M+ Upcoming Exhibition：Making It Matters

Description

Making It Matters is an exhibition exploring different approaches to the topic of making as a process of creative expression and the long-lasting impact this process has on our individual lives, global communities, and ecosystem. The experimental display will feature ideas that innovative makers have adopted to incorporate responsible design, material innovation, and creative reuse strategies into alternative modes of thinking and how these ideas are situated within wider historical, pragmatic, or sociopolitical contexts. The exhibition draws upon the diverse work of artists, designers, and architects currently in the M+ Collections—including John Cage, Raffaella della Olga, Simon Liu, Anna Ridler, Julie & Jesse, Fujimori Terunobu, and Vo Trong Nghia Architects—to highlight the diverse stories that show us why the act of making continues to matter in society, now more than ever.
