Plastic Rapt:

A History of Designing Forever

By Kathleen Campbell

Exhibition at Goldstein Gallery June 17 – September 25, 2022 We have a complex relationship with plastic. Stop and look around…and at yourself. From the shoes on your feet, to the paint on your walls, from medical implants to artificial turf—we are surrounded by plastic. We can’t get along without it, and we take its benefits for granted.

Using objects from the Goldstein, this exhibition will examine the history of plastic and its beauty and diversity as a design material.

Most of us are well aware that plastic has a dual nature: beautiful, quirky, colorful, and strong, but made into products of planned obsolescence. Plastic enhances our quality of life by solving design problems. It is also asphyxiating the earth’s oceans and atmosphere. Plastic can substitute for rare or expensive natural materials like wood, metal, or wool, but it is not designed to go away when we want it to.

Celluloid, the earliest semi-synthetic plastic, was 4

SPRING 2022

invented in 1870 as a substitute for ever-scarcer ivory, the material used for billiard balls at that time. Plastic’s use as a material imitating nature expanded from there. The exhibition will include many “faux” objects made from celluloid, including decorative combs and fans imitating tortoise shell, amber, and ivory. Bakelite (1907), the first true synthetic plastic, had diverse applications, including jewelry, toys, radios, and the decorative handles for things like cocktail shakers.

Inventiveness around plastic was further unleashed during World War II with the development of nylon as a substitute for silk parachutes. This inventiveness has continued unabated, with the creation of everything from a molded-polypropylene chair to polyester double knits and CD players. Plastic Rapt: A History of Designing Forever acknowledges both plastic’s extreme versability as well as its inherently detrimental qualities, which cannot be completely neutralized.

GMD Objects in Print

By Eunice Haugen GMD’s collection images are used for many things, including social media, online exhibitions, and research. The request for images to be used in publications, textbooks, curriculum, and peer reviewed journals is on the rise. Here are some of the reproduction requests from the past year.

Maier, A.J. (2021). Is Cleopatra black?: Examining whiteness and the American New Woman. Humanities, 10(2), p68 In January 2021, art history Ph.D. candidate Angelica Maier requested a photo of a 1920s-era dress by Callot Soeurs that inspired her research. The resulting article “Is Cleopatra Black?: Examining Whiteness and the American New Woman" has been published by the journal Humanities for a special issue titled Gender, Race and Material Culture.

Silk dress, 1925, by Callot Soeurs. Gift of Mrs. Roger (Katherine) Shepard.

Chrisman-Campbell, K. (2020). The Way We Wed: A Global History of Wedding Fashion. Philadelphia, Running Press.

Costume Historian Kimberly ChrismanCampbell’s new book features GMD’s WAVES uniform (Women Accepted for Volunteer Emergency Service) worn by UMN Home Economics alum Dorothy Samuelson Leeds for her wedding to Herbert Leeds in 1944.

During World War II, Dorothy applied for a commission in WAVES, the newly formed women’s branch of the Navy, and was named Senior Uniform Officer at the WAVES training station. Dorothy noted that “Between February 1943 and August 1945, my department put 90,000 women in navy blue. It was a unique experience because it was an unprecedented, ingenious, efficient, and cooperative effort between the military and six highly competitive New York department stores." This highly admired wool suit was created by highprofile American designer Mainbocher.

Raizman, D. (2020). History of Modern Design (2nd Ed.). London: Laurence King Publishing.

Originally published in 2004, David Raizman’s book History of Modern Design is currently used as a text at over 100 colleges and universities worldwide, including the UMN College of Design’s course History of Product Design.

The book features 577 illustrations including a screen-printed textile from the GMD collection, by Henriette Reiss designed in 1928 entitled Rhythm Series.

Jachimowicz, E. (2019). Bes-Ben: Chicago’s Mad Hatter. Chicago: Art Vision, LLC. Elizabeth Jachimowicz’s book Bes-Ben: Chicago’s Mad Hatter includes one of GMD’s eight Bes-Ben hats in its glossy pages. As described in the book’s forward, the co-founder Bes-Ben was “…more than a milliner. He was an artist, visionary, and businessman, as well as an astute observer of people and culture.” The beaded birds on this hat exemplify the wit and humor that they used in adorning women.

