In addition to the excellent virtual motorcycle exhibition currently on view, MOTO MMXX (link below), the Museum of Craft and Design is featuring objects, garments, accessories, and space planning by designers from around the world who are responding to the COVID-19 pandemic.

Entitled, Design by Distance (link below), the exhibition, also virtual, proposes new forms, some meant for production, others speculative, and offer commentary on the range of needs and emotions elicited by facing a pandemic. Humor and satire, albeit of a gallows sort, results in masks, emoji sets, and mechanisms for maintaining social distance, a term that has become part of a collective cultural zeitgeist nearly overnight.     

The Museum of Craft and Design is the only museum in San Francisco devoted to craft and design. Founded in 2004, MCD showcases designers, makers and artists through an exciting and distinctive series of craft and design-focused exhibitions and public programs. As a non-collecting institution, the museum actively collaborates with artists, designers, museums and universities, as well as design venues and practitioners to create inspirational experiences in the world of craft and design for visitors of all ages.    

The exhibition, Design by Distance, will be on view until December 31, 2020.
