Jennifer Fletcher, assistant curator of architecture and design at SFMOMA, speaks on artist J. B. Blunk’s chair, Invisible Presence (1962). She talks about how the Marin County–based artist, who trained as a ceramicist, respected the inherent qualities of wood in his hand-hewn furniture.
75 Reasons to Live
Series
Organized by Suzanne Stein
Remember the end of Manhattan, when Woody Allen asks himself what makes life worth living? (“Groucho Marx, Willie Mays… Swedish movies…those incredible apples and pears by Cézanne…”) In celebration of SFMOMA’s 75th anniversary in January 2010, Dominic Willsdon & Suzanne Stein invited 75 people from the Bay Area creative community to give extremely short talks—7.5 minutes or less—on a single collection work they cared about. The talks took place during the museum’s three-day celebratory weekend: two at a time, every half hour, 25 a day (a single to close out each day.)
