Nostalgia itsdelicate butpotent, DonDraper intonedin his famous pitch for theKodak account on MadMen, the 60s-set show thatis the subject of MatthewWeiners Mad Men, a newexhibition (March 14-June 14)at Astorias Museum of theMoving Image. An advertis-ing genius, Draper knew thepower of memory individ-ual and collective to evokeemotional connections. Yetshow creator MatthewWeiner knows nostalgiaalone isnt enough and forall the period costumes, sets,music and everyday items ondisplay, Mad Men, whichbegins its final run of sevenepisodes April 5 on AMC, isabout more than its decadestrappings.Indeed, says exhibition

curator Barbara Miller, theshow is less about theturbulently transitional 60sthan it is of universalideas about desire [and]self-invention. To thatend, the exhibition offersboth period artifacts andwhat Miller calls insightinto the formulation of theideas that are behind thisshow about a poor manwho took a dead mansidentity and remade him-self in an image both time-less and of the times.Included are sets from the

Drapers Ossining kitchen ofSeasons 1-4 andDonsManhattan office of Seasons4-6; a re-creation of the seriesreal-lifewriters room; 33costumes, includingMeganDrapers Zou Bisou Bisou

dress; and a collection ofWeiners notes, plus pages ofhis screenplay TheHorse-shoe,where the character

thatwould becomeDonDraper originated.The two sets, says Miller,

already were pieces of nos-talgia when the exhibitioncame together: No longer onthe shows soundstages, theyhad been disassembled forstorage in a warehouse innorthern Los Angeles. Butwith the aid of studioLionsgate and others, theywere trucked cross-countryand rebuilt at the museum.While a talk on March 20

by Weiner is sold out, themuseum hopes to have him

do another, says chief cura-tor David Schwartz. In themeantime, attendees canview 10 films Weiner select-ed including The Apart-ment, Patterns and BlueVelvet, screening throughApril 26 that influencedthe conception of MadMen so much, saysSchwartz, The main peoplewho worked on the showhad to see those movies.Likewise, those of us

already nostalgic for MadMen have to see thisexhibition. FRANK LOVECE
