“Commercialism is not the antithesis of culture; it can be part of it, but a well-rounded culture does not keep culture and commerce in antithesis”
In this episode of Endless Vital Activity, David Johnston speaks with Paola Antonelli, senior curator of the Department of Architecture & Design and Director of R&D at New York’s Museum of Modern Art.
David and Paola explore her philosophy of design for the people, why she compares her role as a curator to that of a movie director as oppose to a storyteller, plus Paola lifts the lid on the production of her speaker series, Salon, uncovering the work that goes into setting the theme of each event.
