In 2015 he was the recipient of the Cooper Hewitt's National Design Award for Communication Design. As both creator and curator, Krishnamurthy aims to discover \"how art \u0026amp; design can be agents of transformation for individuals, communities and institutions.\" Here, his collected writings from 2009 to 2024 are framed by two exhibition-like experiments: \u003ci\u003eA Year with Prem Krishnamurthy\u003c\/i\u003e at the KW Institute for Contemporary Art and \u003ci\u003eEndless Exhibition\u003c\/i\u003e at the Kunsthal Gent. Each section of the book is arranged by a different designer--Ann Richter, David Knowles, Mark Foss or Valentijn Goethals--giving the entire volume a sense of multiplicity. Taken together, \u003ci\u003ePast Words\u003c\/i\u003e looks at how design, curating, exhibition-making and language itself can create new realities.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cbr\u003e","brand":"Walther Konig Verlag","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":51324974629138,"sku":"9783753306940","price":34.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0831\/4771\/8930\/files\/img_6c3acb34-bdfa-4c43-81b4-62d39284e58d.jpg?v=1748708784","url":"https:\/\/surprise-castle.myshopify.com\/products\/prem-krishnamurthy-past-words-9783753306940","provider":"Surprise Castle","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
