Oxman's work is groundbreaking for its solid technical and scientific basis, its rigorous and yet daring experimentation, its visionary philosophy, and its unquestionable attention to formal elegance. This book?which will accompany a monographic exhibition of her work set to open in February 2020 at the Museum of Modern Art?will highlight the interdisciplinary nature of the designer's practice by including essays from experts in those fields. It will also place her work within the historical context of the museum, from the 1934 exhibition Machine Art to 2008's Design and the Elastic Mind-in order to demonstrate that Oxman's contributions are not only faithful to MoMA's commitment to organic design, but it also allows us to question and redefine established ideas of modernism that have been held as true and unchanging since the founding of the institution. The work that Oxman has developed to date warrants a large-scale public exhibition and a full publication at this early stage in her career because her radically new discoveries have and will continue to transform contemporary design.
