The Chinese and Meissen

Carsten Holler, internationally known German artist, has a solo exhibition, curated by Vincente Todoli at HangarBicocca (7/04 – 31/07/2016). The exhibition unfolds through specular and parallel itineraries that require active participation from the public. Doubt has 20 works, some previously viewed and some new, connected to a sort of central axis, making them only half-visible. The other half is visible when walking the opposite side.
The collection includes works based on optical experimentation, others on a playful dimension. Two Flying Machines (2015) allows the participant to explore the sensation of flying, while Double Carousel is an adult merry-go-round. Inside the Cubo di Pirelli HangarBicocca space, there is the work, Two Roaming Beds (Grey), where visitors can pass an entire night inside the exhibition, resting in two beds that continuously move. The beds move randomly at an almost unperceivable speed, ensuring that the participant will awake in a different position than when they went to sleep.

The Moodboarders is a glance into the design world, which, in all of its facets, captures the extraordinary even within the routine. It is a measure of the times. It is an antenna sensitive enough to pick-up on budding trends, emerging talents and neglected aesthetics. Instead of essays, we use brief tales to tune into the rhythm of our world. We travelled for a year without stopping, and seeing as the memory of this journey has not faded, we have chosen to edit a printed copy. We eliminated anything episodic, ephemeral or fading, maintaining a variety of articles that flow, without losing the element of surprise, the events caught taking place, and the creations having just bloomed.
