Can cow manure be turned into casings for loudspeakers and lamps? MoMA’s latest exhibition says “yes.”
“Life Cycles: The Materials of Contemporary Design” is now open on the museum’s street-level gallery. The exhibit explores the ways designers can repurpose the materials around us to extend their life cycle and promote environmental preservation. Approximately 80 pieces will be on display, including bricks made from crop waste and fungi mycelium and panels made from corn husks.
The exhibition, curated by Paola Antonelli, will be on display until July 7, 2024.
