Soft Matter includes artworks by Archizoom Associati, Becky Beasley, Hans Breder, Tom Burr, Talia Chetrit, Gaylen Gerber, Luisa Lambri, Enzo Mari, Carlo Mollino and Michael E. Smith. Text by Justin Beal, as well as the first English translation of Enzo Mari's Progetto e passione (Design and Passion) which outlines Mari's personal framework for understanding the duties and obligations of professional designers. The show borrowed its title from a classification of material including organic matter, plastics, and foams used as a curatorial subcategory in Ezio Manzini’s 1989 survey of postmodern design, The Material of Invention. Manzini took the term from French physicist Pierre-Gilles de Gelles, who used it to describe matter, both biological and synthetic, which self-organizes into physical structures whose behavior cannot be predicted by their microscopic constituents or their macroscopic whole. #graphicdesign #typography #SoftMatter #JustinBeal #EnzoMari #DesignandPassion #design #postmodern #matter #art #catalog #exhibition #Wallspace
