Design professor’s research contributions drive narratives in major exhibition, catalog at LACMA

After six years of work, Associate Professor Monica Penick saw a project come to fruition this fall as the exhibition Home of the Future, 1925–1985: Designing Domestic Utopias opened in September at the Los Angeles County Museum of Art (LACMA).

The show, which runs through March 14, was curated by Wendy Kaplan, department head and curator of Decorative Arts and Design at LACMA. Penick and UT Architecture Professor Christopher Long served as exhibition advisors and contributed original essays to a catalog with the same name.
