Culture in the City

So how did you spend your summer? You may have noticed that SMMS took a summer break and filled our days with sun, surf, beach and the Brooklyn Flea. We also managed to get in a bit of culture and art. Here are some of our favorite picks of amazing art and design, so go check them out before they're gone.

MoMA: Applied Design till January 20, 2014
"There are still people who think that design is just about making things, people, and places pretty. In truth, design has spread to almost every facet of human activity, from science and education to politics and policymaking, for a simple reason: one of design’s most fundamental tasks is to help people respond to change."
 Guggenheim: James Turrell till Sept 25, 2013
"James Turrell’s first exhibition in a New York museum since 1980 focuses on the artist’s groundbreaking explorations of perception, light, color, and space, with a special focus on the role of site specificity in his practice. At its core is Aten Reign (2013), a major new project that recasts the Guggenheim rotunda as an enormous volume filled with shifting artificial and natural light."
