SAFE:
Design Takes On Risk features a carefully selected array of more than 300 contemporary
design objects and prototypes from all over the world designed for a variety
of reasons: to protect body and mind from dangerous or stressful circumstances;
respond to emergency situations; ensure clarity of information; and provide
a sense of comfort and security. The objects displayed in the exhibition address
the spectrum of human fears and worries, from the most exceptional to the most
mundane, from the dread of earthquakes and terrorist attacks to fear of darkness
and loneliness. The exhibition is organized by Paola Antonelli, Curator, and
Patricia Juncosa Vecchierini, Curatorial Assistant, Department of Architecture
and Design, The Museum of Modern Art. The dates for the exhibition are October
16, 2005-January 2, 2006
