[DESIGN]. Paola Antonelli, Glenn D. Lowry, Barry Bergdoll, Hugh Aldersey-Williams, Ted Sargent, Peter Hall, et al. "Design and the Elastic Mind [Signed, Inscribed by Paola Antonelli]." New York: Museum of Modern Art, 2008. Signed and inscribed in ink by Antonelli on title page: [to Yancey, Such a pleasure to meet you. Ciao Paola 12/15/10]. English language. Softcover with pictorial wrappers and French flaps. Nonfiction design exhibition catalog with critical texts, foreword, preface, index, and full-color illustrations throughout. 9 1/2 x 7 5/8 inches. 24 oz. 192 pp. Text clean. Near Fine. ISBN: 9780870707322. "Over the past few decades, we have experienced dramatic changes in some of the most established dimensions of human life: time, space, matter and individuality. Today our minds must be able to synthesize such transformations, whether they are working across several time zones, traveling between satellite maps and nanoscale images, gleefully drowning in information or acting fast in order to preserve a bit of down-time. Organized by Paola Antonelli, Museum of Modern Art Curator of Architecture and Design, Design and the Elastic Mind focuses on the ability of designers to grasp momentous advances in technology, science and social mores, and to convert them into useful objects and systems. Included projects range from nanodevices to vehicles, appliances to interfaces and building facades, pragmatic solutions for everyday use to provocative ideas meant to influence our future choices.".…

From the Publisher
"Design and the Elastic Mind," an exhilarating new show at the Museum of Modern Art, makes the case that through the mechanism of design, scientific advances of the last decade have at least opened the way to unexpected visual pleasures... As revolutionary in its own way as MoMA's "Machine Art" exhibition of 1934, which introduced Modern design to a generation of Americans, the exhibition is packed with individual works of sublime beauty. Like that earlier show, it is shaped by an unwavering faith in the transformative powers of technology... "Design and the Elastic mind" is the most uplifting show MoMA's architecture and design department has presented since the museum reopened in 2004. Thanks to its imaginative breadth, we can begin to dream again.
