Erie St. The Milwaukee Institute of Art and Design exhibit examines objects and their functions through a journey of observation, experimentation and speculation. Married British duo Tim Parsons and Jessica Charlesworth of Parsons & Charlesworth Design Studio explore both the rhetorical and practical opportunities of designed objects. “We want to start conversations about design,” said Parsons, “about how we can imagine objects to be different. Beyond need, how can we design them to address our hopes and fears?” for more information, visit miad.edu.
