We are delighted to invite you to the Marjan Unger lecture on Friday 3 November 2023.
Design Matters: Collecting for the Real World by Corinna Gardner.
Recent acquisitions at the Victoria and Albert Museum in London include a pair of camera-enabled sunglasses that mark a step toward ubiquitous computing, a set of posters calling for solidarity with the women’s rights movement in Iran, and a pulse oximeter used to test blood oxygen levels at home. All have been acquired as part of the V&A’s Rapid Response Collecting programme – a model of collecting that through objects seeks to raise questions of globalisation, mass manufacture, demography and the law. Taking Rapid Response Collecting as a starting point, this talk will make a case for designed things and their ability to tell social and political stories and consider what role museums can play in helping navigate the realities of today's digital age.
Price: €17,50
Location: Auditorium Rijksmuseum
The lecture will be held in English
Ticket sale will start on 4 September
Programme:
19:00-19:30 Registration
19:30-20:30 Lecture
20:30-22:00 Drinks in the Foyer
