Manufacturing Emotions Cooper-Hewitt, New York, NY - February 15–September 28, 2008 Campana Brothers
What: In this exhibit the designers played the role of curators for the Nancy and Edwin Marks Gallery exhibition series; their selection criteria: “I like that” The exhibition was composed by two- and threedimensional works conceived and executed using an impressive impressive array of scales, materials, materials, textures, and structures The pieces had no obvious relation among them, but they detected functions and processes in them that established a connection with their own creations •
•
•
So What: For this exhibit, the process used by the designers to select the pieces reflected their own creative process The pieces by themselves didn’t have a strong relationship among them but when combined it reflected the notion of interweaving: interweaving: not only interlacing threads, but also when colors, forms, and textures combine to create a new composition that stimulated emotions •

•
So What: In order to communicate the process in which each designer “found” their product, they made a video telling the whole story: since they travel to the specific site, how they found and experiment with the material, and how they got to the final product At the exhibition were the final products, supported by information about the location, photos of the material (or (or something that represented the process) and the video. •
