Mediating Design: a case study in diversity at London\u2019s Design Museum<\/span><\/h2><\/div><\/header>
<\/div>

During a career that began as desk-top-publishing reinvented print (it never died), London\u2019s Design Museum has been a constant presence for me. As a design journalist and editor, lecturer to design students and (occasional) curator, the Museum has been subject, collaborator and educator, and most recently also partner institution and case study for my doctoral research (Collaborative Doctoral Award, Arts and Humanities Research Council).<\/p>\n

Having a \u2018history\u2019 with the Museum motivated me to consider the institution\u2019s own history of change, especially in light of its recent reinvention. Taking the long view revealed moments of friction and innovation that pushed on the definition of design, the interpretation of objects and the extended role of gallery education.<\/p>\n

Series of exhibitions, such as Designs of the Year (DOTY), have proven particularly effective in attracting diverse audiences for design. Curated with a panel, selecting nominations from a worldwide network of experts, this annual showcase rounds up exemplary projects across disciplines and media. As one of two exhibitions launched at the newly opened Museum it represents a continuation of the curatorial approach, a legacy of the Shad Thames version of the institution. Considered in relation to the other opening show, Fear and Love: Reactions to a Complex World, which comprises a series of immersive, conceptual installations commissioned from celebrated practitioners, DOTY is more like \u2018three-dimensional journalism\u2019, a term coined by the Design Museum\u2019s \u00a0first director, Stephen Bayley, when tasked with building an audience for design exhibitions in the 1980s (the so-called \u2018Designer Decade\u2019).<\/p>\n

Catering to audiences both public and professional means that a one-size-fits-all solution is never sufficient. These two exhibitions present contrasting approaches to the mediation of design in the context of a design museum, and suggest that an expanded museum must opt for greater diversity, beginning with its own museology.<\/p>\n<\/div><\/div><\/div>
