In the first part of today’s collaboration between Virtual Design Festival and Vienna’s Forward Festival, MoMA design curator Paola Antonelli talks about the role museums play in documenting the times.
Antonelli, senior curator of architecture and design at New York’s Museum of Modern Art, spoke at Forward Festival in Vienna in 2017.
Since this year’s Forward Festival in the city cannot take place due to coronavirus, it has teamed up with VDF to present five of the best of its past lectures.
In her talk, Antonelli focused on how, as a curator in a big museum, you can move things forward by pushing unorthodox projects.
Virtual Design Festival, the world’s first digital design festival, runs from 15 April to 30 June 2020. It is a platform that will bring the architecture and design world together to celebrate the culture and commerce of our industry, and explore how it can adapt and respond to extraordinary circumstances.
VDF will host a rolling programme of online talks, lectures, movies, product launches and more, complementing and supporting fairs and festivals around the world that have had to be postponed or cancelled and it will provide a platform for design businesses, so they can, in turn, support their supply chains.
