The Cooper Hewitt Smithsonian Design Museum is located at 2 E 91st St, New York, NY, 10128.
There we checked out a couple of different exhibits that were being shown at the time. “SCRAPS: FASHION, TEXTILES, AND CREATIVE REUSE”. This exhibit focused on fashion based mainly on reused textile materials. They are innovative reuses of textile that practice sustainability and sophistication. One of the more appealing pieces was jewelry made out of wrap up cloth with different patterns on them and a piece of paper with a hindu prayer inside each (taking there word for it).
The second exhibit we visited was called “Fragile Beasts”. Fragile beasts was the artists with the use of ornamental design creating creature representing different images that showed fear, sorrow, peace, anger, etc, depending on which image you were looking at. Some small or detailed enough to need a magnifying glass to see.
We also visited the “Immersion Room” which was very interesting. It was a room where the walls were large screens and there was a desk in the center of the room. On that desk you could draw or write different things that would then we shown on the screens. There was a number of different options and colors to choose from and generally came out pretty trippy because of the number of reflections that popped up.
