The New Yorker: Summer Art Preview
As the war in Ukraine rages on, it’s hard to imagine a more timely summer show than “Designing Peace,” at the Cooper Hewitt. Twenty-five countries are represented by forty pacifist propositions—models, maps, objects, mobile-phone apps, videos, full-scale installations—including rugs woven from discarded bullet casings and plans for a memorial garden at the forthcoming International African American Museum, in Charleston, S.C. (Opens June 10.)
