Ron Arad No Discipline at MOMA

MoMA PRESENTS THE FIRST MAJOR U.S. RETROSPECTIVE OF RON ARAD’S WORK

The Museum of Modern Art presents 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 daredevil curiosity about form, structure, technology, and materials and for the versatile nature of his work, which spans industrial design, hand-crafted studio pieces, sculpture, architecture, and mixed media installations.

The chandelier is one of my favorites. Nice.

Cage sans Frontières (Cage without Borders) is a Corten steel structure—126.5 feet (38.5 meters) long, spanning the whole length of the Museum’s International Council gallery, and over 16 feet (5 meters) tall—in the shape of a figure eight. The structure consists of 240 cells that are each lined with stainless steel.
