With a background in graphic design, sculpture, and museum studies, Gregory Herringshaw is a connoisseur of the finest that the two-dimensional realm has to offer. As assistant curator of the country's largest wallcoverings collection, at the Smithsonian's Cooper-Hewitt Design Museum, he oversees more than 10,000 pieces dating from the late 17th century to the present. He'll explore the wealth of material in this encyclopedic collection and discuss a variety of resources that showcase it as a practical working laboratory, including the Cooper-Hewitt's new Immersion Room, a high-tech space that allows visitors to digitally view pieces full scale in repeat. Herringshaw is the curator of the exhibitions "Wall Stories: Children's Wallpaper" and "Books and Artist-Designed Wallpapers."
A reception with the speaker follows the lecture.
