Beauty: Cooper Hewitt Design Triennial Details
Review Beautiful surprises and surprising depth…. an exquisite survey, displaying an array of design as well as challenging our definitions of beauty. (Alexander Cavaluzzo Hyperallergic)Far from preaching a singular standard of beauty, the alluring pieces on display pose alternative, and refreshingly diverse depictions that break wide open that elusive, age-old notion. A catalogue companion to the show, itself a distinctive object, designed by Kimberly Varella of Content Object Design Studio, collects each of the featured designers’ takes on the topic, many of them poetic musings. (Aileen Kwun Dwell)[A] sumptuous catalog. (Avinash Rajagopal Metropolis)...sensation and astonishment trump function and systems. Traversing genres, "Beauty - Cooper Hewit Design Triennial"... showcases more than 250 works by 62 innovators from around the globe. (Diane Solway W Magazine)The show's wide range of works - well documented in a concurrent book, Beauty: Cooper Hewitt Design Triennial, released November 24 [2015] - expresses that all-are-welcome moment design finds itself in right now.
