The exhibition on Ettore Sottsass at the Triennale, explained

With Barbara Radice and Iskra Grisosgono

"This third exhibition project comes from the collaboration with Barbara Radice and Iskra Grisosgono of the Studio Sottsass strong> It is a path dedicated to all the times in which some form of literature has entered his work.

Which happened very often, I think of the projects and sketches completed with long texts written in his own hand.

In the exhibition, therefore, there is a bit of everything: from diaries to rants, from essays to articles, from poetry to calligraphy up to books published for Adelphi or Neri Pool".

A journey through words and sketches

The route does not follow a chronological line.

"We preferred to follow a thematic line because there are writings that cannot be referred to a specific decade or period, in some way they contemplate his entire career.

They range from some unpublished works kept in her personal sketchbooks to the small books in which she drew and which represent the most intimate moments of her creative life.

And around the walls, the public will find the enlarged reproductions of some pages of those on display, significant fragments for the concepts and for the centrality they have maintained in Sottsass' career".
