Hella Jongerius
The newly reopened museum hosted the premiere of Hella Jongerius: Contemporary Archetypes, a short-subject documentary exploring the groundbreaking Dutch industrial designer’s processes.
The screening took place on May 16 at 2:00 pm, followed by a Q&A session with Jongerius and director Arnie Knox.
The film explores the designer’s work through interviews with Jongerius and her assistants and design luminaries including Paola Antonelli of MoMA, Interior Design Hallof Famer Murray Moss of Moss, Rolf Fehlbaum of Vitra, and Michael Maharam of Maharam. It is the second documentary produced by Design Onscreen, a Denver-based non-profit foundation dedicated to creating and preserving A&D films.
The film is being presented in conjunction with “Object Factory: The Art of Industrial Ceramics,” the first major U.S. museum exhibition devoted to cutting-edge industrial ceramic production. On view through September 13, the exhibition features more than 200 objects from eighteen countries, including Jongerius’ Nymphenburg Collection.
