In spring 2010, the Goldstein Museum of Design GMD underwent a comprehensive review of five years of activities, staffing, resources, and finances. Under the new College of Design constitution, each research and outreach unit of the College of Design is required to be reviewed every five years. Last academic year saw the first round of these reviews in which four organizations were examined – the Buckman Fellowship, the Center for Sustainable Building Research, the Center for Changing Landscapes, and GMD. Each organization was reviewed by a panel of internal and external reviewers. GMD’s final review report was an affirmation of our accomplishments with recommendations to strengthen selected areas to foster greater success. One of the primary directions was to develop an Advisory Board to assist the museum through advocacy and support. This year, the Friends Board of Directors became the GMD Advisory Board. Our board’s shift will be from a membership focus to a museum-wide vision. The new Advisory Board will advise and support GMD through assistance with donor cultivation, membership planning, conducting major fundraisers, and advising on strategic issues. In preparing for this change, we researched academic museum advisory boards/councils and their role in supporting their museums. In particular, we received significant advice from the director of the University of Wyoming Art Museum whose board underwent a similar transformation – from a Friends Board to a National Advisory Board. The NAB is now a more effective advocate for their museum. The primary change will be an administrative shift from the basis of the board’s relationship in the membership to that of the entire museum. Of the items to be accomplished this year, initial tasks will be rewriting the bylaws, adding additional representatives from the college to the board, and revising the committees. The entire board will meet less often, with most of the work taking place in committees. GMD will be aided in this project by Judy Sharken Simon, a consultant from MAP for Nonprofits, who will meet with the board to facilitate the transition and evaluate the first year’s progress. This is a period of growth for this board and for GMD. The GMD final review report also forms the basis of the new strategic plan. Look for its unveiling later this year. Yours in design, Lin Nelson-Mayson GMD Director

The exhibition Smart House, Livable Community, Your Future addresses how innovative design can help Baby Boomers live independently as they age and still be safe, healthy, and connected to the larger community. The exhibition is forward-thinking and will bring research findings, design, and technology to bear on a desire expressed by the majority of older members of this generation: to “age in place” in their own home. The exhibition will be designed to resemble an attractive home. Visitors will enter the “home” through a no-threshold door that allows safe entry for people using mobility aids. Encouraged to try out what they see, visitors will handle easy-to-use kitchen utensils, sit in a power-lifted chair, operate an easy-open window, and sit in a fully-adjustable desk chair at an ergonomically-designed desk. Special structural designs for the bathroom and kitchen will be explained in terms of their safety and utility. Visitors also will learn about the Fall Guard alert system, auto-dispensers for medication, virtual doctors, and community resources available to help support independent living. Three specialized workshops will provide community outreach and elaborate on concepts introduced in the exhibition. A major grant from the Institute of Museum and Library Services will fund an exciting partnership with Twin Cities Public Television (tpt). tpt will produce several short videos to be shown in the exhibition that illustrate exhibition ideas. The videos will also be featured in a 30 minute broadcast that focuses on the exhibition. The tpt broadcast will be available to public television stations nationwide, extending the exhibition’s reach, as will a Smart House website being planned under the guidance of Dr. Sauman Chu, Associate Professor of Graphic Design.

