New York School of Interior Design presents Exhibition of Alumni Work
The Gallery of the New York School of Interior Design is pleased to present A View from the Inside: NYSID Alumni Exhibition, on view from March 5 through April 25, 2009.
This exhibition brings together the designs of twenty alumni of the college, hailing from China, Israel, Peru, South Africa, and the United States and represents longtime graduates who are well established in their field as well as recent graduates who are up-and-coming talents. Their designs—represented by photographs, renderings, digital displays, and free-standing prototypes—are for a range of residential and commercial projects, including private residences, offices, hotels, restaurants, and retail centers.
Select projects include designs for the new headquarters of Moody’s Corporation by Becky Button (BFA 2001) of Swanke Hayden Connell Architects; Robert Kaner’s (AAS, 2002) designs for a 1930s art deco weekend and vacation home located just outside of South Beach, Miami; a six-level retail center in Shanghai, China, designed by Xi Ren (MFA 2006); and a sneaker boutique designed as a gallery space for R.sole in St. Louis, Missouri by Carol Tobin (BFA 1979) of Tobin + Parnes.
Other participants include Marie Aiello, Patricia Barbis, Anthea Bosch-Moschini, Frank DelleDonne, Kristi Dinner, Mara Rose Egan, René B. Estacio, Kate Kalley, Maisie Lee, Dana Levy Michonik, Susan Marinello, Susan B. Nagle, Megan Pearson, David Scott, Sue Ventura, and Erin Wells.
“We are excited to have the opportunity to showcase the work our alumni have done since leaving NYSID,” said Scott Ageloff, Vice President for Academic Affairs and Dean and curator of the exhibition. “The measure of any institution’s success is its alumni, and the accomplishments of NYSID’s alumni demonstrate their talent and ambition and the quality of the education they received.”
Founded in 1916, the New York School of Interior Design (NYSID) is New York’s only private, not-for-profit college devoted exclusively to interior design education and related disciplines. NYSID’s guiding principle is that the interior environment is a fundamental element of human welfare and the college is committed to actively improving the quality of life for all segments of humanity. This ideal is put into practice by a dedicated faculty of well-known designers, architects, art historians, and authorities in the field who guide a diverse student body of over 700 full-and part-time students.
NYSID offers certificate, undergraduate, and graduate programs in the field of interior design. The college is an accredited institutional member of the National Association of Schools of Art and Design (NASAD) and NYSID’s BFA is accredited by the Council for Interior Design Accreditation (CIDA).
