Shaping the New Century: An International Design Symposium
An international symposium on recent European industrial and decorative design with a special strand for graduate and undergraduate design students, held Friday and Saturday, March 6 and 7, 2009 at the Indianapolis Museum of Art.
Join designers, critics, scholars, manufacturers, dealers and students for a lively examination of the present and future of European decorative and industrial design in a program conceived by R. Craig Miller, the IMA Curator of Design Arts. Explore the aesthetic and conceptual ideas that have transcended national boundaries from 1985 onward, forging the international design scene we experience today. The evolution of contemporary design will be discussed and examined in four sessions focusing on creating, manufacturing, judging, and marketing design.
