Florencia Pita/FP mod
 
January 19–June 16, 2013
 
Organized by the University of Michigan Museum of Art, FlorenciaPita/FP mod explores the provocations and intersections of digital technology, material experimentation, femininity, and ornament in the work of Argentina-born, Los Angeles-based architect and designer Florencia Pita. The exhibition and its related publication, part of the UMMA Books series, trace the evolution of Pita‘s design ideology through installation pieces, urban design, tableware, furniture, and architecture, as well as small adornments. Pita’s boldly colored works draw from literary, art, and biological sources; employ cutting-edge architectural fabrication techniques; and cross borders of visual art, architecture, and design.
 
Lead support for this exhibition is provided by the Herbert W. and Susan L. Johe Endowment and the Graham Foundation for Advanced Studies in the Fine Arts. Additional generous support is provided by Laura Lynch and Hugh McPherson.
