks in ceramics, glass, metal, wood, and fiber, which
will be on view with cutting edge new work by international artists
and studio practitioners.
Permanently MAD is organized thematically and
breaks with traditional installation methods that
present works chronologically, geographically or
by media. Instead, the exhibition offers visually
stimulating comparison among works that share a
common concept. Works on view will be grouped
into three thematic sections that introduce
the viewer to different ways of approaching
contemporary art. “Description” looks at the work’s
visual language or aesthetics; “Intention” at the
ways in which artists express their inner thoughts
and feelings; and “Reflection” at the political,
social, and cultural context in which the work was
created.
Painted and Textured Surfaces
Some artists achieve brilliant color in their pieces
by inlaying metals, enameling, or using stones
or beads. Earl Pardon’s 1979 Necklace reflects a
painterly approach to the use of enamel. Colored
stones also add chromatic interest. Native
American contemporary jewelry pioneer Charles
Loloma uses brilliant turquoise in his 1968 Bracelet.
Radical Edge
Many works in the Museum collection are
conceptual in design. Innovator Stanley Lechtzin
used rapid prototyping stereo-lithography to make
his 1999 Plus-Minus Brooch, while Danielle Kerner’s
1999 Mag-Brooch was made with selective laser
incisions in DuraForm polyamide joined by rare
earth magnets.
Holly Hotchner, Director of MAD, says, “It is
gratifying to present the Museum collection for
the enjoyment of our visitors for the first time in
our history. The Museum was the first collecting
institution focused entirely on studio craft, and
has been a leader in the documentation of this
aspect of twentieth-century art. Today the Museum
fills a unique niche in the cultural world as it
continues to expand its collections in all of the
related fields—art, design, fashion, architecture—
where the values of traditional craftsmanship are
of critical importance.”

Chief Curator David Revere McFadden states, “We
believe that our visitors will be astonished and
delighted to see such an exceptional range of
creativity in the works included in this inaugural
exhibition. The diversity of approaches to design
and fabrication in the fields of ceramics, glass,
metalwork, wood and furniture, textiles and
fibers is striking, and a testament to the limitless

New Trustees
Fuchs, Johnson and Silverstein join
Museum’s Board of Trustees
Perspectives
First Thoughts on Second Lives by
David Revere McFadden, Chief Curator
The three newest members of the Board of Trustees are Kris Fuchs,
owner of a furniture and design showroom and store; Linda
Johnson, a foundation president; and Klara Silverstein, who is active
in educational, medical and Jewish organizations.
Developing an appropriate theme for the special exhibition to
inaugurate the fourth and fifth floor galleries was a daunting task.
Over the 52 years of the Museum’s history, virtually every studio
craft medium had been explored through exhibitions—all types of
ceramics, international glass, traditional and experimental fiber,
turned wood and furniture, metalwork and jewelry.
Kris Fuchs
Kris Fuchs is founder and principal of Suite New
York, a leading Manhattan store featuring modern
and contemporary furniture and design. She
established her business after collecting vintage
modern furniture for 15 years. Fuchs directs her
company’s public relations and marketing, and
works constantly with the design world. The store
sells furniture by Hans Wegner, Arne Jacobsen,
Poul Kjaerholm, Fabricius Kastholm, Vico
Magistretti and Achille Castilglioni. Earlier in her
career, she ran a fashion production agency.
Kris Fuchs
Over the decades since the founding of the Museum, studio craft has
evolved dramatically and today is embedded in a wider range of art
and design than ever previously imagined. Clearly, a new approach
was needed to reveal today’s rich diversity of international talent that
challenges the traditional boundaries and hierarchies separating art,
craft, and design. Second Lives: Remixing the Ordinary, which features
work by more than 50 artists from around the world and inaugurates
the special exhibition galleries, is a departure from the expected.
“I’m involved with MAD because I want to contribute
to my community,” says Fuchs, “and because I love
to see how much joy our visitors experience looking
at the artistic creations of others.”
Rather than looking at traditional materials,
it focuses on how artists and designers create
new materials for making art from ordinary
manufactured objects. These artists reclaim,
repurpose and transform the mundane—plastic
spoons, spools of thread, telephone directories,
metal neck-wraps from liquor bottles, gun triggers
and labels from designer clothing—into engaging,
compelling, and provocative works of art.
She sees that the Museum’s “mixture of art and
design, including embroidery, textiles, glass, wood,
sculpture, ceramics, jewelry, and so much more
makes it really unique.”

