With OBSOLETELY FABULOUS, MFAD's First Year exhibition, about ready to flap its obsolete wings, we take you backstage to the workshop where first year students not only make things out of wood, metal and plastic, but reveal their literary prowess composing warning notes. Thanks to master-maker Adria Ingegneri for documenting these cautionary gems -- But don't you dare touch.
