黑料不打烊

To coincide with the opening of the FIAC 2019, the architect Charles Zana and Tornabuoni Art will inaugurate 鈥楿topia鈥�, an exhibition that creates connections between post-war Italian art and design, from 17 October to 21 December.

This exhibition, designed and conceived by the architect Charles Zana in collaboration with Tornabuoni Art, is based on the idea of dialogue, like previous exhibitions designed by the architect. This dialogue unfolds room by room in the show, whose name is inspired by the 鈥楿topia鈥� lamp created by the architect Nanda Vigo in 1970. This iconic lamp - shaped like a frame - transforms the empty space at its heart into a picture made of light.

鈥淚n 鈥楿topia鈥� I want to show how the different Italian avant-garde movements disrupted the history of art and design in the 20th century,鈥� says Zana. 鈥淭his incredible creative effervescence of artists and architects in the aftermath of World War II gave birth to visionary forms that had never been seen before and I dreamed of this as utopia.鈥� Through around forty pairings of works of art and design, where furniture, painting and sculpture will be in dialogue, 鈥楿topia鈥� offers an original exploration of the relationships between the greatest Italian artists and architects from the 1950s to the 1980s to reveal the common aspirations and experimental spirit of this visionary generation who sought to reimagine Italy in the decades following the War.
