Namedropping

Might we somehow touch the genius of Picasso by holding a ceramic plate created by his studio but not potted and painted by the master himself? And would you eat your tea from such a dish?

Namedropping is an exhibit that explores questions such as why are we drawn to certain objects and people, what makes the big names big: Porsche, Picasso or Pompidou, what is the nature of status and why is it useful, is it just culture, or is there something deeper, do we have certain ways of caring that our distant ancestors shared, and maybe even benefitted from, are our choices shaped by culture, or is our culture shaped by nature’s choices?
