The Design Museum is pleased to announce that David Adjaye: Making Memory is to be extended until 4 August 2019
The exhibition explores the role of monuments and memorials in the 21st century, through seven projects by celebrated British-Ghanaian architect, Sir David Adjaye OBE
From 1 - 25 April 2019, up to three children aged 15 and below go free with the purchase of each adult ticket to the exhibition
Celebrated architect Sir David Adjaye OBE examines the idea of the monument and presents his thinking on how architecture and form are used as storytelling devices in David Adjaye: Making Memory.
The exhibition features seven projects including the Smithsonian National Museum of African American History and Culture in Washington D.C, the new National Cathedral of Ghana in Accra and the UK Holocaust Memorial and Learning Centre* in London. Each of the projects, selected by Sir David Adjaye, is presented in a dedicated room alongside specially commissioned video interviews and immersive site-specific displays.
Highlights include a full-scale section of the Sclera Pavilion for London Design Festival 2008, a replica library area from the Gwangju River Reading Room in South Korea, as well as inspiration materials including a sculpture by the early 20th-century Yoruba artist Olowe of Ise. Visitors will also be offered a first look at an in-depth display of the proposed Coretta Scott King and Martin Luther King Jr. Memorial in Boston, designed to be a place for discursive action and assembly.
Justin McGuirk, Chief Curator, the Design Museum said:
“It is with great pleasure that we have decided to extend David Adjaye: Making Memory until 4 August 2019. The exhibition has been attracting a diverse audience and visitors’ feedback has been outstanding. The Design Museum’s purpose is to make the impact of design visible to everyone and this exhibition’s messages are clearly reaching well beyond the world of design and architecture.”
