Diaspora: A Collaboration between Michael Cunningham and Martin Venezky
Michael Cunningham, author
Henry Urbach, Helen Hilton Raiser Curator of Architecture and Design, SFMOMA
Martin Venezky, designerPhyllis Wattis Theater
6:30 p.m.
In conjunction with Double Down: Two Visions of Vegas, SFMOMA has commissioned a limited-edition double deck of cards. Designed by Venezky with text by Cunningham, a "day" deck tracks the arrival of animals from the desert, while a companion "night" deck finds people on the reverse journey. The deck is designed so that each hand dealt tells a different story. In this program, the designer and the novelist talk about their collaboration and explore the way the cards relate to their solo work.
Free with museum admission; space is limited and seats are available on a first-come, first-served basis. RSVP to publicprograms@sfmoma.org.
Thursday Nights at SFMOMA are sponsored by Banana Republic. Virgin America is the official airline of Thursday Nights at SFMOMA.
