IDSA invades MOCA

One of the many hats I wear is a Copenship company baseball cap. Another is serving as Art Center's IDSA Student Chapter Chair. The Industrial Designers Society of America is a national organization and the official voice of the profession. IDSA works to increase connectivity between designers, elevate the influence and perceived value of design, and inspire design quality and responsibility. Toward these ends, one thing I've been working on at the local level is organizing joint events between the CSU Long Beach and Art Center Student Chapters. The two chapters have had the opportunity to get together several times in the past year. This weekend a mixed group from both schools met at the MOCA Los Angeles for a private tour of their current exhibit, a showcase of German artist Martin Kippenberger: The Problem Perspective. It was a fascinating show and a lot of fun getting design students from different programs together. Next time we'll go for drinks too.
