From 19 to 23 April, on the occasion of the Salone del Mobile, the Ambrosiana will host the exhibition “Nice To See You” by Gaetano Pesce.
Thirty works by the recently deceased architect, artist and designer will be exhibited in the Sala Accademie and in the atrium of the Biblioteca Ambrosiana. They were all created between 2023 and 2024, personally selected by the artist not only for their functional role, intrinsic to the word ‘design’, but also as bearers of messages.
“The design of the various art directors that have no reason to exist and lead Italian industries to repeat themselves without creativity. This is not the design I am interested in,” Pesce said. “What we want to convey is rich in meaning, not only does form follow function, but it has a third, very important element, namely meaning, which can make people think on a political, socio-economic, religious, philosophical, behavioural and personal level.”
This is the main message that the exhibition ‘Nice to See You’ intends to convey.
From 18.00 to 19.30 pm entrance to the Pinacoteca and Crypt at the special price of €3.00
