The exhibition Geographies, under the curatorship of Beppe Finessi for Foscarini at the Poldi Pezzoli, introduces geography-inspired contemporary works, at the boundary between art and design, among the treasures of the historic museum in Milan. Globes, maps and continents woven on carpets, tables in the form of a peninsula, dresses incorporating cartographical designs and other references to the atlas of the world: these make up a refined exhibition that, in filigree, can be read as an invitation to travel in other cultures, thus giving the design an exploratory dimension. The roots of the latter would seem to be the desire to stimulate new directions of thinking, thus freeing the project from its traditional boundaries.
Where: Museo Poldi Pezzoli, Via Manzoni 12 – 20121 Milano
