Running through May 1, the cultural event celebrating fine craftsmanship groups 15 exhibitions curated by the likes of Judith Clark, Robert Wilson, Michele de Lucchi and Stefano Boeri, among others.
’s artisans show the signature “Mosaico” handmade weaving of soft lamb nappa strips through the creation of some of the brand’s iconic bags and one-of-a-kind leather items inspired by the Japanese culture. These include a jewelry box hand-painted on the inside with natural pigments by the Japanese artist Shoko Okumura.“It’s an exhibition of metal cases as you see in a museum in the central area and then at the sides….
“It was a very long process because it was not like curating a normal exhibition where I just decide a theme and I choose objects to illustrate it,” said Clark, underscoring how each luxury house chose the craft that was more relevant to it. “Then we needed to find other objects, not only that they were making now but from their heritage department, to show that this is somehow a tradition within their house,” she continued.
“So there’s a lot of motifs going through [the exhibition,] it was about keeping a lot of ideas to create this kind of visual map to walk through. For me this was the challenge but also why I do and love this job,” said Clark, who shied away from expressing a favorite piece in the exhibition, as it would be “like choosing between children.
“I think this is an opportunity to see Bob Wilson at work, and see him doing an installation that isn’t in a theater but in a swimming pool is quite extraordinary,” said Clark.Alessandra Chemollo/Courtesy ofMichelangelo Foundation
