Dan Friedman, a notable graphic and furniture designer, lived a dual life in the 1980s. By day, he conformed to corporate demands, while by night, he mingled with artists and created an unconventional home filled with whimsical pieces. This personal space reflected his creativity and humor, juxtaposed against the serious exterior of his professional life. An exhibition titled 'Why Shouldn't I Have Fun All Day?' showcases his playful design philosophy, featuring elements from his Brooklyn apartment, encapsulating his belief in enjoying life despite corporate constraints.
What began as a conventional one-bedroom in a building where his neighbors included Mayor Ed Koch and activist Bella Abzug became his personal fun house.
The show, 'Why Shouldn't I Have Fun All Day?', borrows its name from the question Friedman recalls asking himself while working his corporate day jobs.
