Welcome to the Not Old Better Show. I'm your host Paul Vogel-Zang and this is episode

number 238. As part of our Smithsonian Associates, Art of Living Interview Series, our guest today on the

Not Old Better Show is Matthew Yakubowski.

Matthew Yakubowski is the senior curator of fashion and material culture at the Brooklyn

Museum, the site of the last stop on the world tour of the David Bowie is exhibition.

The David Bowie exhibition has been getting rave reviews and the Brooklyn Museum under the direction of Matthew

Yachabowski was designed specifically for the exhibition which added over a

hundred new works. Matthew and I discuss the details of the exhibition, how it was adapted for the Brooklyn

Museum's unique gallery spaces and audience, and how the content and design of the exhibition merged to create an immersive visitor experience

featuring the art, fashion, and remarkable career of David Bowie.

The Brooklyn Museum presentation of David Bowie is the end of a five year, and this is the final stop for this

show, and I'm really looking forward to coming to the Smithsonian to talk about its evolution and how David Bowie was one of the greatest

visualizers of rock music in the 20th century. That of course is our guest

today, Matthew Yakubowski who will be appearing at the Smithsonian

Associates Program July 20, 2018 at the Ripley Center in Washington, D.C.

Please check out our website for more details, but please join me in welcoming to the

not-old-better show via internet phone, Matthew Yakabowski.
