Just opened at MAD: John Procario: Freeforms.
Procario bends and twists slender strips of ash wood by hand into continuous, looping ribbons. Discreetly embedded LEDs trace each curve, giving his light sculptures the illusion of endless movement. The same instinct shapes his Sculpted Sofas, where every form follows the line and direction of its freeform wood base.
Slow, intuitive, and guided by the material’s natural curve, Procario’s process is best experienced up close. Be among the first to see it this weekend. Plan your visit at the link in bio.
On view through April 4, 2027.

Helen Drutt, one of the most influential voices in contemporary jewelry, joins us Wednesday, November 18, for a lively and intimate afternoon conversation. Senior Curator Barbara Paris Gifford will sit down with her longtime friend and colleague to explore Drutt’s remarkable career and her four decades of championing contemporary jewelry in the United States and Germany.
Following the conversation, Drutt will be joined by artists featured in Among Friends: American and German Jewelry Artists from the Helen Williams Drutt Collection for a book signing. Published jointly by three Munich institutions (the Danner Foundation, Die Neue Sammlung, and Galerie Handwerk), the book celebrates Drutt’s 40 years of work between the two countries, where she has built connections, nurtured artists, and helped establish contemporary jewelry as a vital creative practice.

Born on this day in 1945, jewelry artist Eleanor Moty has spent more than four decades turning stone into abstract brooches. But stone wasn’t always at the center of her work. When she rose to prominence in the early 1970s, Moty made her name with photofabrication and electroforming, creating narrative pieces that showed her technical innovation and the Funk aesthetic of the time. Toward the end of the decade, she turned to stone, and almost all of her work since has begun with one. Complex-cut crystals are at the heart of her practice, which she treats as a two-way conversation with the landscape.
Icicle Brooch II (1989), in the MAD collection, was made during Moty’s 28 years teaching at the University of Wisconsin–Madison. Its hard-edged facets are softened by the rutile inclusions suspended inside the quartz, like frost caught in ice. The work recalls the icicles that hung from the leaves of the rural Illinois farmhouse where Moty grew up.

Meet Sula Bermudez-Silverman, our Burke Resident this year! The Burke Residency, a biennial partnership between the Museum of Art and Design (MAD) and The Studio, offers selected Burke Prize finalists an immersive opportunity to explore glass as a new material and expand their creative practice.
Known for work that draws from mythology, history, and material exploration, Sula used her time as this year’s Burke resident to experiment across multiple glassmaking processes, moving between the hot shop, kiln casting, kilnforming, and mold-making as ideas evolved.
She focused on investigations involving glass panes and metal, exploring slumping processes, mold release materials, kiln schedules, and new approaches to working across different techniques. She also continued experiments with blowing glass through metal and kiln casting with silica and plaster molds.
“The residency gave me the precious gift of uninterrupted time and space to learn and experiment with glass in ways I hadn’t before and to follow ideas across different processes. I loved being able to move between the hot shop, casting, and kiln work, and to try things that I don’t usually have access to. I learned so much from the brilliant people I worked with at Corning, who helped me take my experiments further than I could have on my own.” — @cyber.sula
We’re excited to see how the experiments, discoveries, and new directions that emerged during Sula’s time at The Studio continue to take shape in her work. ✨

Discover the making of John Procario: Freeforms – Sculptural Explorations in Wood and Light in a special behind-the-scenes film, now available on our YouTube channel via the link in bio.
Join Todd Merrill for an intimate look inside Procario’s studio, exploring the creative process and technical innovation behind his sculptural works. The film also features conversations with Todd Merrill and interviews with Glenn Adamson, Elissa Auther, Christopher Gaona, and Tony Ingrao, offering insight into Procario’s singular approach to the intersection of art, craft, light, and design.
Todd Merrill Studio is proud to celebrate John Procario’s first solo museum exhibition at the Museum of Arts and Design (MAD) in New York City.
On view through April 4, 2027, Freeforms – Sculptural Explorations in Wood and Light marks a significant milestone in contemporary design as the first museum solo exhibition devoted to LED sculptural lighting.
From his iconic Freeform light sculptures to his Sculpted Sofas, Procario continues to redefine the possibilities of contemporary collectible design through an exploration of material, form, and light.
As curator and design historian Glenn Adamson writes, Procario’s works “float free” of their historical precedents, with “each [being] a pure boundary establishing its own framework of reference.”
Watch the full behind-the-scenes film on our YouTube channel.
Exhibition generously supported by Dedar Milano.

Happy Marathon Day, New York! 🏅👟
In 2016, Nike launched an attempt to run a marathon in under two hours. Kenyan runner Eliud Kipchoge pulled off the superhuman feat on his second attempt, on October 12, 2019, finishing with twenty seconds to spare at 01:59:40.
The shoe seen here was made for Zersenay Tadese, one of Kipchoge’s fellow marathoners on the Breaking2 project. The shoe’s curving lines and tapered heel make it look sculptural, but the shape is actually determined by sports science.
See this design and more in Nike: Form Follows Motion, on view at MAD through March 7, 2027.
