CORPO, MOVIMENTO, STRUTTURA (BODY, MOVEMENT, STRUCTURE)

Six designers and six architects recounting the common language composed of relationships, connections and the balance of weights and volumes shared by architecture and jewellery: BODY, MOVEMENT, STRUCTURE. Contemporary jewellery and its construction, the exhibition curated by Domitilla Dardi that until 14 January 2018 bringing to MAXXI a new look at contemporary jewellery.

Giampaolo Babetto, David Bielander, Helen Britton, Peter Chang, Monica Cecchi e Philip Sajet are the six designers called to interpret through new pieces created ad hoc the architectural models by Vittorio De Feo, IaN+, Sergio Musmeci, Pier Luigi Nervi, Maurizio Sacripanti and Carlo Scarpa conserved in the MAXXI Architettura collections.

The exhibition BODY, MOVEMENT, STRUCTURE explores the relationship between the small and large scales: the jewellery will be presented together with the preparatory drawings and the documentary apparatus shedding light on the design process and the execution of one-off pieces and limited editions, completely different to industrial jewellery. In the same way, the architectural models will be accompanied by drawings, photographs and video again reconstructing a sense of the entire design process.
