Love is in the air for our Valentine’s Day edition of “On the Couch with Jonathan Adler.” Join Adler, MAD chief curator Elissa Auther, and award-winning design writer Sarah Archer for an eclectic discussion on the theme of “craft erotics.” The trio will explore the sweet and spicier associations between craft, sex, and romance found in Adler’s designs, feminist art history, and favorite pop culture classics—from the Hollywood blockbuster Ghost to the NBC comedy show Community.
A series of conversations at MAD to accompany The Mad MAD World of Jonathan Adler, “On the Couch with Jonathan Adler” seats the celebrated potter and designer next to leading contemporary design curators and critics. With Adler’s optimistic, irreverent perspective on “the work” sparking against the keen insights of the design world’s liveliest thinkers and writers, the evenings promise to kindle fresh conversations about the important influences on Adler’s craft-based design practice.
