The Triennale Design Museum: Antonio Marras exhibition

The Triennalle Design Museum is hosting until 21st January 2017 the ‘Antonio Marras: Nulla dies sine linea’ exhibition. The latter is an anthological exhibition of works of art executed over the last twenty years, illustrating Antonio Marras’s visual trajectory.

The exhibition’s title – Pliny the Elder’s famous phrase with which he referred to the painter Apelles who “never let a day pass without tracing a line” – alludes to how Marras has always combined his work as a stylist with that of the artist.

Antonio Marras, known as “the most intellectual of Italian stylists”, is renowned above all for creating fusions of the worlds in the creative universe, from cinema to poetry to history and visual art. This last is in fact the focus of the exhibition. The exhibition relates Antonio Marras’s visionary world, highlighting the emotion-driven and intellectual signs that marked important stages in his life.

In the words of curator Francesca Alfano Miglietti, the exhibition is intended as: “a fully-involving experience, a journey into a stimulating, provocative world (stimulating because it is provocative) that is sometimes absolute, sporadically uninhibited”.
