Shelf Life Photo Diary

Shelf Life Photo Diary

Date

By Nigel Sielegar

Another opening, another show?? No way!!! A smashing opening, a boffo show!!! Last night the MFAD first year exhibition, Shelf Life, an imagining of product trade characters for products that never had trade characters, opened for its two week run at the SVA Gramercy Gallery. Curated by the Napoleon of Three Dimensions, Kevin O'Callaghan, the students invented mascots and created products that explored the inner psyche of product appeal.
