Enhanced descriptions from Syndetics:
Beginning with an examination of the complex forces - social, political, economic and cultural - that have helped to shape European design since the Second World War, and drawing on the work of a wide range of designers, this work looks at the most important conceptual and aesthetic movements to have emerged since the mid-1980s.
Published on the occasion of the exhibition at the Indianapolis Museum of Art, March 8-June 21, 2009; High Museum of Art, Atlanta, January 23-April 25, 2010.
