What happens when curators impose ideas of aesthetics, identity, and expression on objects and spaces intended to be practical, pedestrian, or populist? Keffer looks at SFMOMA's architecture and design collection — with its emphasis on experimental work — and discusses the Museum's very deliberate agenda to see design as art. Participants Ruth Keffer, curatorial associate, architecture and design, SFMOMA Admission + Ticketing Free with Museum admission.
