On the occasion of the immersive exhibition “Blow Up,” which offers a dialogue between significant design from the 1970s and ’80s (by Gaetano Pesce and Shiro Kuramata, among others) and contemporary design and brings the domestic ideal of the dollhouse up to scale, show curator Felix Burrichter, the editor in chief and founder of PIN-UP magazine, will moderate a discussion. Panelists include Burrichter’s exhibition design collaborator Adam Charlap Hyman of Charlap Hyman & Herrero, industrial designer Leon Ransmeier, painter Oona Brangam-Snell, and Leila Arruda.
