New York’s Museum of Arts and Design (MAD) has launched a three-part film series on the greats of post-war design and architecture. The programme kicked off on 16 June with the short digital projection Harry Bertoia’s Sculpture by Clifford West (1965), and a longer look at midcentury design’s most dynamic duo, husband-and-wife team Charles and Ray Eames in a 2011 documentary by Jason Cohn and Bill Jersey. The two other treats in store are The World of Buckminster Fuller (23 June) and The New World of Lina Bo Bardi (30 June). The latter may only be four minutes long but it is "set to an original soundtrack arranged by DJ Total Freedom that repurposes parts of the architect’s 1951 essay on Bela Criança", says a press statement.
