Friday, November 6 at 1:30pm - GLIMMER: Design Will Transform...
Corcoran Gallery of Art
Tuesday, November 17 at 7:00pm
Corcoran Gallery of Art and College of Art + Design
Design has moved far beyond million-dollar interiors and cool new typefaces; today design is about optimism, action, and global problem-solving. According to award-winning journalist and author Warren Berger, “glimmer” is the moment when a new solution to an old problem pops into view. By interviewing dozens of the wo...rld’s “Glimeratti,” from Paula Scher to Stefan Sagmeister and Milton Glaser to Michael Graves, Berger has uncovered the history and future of proactive design. Join Berger on a journey through today’s fascinating world of design as he explains how the formerly distinct disciplines of graphic, product, and social design are undergoing “smart recombinations.” Following the talk, Berger signs copies of his newest book, Glimmer (The Penguin Press, 10/09).
