Third Thursday: Everyday Genius

San Jose Museum of Art / October 17, 2013

Come celebrate the new exhibition "Hidden Heroes: The Genius of Everyday Things". The evening's theme will be design and innovation. Also on view is the pop-up installation that celebrates the iconic, gem-style paperclip, designed by the winners of SJMA’s Café Design Challenge. The DIY art activity for the evening will utilize “hidden heroes” such as paperclips and Post-It Notes. All galleries will be open. Hidden Heroes is SJMA’s first exhibition devoted to industrial design and tells the story of how 36 common objects were invented and became ubiquitous tools of modern life. From the paperclip to the Post-It Note, from the corkscrew to the coat hanger, these objects were created from an idea that was both simple and ingenious and have remained essentially unaltered for decades. This award-winning exhibition was organized by the renowned Vitra Design Museum in Weil en Rheim, Germany.
