It has been slow going in the inspiration business recently, so I thought I would talk about something that I THINK it will be inspiring. I am very excited about an upcoming exhibiton at the Museum of Contemporary Art in Chicago called Massive Change. From the MCA web site, it says:
Massive Change: The Future of Global Design is an exhibition that changes the way you think about design just as contemporary design is changing the way we live in the world. Design effects all aspects of our lives and holds the possibility of changing the very nature of human life itself. Massive Change is an exhibition grounded in a provocative proposition.

Engineered as an international discursive project, Massive Change: The Future of Global Design, will map the new capacity, power and promise of design. [...]
