Love a visit to art storage! 🤸‍♀️ For many reasons, but also as an important reminder of the attention, intelligence, creativity, and energy of so many people that goes into caring for a collection.

Miami postscript by @t.lambert

In 1981 Sol LeWitt proposed an installation of flowers of “four different colors (white, yellow, red & blue) in four equal rectangular areas, in rows of four directions (vertical, horizontal, diagonal right & left) framed by evergreen hedges of about 2’ height. In the winter the rows of plants would retain their linear direction, in the summer the flowers would bloom and provide the color.”

Roaming the lovely Cranbrook campus. Also happy to have caught the current exhibition at @cranbrookartmuseum “Eventually Everything Connects: Mid-Century Modern Design in the US,” thoughtfully curated by @andrewblauvelt and @bridget.bartal with the assistance of @katherine.white at @thehenryford by @t.lambert

Collab is proud to welcome Tiffany Lambert to the PMA!

As the inaugural Lisa Roberts and David Seltzer Curator of Modern and Contemporary Design, Tiffany steps into a newly endowed role that marks a powerful next chapter in the museum’s evolving commitment to design.

Endowed by longtime PMA Trustees and Collab champions Lisa S. Roberts and David W. Seltzer, this curatorship strengthens the partnership between the museum and Collab, ensuring design continues to thrive as a core part of the @philamuseum’s mission.

A curator, writer, and educator, Tiffany brings a passion for underrepresented voices and experimental exhibition design. We’re thrilled to support her vision as she joins the Department of Modern and Contemporary Art.

Welcome to Philadelphia, @t.lambert!

TRUST ARTISTS

Refashioning is a project that I’m incredibly proud of. To be able to use my position as a resource and platform to let exceptional artists and designers do their thing, make and develop their work, is an honor.

I couldn’t think of a more fitting end to my tenure as Curator and Interim Director of Japan Society Gallery, where I worked to challenge stereotypes about Asian and Japanese art. Asking what voices get the opportunity to be heard and whose work gets to be shown within institutional walls. CFGNY and Wataru Tominaga — transdisciplinary artists and fashion designers — brought new meaning to this work through their interrogation of the gendered body, identity and racial formation, and questioning of “vaguely Asian” aesthetics.

Thank you Tin, Daniel, Ten, Kirsten, and Wataru for your powerful and important work. And for being game for this collaboration right from the jump. @cfgny2 @wataru_tominaga

Much appreciation to everyone at the Hammer who all played an essential role in evolving the original exhibition and expanding its West Coast debut with many new projects. Especially to the curatorial team: Erin Christovale, Nika Chilewich, Ikechúkwú Onyewuenyi. @erinzulie @nikaschil @ike_chuks @hammer_museum
