    The Galleries at Moore presents DesignLab 20/10, a series of collaborative exhibitions that pairs emerging fashion designers with emerging artists and designers from Philadelphia in engaging mini-exhibitions that will be on view to the public 24/7. Selected artists will have the opportunity to respond to the work of selected fashion designers by creating an "environment" for displaying their designs in The Galleries' InSights Gallery / Window on Race Street. DesignLab 20/10 builds on the long tradition of artists and designers who have been "window dressers" — from Andy Warhol, Robert Rauschenberg and Roy Lichtenstein to numerous contemporary artists and designers who are invited to create imaginative and elaborate spaces designed to capture the eye and the imagination of passers-by along Madison Avenue, Rodeo Drive and other highly visible and prestigious retail venues around the globe. Department stores in the early 1900s, including Philadelphia's own Wannamaker’s, were known to use the windows as galleries for displaying art, in addition to displaying their products. Today the art of window dressing reflects broader trends in contemporary art and design from the minimal and resourceful to re-imagined and repurposed everyday objects and exuberant displays of technology.
