“When I visit the Met, I dress up! It’s out of respect for the work. All of these eyes may be looking right back at us. And I don’t want these eyes to ask, ‘What was he thinking?!’” — Tim Gunn
And we’re back – Happy New Year, everyone! Here’s to 2020 being better than 2019. Low bar, we know, but here we are. For Daily Plinth, at least, we’ve got some changes both big and small we will be rolling out in the coming months that we are very excited about. Watch this space. And now back to our regularly scheduled programming…
This year, the Metropolitan Museum of Art is rolling out a year-long celebration for its 150th anniversary. As part of the activities marking the occasion, they’ve started a new series, Met Stories.
“Met Stories is a new video series and year-long social media initiative that shares unexpected and compelling stories gathered from the many people who visit The Met, whether artists, teachers, curators, actors, museum staff, designers, thought-leaders, or public figures.”
Here we have the first episode, Looking Back to Look Forward, “in which Met image archivist Stephanie Post, with educator and former-Project Runway host Tim Gunn, and New York City Ballet dancer Silas Farley share how their encounters with history and the Museum inform their sense of self and their creative practices.”
