This panel focuses on surfacing the array of questions embedded in curating contemporary design—from topics to objects, from sponsors to venue—that relate to social, political, and economic issues. What values are implied by curatorial choices? What due diligence is required? What value is assigned through selection, display, and promotion of objects? In the age of crowd-funding and self-publishing, what compromises, if any, are acceptable? This panel addresses how the act of curating design today creates ripple effects that extend far beyond any one exhibition or collection. Additionally, it will address the ethical responsibility and political performance of design as a mass phenomenon in relation to the issues of display.
