today in the exhibit

i went to the MCA with my art of the 60's class this week. for those of you who have seen Objectified you will know
who i'm talking about, if you haven't seen this movie, you should --- it made me study product design ---
the Museum of Contemporary Art of Chicago is exhibiting the work of French brothers, Ronan and Erwan Bouroullec.
They are a remarkable industrial design dou.

there are parts of the exhibit you are allowed to interact with, other parts not so much.

As i was walking through the rooms of the MCA i heard a security guard pipe up,

"please don't touch the art" i couldn't help but chuckle a bit,

yes the pieces are on display in an art museum, but i just couldn't hold back my emotion towards the irony.

these objects were designed to be used, interacted with,  they are utilitarian! attractive pieces, inspiring works.

Tuesdays are free at the MCA, so i encourage you all to check out the show, it will be there until Jan 20, 2013 so you have some time.
