PurchaseM/M (Paris): Just Like an Ant Walking on the Edge of the Visible
November 21, 2008 – February 6, 2009
The design work of M/M (Paris) is the product of an influential and creative partnership founded in 1992 by Mathias Augustyniak and Michaël Amzalag. Rooted in an expanded conception of graphic design, M/M’s multi-disciplinary approach extends to artistic collaborations, product design, and commercial projects. M/M (Paris): Just Like an Ant Walking On the Edge of the Visible features a newly commissioned project consisting of 41 wood-and-metal stools painted with silk-screened graphics. Designed specifically for the Drawing Room, the installation uses one of M/M (Paris)'s signature letterform alphabets to compose the exhibition’s titular phrase. As part of the exhibition, invited artists utilize the installation to host a series of drawing courses.