Happy Retirement to Eunice Haugen!

By Jean McElvain Collection objects don’t magically populate in GMD’s database and fit with ease into storage areas. Nor are they simply hung up on a gallery wall with a nail, casually placed on a base, or quickly buttoned onto a mannequin. Caring for a 35,000+ object collection is something that Eunice has done with professionalism and skill since taking on the role of Registrar at the Goldstein Museum of Design in 2008. As she prepares for retirement in June 2022, we thought we’d take a moment to look back on some of her many accomplishments.

1. The Road to Digitization. In 2010, Eunice oversaw our entrance into digitization through the IMLS (Institute of Museum and Library Services) grant program. In writing the proposal, Eunice collaborated with UMN’s IT department, the Digital Content Library, and technical experts who understood digital photographic processes and meta data. Her own knowledge of collection data guided the selection of a new relational database that could house visual data. During the past 12 years Eunice has been instrumental in bringing in over $1 million in grant money for this ongoing project.

2. Get them Rolling! Eunice launched and executed the rehousing of GMD’s 4000+ object international textile collection. Prior to her arrival, textiles were stacked high and difficult to access. Eunice assessed all objects, grouped them by region and technique, cut custom length archival tubing, folded textiles that could not be rolled, labeled boxes, updated database locations, and reconciled the records of SO. MANY. 8

3. Exhibition Installation. Eunice understands how to handle art. From mounting fragile textiles with insect pins to renting a cherry picker for hanging a large fabric sculpture in the middle of McNeal Hall’s atrium, Eunice knows the biz. Do you know how many times you should wash yardage before creating a pinboard for a museum object? Eunice does. Do you know how to create wood mounting cleats for text panels? Eunice does. And how many times has Eunice moved exhibition furnishings back and forth between the gallery and storage? As many times as you see exhibitions to the right.

4. Follow the Trail! Eunice has tracked down hundreds of records, reconciling orphaned objects with original donors. She has also overseen the acquisition of 5000+ objects since she began in 2008, which includes over 1900 scarves by Vera Neumann; 300+ objects from a product design collaboration between Design Guys, Michael Graves, and Target; 260+ studio ceramic pieces; and thousands of additional objects. Caring for new acquisitions requires grant money, which Eunice has persistently and successfully pursued over the years.

Although it often remains behind the scenes, Eunice’s work is a critical part of GMD’s goals related to heritage preservation and collection resource accessibility.

Besides all of the amazing things she has done for the Goldstein, Eunice’s good humor and camaraderie will be missed very much! Thank you Eunice!

With a return of students to campus during the Fall 2021 semester came the return of the GMD Creativity Break! GMD Graduate Assistants invited students to take a chill pill from studying with 1980s inspired crafts and snacks. Sounds of the 80s blared through the McNeal Hall atrium as students chose between take-and-go kits of beaded safety pin jewelry or slap

The Goldstein has an HBC blanket coat from the 1916 St. Paul Winter Carnival. The double-breasted coat features the iconic HBC green, red, yellow, and indigo/ black stripes on a white background. While our records

do not indicate if the original owner was a member of a specific marching club, the 1916 carnival program sheds light on who might have worn a similarly striped coat. A list of the participating marching clubs and their uniform colors states that Glacier Park Marching Club wore “red, white, green, yellow, and black uniforms.”

Glacier Park was the club name given to Louis’s Great Northern Railroad employees. Photos from the De Luxe Souvenir View Book of the 1916 carnival show both Louis and the Glacier Park members in coats that match in appearance to the one in the Goldstein.

These coats share the same stripes, military-inspired detailing in cording along the sleeves and back panel, felted rosettes, and detachable hoods. Also common among Glacier Park and other marching club uniforms were layers of pinked felt at the shoulders, typically matching the unique stripe colors of each coat.

