Hourglass | Aldo Rossi. Design. Milan. Design. Milan.

KLESSIDRA | EDITED BY FRANCESCO GALLO MAZZEO

The exhibition of the work of one of the greatest masters of design from the last century, and which remains highly relevant for us today. Three hundred and fifty works. Objects, drawings, furniture, prototypes. Exhibition design by Morris Adjani, of Studio Rossi in New York. In short, a wonderful opportunity to read (or re-read) the multifaceted and complex work, both acclaimed and controversial, of one of the architects of postmodernism, characterised by re-design, re-definition, re-planning; that is, by the fascinating, though not universally convincing, attempt to give the present, to give the future, an ancient heart, moving forward decisively, but without leaving the past to an inevitable death. Naturally, not all of the past is, in Aldo Rossi's mind, alive and well, but only that which, from time to time, stirs desire, imagination, the possibility of connecting the legacies of memory with the present day. food processor Today's.

Purpose of World Theatre, presented at the Venice Biennale in 1980, is to continue an inventive journey, which then sees him in the Elba Cabin or in Tea Coffee, comforted by his formal prototypes of the cone and octagon, which guide him in his wanderings, from the grand (urban planning and architecture) to the small (coffee pot or everyday objects), in a circularity that is his personality, his psychology, from the official and relational, to the intimate and psychological, in the cultural phenomenon of the consumption of the vertigo of modernism, housed in a dynamic continuity, rather than a discontinuity, that must start from scratch each time, using all that is new and contemporary, capable of new and green youth.