Through exceptional craftsmanship, these artists
give a second life to the mundane and ubiquitous
things that surround us all. They bring together
hundreds and sometimes thousands of identical
objects with consummate skill and focused
labor. The title of the exhibition also alludes to
the “second life” of the museum building, and
to a new chapter in the Museum’s history. The
Museum’s newest curator, Lowery Stokes Sims,
brought her knowledge of contemporary art to
bear in searching out of artists for the exhibition,
and Adjunct Curator Brian Parkes from Australia
contributed his international vision. Since many
of the artists have chosen to create large-scale
installation works, the expertise of Exhibitions
Curator Dorothy Twining Globus and installation
architect Todd Zwigard were essential to the
success of the enterprise.

also encourage the staff to stretch; to reach the

From its inception, the exhibition created
international networks that involved the artists,
galleries, collectors, and other curators who
provided leads to additional artists. The exhibition
now includes work by artists from Australia,
Brazil, China, France, Germany, India, Italy, Japan,
Mexico, The Netherlands, Nigeria, South Korea,
Taiwan, United Kingdom, and the United States.
The curatorial team sought artists working in the
most unexpected materials and techniques, artists
whose work reveals “the joy of making” that is
central to the art, craft, and design of our day.
One of the great pleasures of working on this show
has been getting to know the artists. Lowery and
I have struck up so many new friendships with
wonderful artists like El Anatsui from Nigeria,
Xu Bing from China, and Susie MacMurray from
England, among many others.
We visited studios all over New York, from Harlem
and Chelsea, to Brooklyn and Queens. It is
always wonderful to talk with the artists on their
own territory, as it gives a wonderful contextual
background to what we have chosen for the
exhibition. And sometimes we went with a specific
work in mind, only to change our mind once we
saw other pieces in the studio. Some of the studios
were down rickety stairs, others in pristine white
laboratories, and even one in an unheated garage
that we visited on the coldest day of January, but all
were memorable.
We have taken many of the artists through the
new Museum building on hard hat tours, and they
are truly energized and thrilled to know that their
work will launch the Museum.
David Revere McFadden is MAD’s Chief Curator and
Vice President for Programs and Collections.
“The Allied Works design for the new building is
wonderful,” Johnson says, “and I believe MAD will
be welcomed by this already thriving retail and
performing arts neighborhood with its enviable
mixture of tourists and residents. It is very exciting
to be part of reinventing the Museum.”

Museum Expands Educational Facilities
Launches new initiatives at Columbus Circle
In the Studio
Michael Bierut on the design
of the MAD Identity
The Center for the Study of Arts and Design
Housed in its expanded sixth floor headquarters, the Education
Department’s Center for the Study of Arts and Design is an exceptional
new resource for producing and presenting an array of established
and new programs.
With the Museum’s move to Columbus Circle, we had a chance to
reinvent ourselves in more ways than one. This included our logo. We
entrusted this task to the New York office of the design consultancy
Pentagram, which is also designing our signs and a variety of distinctive
media installations throughout our new home. We talked to Pentagram
partner Michael Bierut about how he went about creating a new graphic
identity for the new MAD.
“The programs at the Center create environments for inquiry and
exploration, where studio-based activities form an important element
and allow diverse visitors, school groups, teachers and families to
interact with working artists,” says Brian MacFarland, Associate Vice
President for Education.
Dedicated classroom and seminar rooms provide
a setting for delving deeper into specific subjects
and issues such as sustainability, the political
and social contexts of exhibitions, the permanent
collection and much more. Long established
programs—weekday school groups, weekend
workshops, teacher training sessions and summer
day camp groups—will be enhanced and offered
alongside new initiatives. The 150-seat auditorium
on the Museum’s lower level will feature film and
music programs and serve as a forum for leading
artists, critics, curators and writers.
The Open Studios program offers a behind-thescenes view into the artistic practice, allowing all
visitors to interact with working artists. Each day,
artists work in studios with materials including
ceramics, fiber, mixed media, cold-glass and small
metals. During scheduled visiting hours, the artists
will discuss their process, materials and concepts
with visitors, and illuminate the way their process
relates to the artwork on view in the galleries. The
studios will be used by a combination of local
working artists, exhibition artists, and visiting
artists and designers whose work represent the core
mission of the Museum.
Partnerships and Community Outreach
The Education Department collaborates
with numerous arts, cultural, civic and social
organizations, and with schools and other
educational institutions. The MAD seminar
room and classroom will become a hub for groups
from the craft, contemporary art, design and
furniture communities.
New Media Initiatives
The Museum will greatly extend its reach online
with a newly revamped website and its fresh
visual look, part of the new graphic identity being
created by the design firm Pentagram. Among the
site’s captivating new aspects will be a navigable
database of the Museum’s entire collection,
allowing users (including teachers and students in
their classroom) to search for particular pieces of
art, then browse through information and related
media on that piece, including audio and video.
Additional multi-media features on the Museum’s
website—madmuseum.org—include videos of
conservators at work preparing the museum’s
collection for public display, curators as they visit
artists’ studios in preparation for the museum’s
upcoming exhibits, and many more events, public
programs and lectures.
Podcasts give a focused look at Museum programs
and events. Visitors can download podcast
episodes that are highly accessible, educational
and entertaining. Each new program will further
establish the Museum as a destination for all
topics related to art, craft and design.
Volunteer Corps
As part of its expansion, the Museum has begun
formalized training for its corps of more than
30 volunteer gallery interpreters. This includes
a newly created series of educational sessions
focused on the five materials prominent in the
MAD permanent collection—wood, metal, glass,
ceramics and fiber. MAD docents will attend two
sessions for each of the five materials. The format
includes an historical context lecture, an artist
talk, and a studio field trip or hands-on workshop.
Membership is competitive and the docent corps
has been expanded to include individuals who
will contribute administrative support without the
responsibility of presenting tours.
museum of arts and design
We also wanted a way of writing the name that could embody the values
of the museum, something that seemed inventive and surprising,
and that could appear in different ways on different occasions. The
museum, after all, is dedicated to artists who take typical forms—say,
vessels, or chairs—and transform them over and over again with their
creativity. We hope that the simple forms of the new logo will permit
just that kind of transformation.
New Programming
New program initiatives include workshops
for children under six years old with their adult
companions; birthday parties incorporating
art-making workshops; a teen after-school
program; youth claymation workshops and a
culminating film festival; hands-on programs
for the visually impaired and other special needs
audiences; workshops held during school vacation
periods; family gallery guides; a paid high school
internship program; portfolio development
program for high school and college students;
and a student docent program.
The Museum has entered the blogosphere and
staff members will be posting thoughts on a
variety of subjects on the MAD blog. Posts from the
Education Department on its ongoing programs
will sit alongside curators’ commentaries on the
latest SOFA (International Exposition of Sculpture
Objects and Functional Art) show for example, or
interesting new literature in the field. Those artists
invited to work in the open studios also will be
invited to add their insights on the Museum’s blog.