Legend has it that in Saint Paul, King Boreas reigns supreme throughout winter. That is until January, when Vulcanus Rex, the god of Fire, storms Boreas’ ice palace and declares an end to winter. This legend is the premise of the Saint Paul Winter Carnival, held since 1886 to celebrate local businesses and prove that cold weather can be enjoyed. In 1916, Louis W. Hill, President of the Great Northern Railway and son of James J. Hill, revitalized the carnival after a 20year hiatus. Louis was determined to bring it back in grand style. He meticulously planned every detail, right down to the costumes worn by carnival royalty, marching clubs, and festival-goers. Costumes and uniforms have long been a part of the winter carnival, with special outfits for royalty and uniforms for the dozens of marching clubs representing local businesses. Reportedly, Louis ordered hundreds of Hudson’s Bay Company (HBC) point blankets in specific stripe color combinations. St. Paul businesses spent the weeks before the carnival turning these blankets into double-breasted coats, long jackets, and breeches for revelry goers.

A Carnival of Coats

After 1917, the Winter Carnival was paused due to the US entry into World War I. By the time the next carnival was held in 1937, the blanket coats were no longer available. Most had been sent to Finland in 1918 as part of war relief efforts. As a result, few remaining carnival blanket coats survive from this era, including the one held at the Goldstein.

Welcome New Staff to the Goldstein!

Fadi Abuhaltam Fadi Abuhaltam, the New Dora Agee Waller Graphic Design Assistant, is a multidisciplinary designer and a graduate student in Graphic Design focusing on Human Computer Interaction, and minoring in Human Factors and Ergonomics. He is interested in researching novel ways to maximize interaction across established and emergent technologies. He develops the graphics used in GMD's online and offline marketing channels.

"I feel very fortunate to be part of such a positive, dynamic team. I became swiftly up to speed through the collaborative working environment at GMD. I also developed an interest in apparel history, working closely with apparel curators and graduate students at the College of Design."

Ellie Kingsbury Ellie Kingsbury is a new hire as photographer, collaborating in Goldstein's digitization project. She has been a selfemployed commercial photographer since 1994, working with local, national, and international clients. Ellie is an artist member of Form + Content Gallery as well as Traffic Zone Center for Visual Arts, both located in downtown Minneapolis. She is excited to bring her years of experience in photography, digital post-production, and collections documentation to the team.

"The Goldstein is a unique and important institution on a national level. I've had a love of design since I was in middle school, and appreciate how the Goldstein incorporates the practice as a whole, featuring costume, product, textiles, graphic design, and more. These items have historical relevance as well as aesthetics, and being a part of a team that shares them with the public will be a joy."

Rebekah Njaa is the Museum Preparator for GMD’s collections digitization project. She is a graduate of the Textile Conservation and Restoration program at Istituto per l’Arte e il Restauro in Florence, Italy, and has over 30 years of experience working in museum conservation labs, exhibit preparation, and documentation. Her expertise in archival textile preparation, handling, storage, and display brought her to the Goldstein in 2010, when the museum’s digitization initiative was launched. In 2018, she left the Goldstein to work at the Minnesota Historical Society as Assistant Registrar. She is now happy to be back on “Team Digi”, helping to launch the second decade of collections digitization at the Goldstein and making the museum accessible to all.

"I tell people that my job is a combination of Project Runway and Antiques Roadshow! I work with the museum’s Curator and Registrar to select objects for photography, then I take items from storage and get them ready for their photoshoot. That may mean preparing a gown from 1815 and dressing it on a modified body form, or it may also mean that I need to have a cart of ceramics ready for the photo studio. The Photographer and I work together to photo document each piece, and after the items are returned to storage the next round begins. The job of Museum Preparator is a never-ending cycle where each new piece is its own small adventure."

Director's Note Each semester GMD shares hundreds of objects with classes across UMN’s campus. For example, this semester we’ve pulled textiles from storage that embody an amazing variety of techniques and expertise: Nigerian fold dyes, Uzbek ikat, Japanese shibori, Indonesian batik, and American screen printing.

Seeing the “real McCoy” gives viewers a sense of scale, texture, and vibrancy that is difficult to replicate with standard photography. Additionally, seeing objects in a group offers an opportunity to discuss them in depth.

Despite the potentially inspiring work sitting before them, students approach group discussion with reticence. It is difficult to articulate the visual world of everyday things with your peers. How do you begin to decode the commonality and ubiquity of design? This ongoing learning process reveals that inspiration is not passive, but rather something actively engaged with. GMD thanks all of you who support our mission to inspire, to inform, and to talk about design.
