MoMA Design Store presents Sara Cwynar, Stephen Shore and Sarah Meister on Luigi Ghirri’s 'Cardboard Landscapes'

Tuesday, November 17 at 8PM EST, the MoMA Design Store presents artist Sara Cwynar and photographer and Director of the Bard College Photography Program Stephen Shore in conversation with MoMA curator Sarah Meister, for the online launch of Cardboard Landscapes, MoMA's new facsimile of Ghirri’s poetic narrative of 1970s pop culture. Tune in here!

Around 1974, Luigi Ghirri lovingly assembled an album of his photographs and titled it Paesaggi di cartone, or Cardboard Landscapes. Within a year this unique treasure was at MoMA in New York, although only now with this new facsimile edition can broad audiences appreciate the way it teaches us, as Ghirri said, como pensare per immagini (“how to think through images”).

Tune into MoMA's Youtube channel to hear the fascinating story of this album’s history, and two leading contemporary artists share their individual reactions to this body of work with MoMA curator Sarah Meister.