What was the biggest challenge in creating a logo for MAD?
Your acronym is a great asset. It’s short, pronounceable and
memorable. But it’s also in some ways overly familiar. For example,
there already is a well-known MAD logo, which appears on the cover
of a magazine that I loved when I was twelve. So part of the problem
is to make it surprising, less familiar, and proprietary—to come up
with a MAD that could only be yours.
MB
In the end, we decided to start with MAD’s fantastic location. It’s a
more or less square building that sits on the most prominent circle in
Manhattan. By combining squares and circles, we came up with
an alphabet that rendered a great MAD monogram. Some people
who see it are reminded of Edward Durrell Stone’s famous—or
infamous—“lollipop” columns, which Brad and his team have retained
as “ghosts” visible from outside the building.

sketches and notes before translating
them with thread and felt into an
embroidered work of art.

a lively conversation with third-grade
students about Paul Villinski’s work
Lament in the exhibition Pricked: Extreme
Embroidery.
How did you arrive at the final form of the logo?
Did you consider other possibilities along the way?
We tried lots of different things, including changing the acronym
altogether. At one point, we developed an interesting linear version that
echoed the ingenious system of connected light slots that Brad Cloepfel
designed in the walls, floors and ceilings of the gallery spaces.
“it’s a square building
that sits on the most prominent
circle in Manhattan.
MB
MB
Did you say there’s a whole alphabet?
Yes, the team here created an alphabet and numbers based on the basic
MAD combination, again, made out of squares and circles. It’s fun but,
as you can imagine, not the easiest thing in the world to read. It wouldn’t
work too well on fire exit signs, for instance. But it definitely reflects the
inventive spirit of MAD, and we hope to use it on special occasions. We
have a more conventional typeface, Futura, which we’re using for signage
and—to use an immediate example—the headlines in this newsletter.
Like your logo, it’s based on geometry, with a perfectly round letter “o.”
Where else will we see the logo?
The logo will be the basic identifier for the museum, showing up on
everything from shopping bags to promotional material, a different
way every time. We also have an amazing program of digital media
designed by my partner Lisa Strausfeld and her team. This includes
animated totems that will serve as directories to the various floors of the
museum, screens facing the sidewalk that will let passersby know what’s
happening inside, and kiosks with interactive databases that will let you
explore the collection. You’ll see the identity there as well.
