Gaetano Pesce Pushes the Limits in Philadelphia

Gaetano Pesce, the radical Italian-born architect/product designer/artist, will be in Philadelphia Friday, Nov. 18, to accept this year's award from Collab and inaugurate an exhibit of his work at the Philadelphia Museum of Art. Pesce is scheduled to talk about his work at 8 p.m. in the museum's Van Pelt Auditorium. Pesce (b. 1939) is one of those renaissance men who has worked in architecture, theater, film, and design, turning out functional housewares and mind-blowing art.
