Into the Stacks
Date: Friday, July 20, 2018
Time: 7–8:30pm
Location: The Wolfsonian–FIU @ 1001 Washington Avenue
A cigarette lighter shaped like a rocket. A cocktail shaker imitating a rooster. A coin bank that looks like a mailbox. Why do designers make things that mimic other things? Join Bookleggers Library founding director Nathaniel Sandler over drinks to discover some rarely sighted Wolfsonian treasures that give surprising clues about their creators through form. This program is presented in conjunction with Sandler’s Knight Foundation-funded project, Crypt Cracking.
