Art Center College of
Design’s Alyce de Roulet Williamson Gallery Explores The Past and Future of
Object-Making
The Curious
World of Patent Models and The Future of Objects On
Exhibit
June 4 to
August 15, 2010
Opening
Reception June 3, 7:00 to 9:00 p.m.
WHAT:
The Alyce de Roulet
Williamson Gallery at Art Center College of Design is continuing its series of
explorations into the intersecting domains of art, science, technology, and
design with side-by-side exhibitions that look at the interplay between the
technologies used to fabricate objects and the thought-processes used to
conceive them.
The
relationship between technology and its influence over the process of
conceptualizing objects, inventions, and innovations is referenced overtly in
“The Curious World of Patent Models,” an exhibit of more than fifty scale
models representing ideas submitted for United States Patent protection circa
1800-1880. A separate but related exhibit, “The
Future of Objects,” displays new digital-age fabrication and prototyping
techniques in which startlingly complex forms are conceived and “grown” by
machines known as 3D printers. As
the exhibit reveals, technologies related to those used every day in households
and offices to print 2D information on flat pieces of paper are now being used
to “grow” freestanding 3D objects in physical space, using a variety of
solid materials.
The complementary exhibits will be on display June 4
to August 15. An opening reception
will take place on June 3.
