Ron Arad: No Discipline
Opening at MoMA

Ambiance.

Ron Arad and MoMA director Glenn Lowry.

On Tuesday, July 28, 2009, MoMA hosted a reception to celebrate the opening of Ron Arad: No Discipline, the first major U.S. retrospective of Arad's work.

Among the most influential designers of our time, Arad (British, b. Israel 1951) stands out for his adventurous approach to form, structure, technology, and materials in work that spans the disciplines of industrial design, sculpture, architecture, and mixed-medium installation.

The exhibition features approximately 140 works, including design objects, architectural models, and videos. Most of the objects featured in the exhibition are displayed in a monumental Corten and stainless steel structure specially designed by the artist called Cage sans Frontières (Cage without Borders). The structure measures 126.5 feet (38.5 meters) long, spanning the whole length of the Museum's gallery, and over 16 feet (5 meters) tall.

The exhibition is organized by Paola Antonelli, senior curator, and Patricia Juncosa Vecchierini, curatorial assistant, Department of Architecture and Design, The Museum of Modern Art, and will be on view from August 2 to October 19, 2009.
