Cooper Hewitt's Triennial Critiques American Power but Is Shy on Solutions
Briefly

The Smithsonian Design Triennial, Making Home, commissioned 25 artists to explore how design intertwines with contemporary life, creating immersive, site-specific works that reflect domesticity.
Curators face a challenge: to depict objects in context, requiring them to include broader aspects of contemporary life within the museum's walls.
The exhibition features a range of installations, from poignant to mundane, illustrating the diversity in American domestic life and the variations in design sensibility.
With Living Room: Orlean, Virginia, the triennial brings a family narrative to life, demonstrating how personal history merges with broader themes of home and community.