FROM THE PRESIDENT DEAR FRIENDS— Fall is my favorite time of year: crisp air, falling leaves, cool breezes, and the hustle and bustle of life on campus. This definitely sets the pace for the Advisory Board of GMD to engage in numerous activities for GMD membership. And, I assure you, you won’t be disappointed. We begin our fall season with the Annual Membership Reception at Eastcliff. This is a wonderful opportunity to introduce your friends to the Goldstein Museum of Design while enjoying refreshments in the beautiful home and gardens of the president of the University. This ever-popular event was held Thursday evening, September 16 beginning at 6:00 PM. By the way, do you know how Eastcliff got its name? I read that, in 1922, the original owners, the Brooks family, named it Eastcliff because of it is perched atop the eastern cliffs of the Mississippi. When you visit the estate, you’ll see why. Linda Hersom
October 3 we’ll be putting on the Ritz with GMD’s Fall Fundraiser, “From Mao to Now, Chinese Fashion from 1949 to the Present.” This spectacular evening at the Ritz Theatre will honor designers and designs of China featuring imaginative streetwear and sophisticated fashion in a unique Ballet of the Dolls production created by nationally renowned choreographer Myron Johnson and Grant Whittaker. The evening will begin with cocktails and an hors d’oeuvre buffet Backstage Studio followed by an energetic Chinese Lion Dance, which will lead guests into the theatre for the production. During intermission, a live auction will be held to benefit the Goldstein. As President, I’m asking you for your support
NEW ACQUISITIONS in attending this event as well as your sponsorship of it. As a sponsor, you will receive one to six tickets to the show, depending on your level of giving. The sponsorship dollars are essential to continuing the important work at the Goldstein Museum of Design such as its mission of advancing the understanding and appreciation of design. More information on sponsorships and the event can be found on the GMD website, at http://goldstein. design.umn.edu. Tickets can be purchased through the Northrop Ticket Office, 612-624-2345; 84 Church Street, SE Minneapolis, MN 55455 or online at http://northrop.umn.edu/tickets. Looking to later in October, we are excited to welcome Doty Horn, Director of Color and Design for Benjamin Moore, back by popular demand. Doty will present a panoramic view of color direction— Color Pulse 2012. Save the date, Wednesday, October 27, McNeal Auditorium, St. Paul Campus. Invitation to follow. On November 11, the Guild in St. Louis Park will host a Holiday Open House for GMD. More on this to come, but from what I’m hearing this will be another great event. Have a fabulous fall, and we’ll see you at the Ritz. Linda Hersom President, GMD Advisory Board
RUDI GERNREICH Spots, dots, stripes, and plumes! The distinctive hides of mammals and unique feathers of birds have inspired textile designers for some time. However, an entire ensemble fashioned out of animal print fabric would have been an aberration prior to the mid 1960s. Rudi Gernreich’s 1966 mini dresses, made from a synthetic knit called BanLon™, brought the call of the wild to everyday dress. The two dresses featured here were added to GMD’s collection in May, 2010 and illustrate Gernreich’s bold interpretation of tiger stripes and peacock feathers. Gernreich, born in Austria, moved to Los Angeles with his mother when he was 16 years old. As a young man, he studied art and dance, but by the 1950s he began experimenting with fashion design. He developed a chic style that drew from mod aesthetics and futurism.
of the main dress. Both dresses originally had matching tights for a complete head-to-toe aesthetic. The 1966 seven-minute fashion movie titled Gernreich Fashions in Basic Black features Peggy Moffitt, Gernreich’s iconic model, wearing the peacock feather printed dress with matching tights and a headdress constructed from peacock feathers.

Ensembles of the 1960s were typically lined, interfaced, and tailored, so the minimalism of Gernreich’s jersey shift dresses were notable for their lack of construction. The funnel neckline is not set in, but rather rises up from the same single-ply piece of fabric

Last spring’s garden party benefit was held at Rapson Hall. This successful event raised over $5,000 to support GMD’s mission.
Over 3,865 GMD collection images are now available to view on the the Digital Content Library (DCL) site dcl.umn.edu. These images represent about 1200 objects from the permanent collection, and are a preview of many more to come. The DCL is a combined resource of the College of Liberal Arts and the College of Design. Together, there are almost 200,000 learning objects from many different disciplines in image, video, and audio formats. These objects come from a variety of sources including purchased and licensed, donations, and copystand photography.

In conjunction with Spring 2010’s exhibition How Secretaries Changed the 20th-Century Office: Design, Image, and Culture, GMD requested donations of women’s clothing and accessories to benefit Women Achieving New Directions (WAND), which provides career exploration and services to low-income, employed single mothers. Thanks to your generosity, GMD was able to donate an impressive amount of women’s clothing to WAND. With these donations, WAND will be able to provide working mothers with work-appropriate clothing to wear to interviews and to their new positions. HOURS
