Aldo Bakker, Valentina Cameranesi Sgroi, Formafantasma, Martino Gamper, Odd Matter, Parasite 2.0, Soft<\/b> Baroque, Bethan Laura Wood, <\/b>and Zaven<\/b> have been invited to Palazzo Lezze Michiel<\/b>\u2014the Venetian home of Silvia Fiorucci<\/b>, founder and president of La Societ\u00e0 delle Api\u2014to reflect on the theme of the display as an interpretative act, one which is never neutral, designed to guide both perception and meaning.\r\n\r\nEach designer is called upon to imagine a display project and to implement its exhibitive function in relation to other works of art or design by figures such as Silvia B\u00e4chli, Aldo Bakker, John Baldessari, Valentina Cameranesi Sgroi, Chiara Camoni, Kueng Caputo, Marc Camille Chaimowicz<\/b>, Adriano Costa, Sylvie Fleury, Simone Forti, Enzo Mari, Nicolas Party, Sarah Pucci, Ettore Spalletti, <\/b>and Francis Upritchard.<\/b>\r\n\r\nThe works selected, almost all from the Silvia Fiorucci Collection<\/b>, are the upshot of a range of responses, rooted in the culture of design yet deeply intertwined with the personalities of the designers, from those who chose to engage with figures extremely close to them to those who preferred to seek dialogue with those furthest away.\r\n\r\nWhile placing an object on a pedestal is a universal symbolic gesture, one found even in childhood behavior, the concept of \u201cdisplay\u201d also raises very topical cultural issues, ones bound up in the role of design and its investigation of the present. This concept concerns the very life of a collection, be it private or public, as well as the broader definition of the exhibition context as a place of sharing and interaction with onlookers. The items on show are thus narrative, spatial, and design devices that go well beyond their sole function as physical supports so as to activate an exchange of meaning\u2014in an era marked by the proliferation of seemingly interchangeable images\u2014capable of capturing the viewer\u2019s gaze and conveying a specific stance on the work displayed.\r\n\r\nThe result is a choral exhibition which, through its blend of various languages, ideally reflects the dialogical practice pursued by La Societ\u00e0 delle Api in its research and its promotion of systematic and transversal comparisons between different disciplines, visions, and imaginaries.\r\n\r\nThe opening on November 21, 2025 at 5.30 pm will feature Aldo Bakker, Valentina Cameranesi Sgroi, Martino Gamper, Odd Matter, Parasite 2.0, Soft Baroque, <\/b>and Zaven,<\/b> talking about their projects with Silvia Fiorucci<\/b> in a conversation moderated by Annalisa Rosso<\/b>.\r\n\r\nLighting partner: FLOS<\/em>\r\n\r\nThanks go to: Giustini\/Stagetti for Document Table \/ Console by Formafantasma, Karakter for Console Table by Aldo Bakker<\/em>"},{"acf_fc_layout":"single-programmes-content-images-layout","single-programmes-content-images-repeater":[{"single-programmes-content-images":2587,"single-programmes-content-images-caption":"Aldo Bakker \/ \u00a9 ph.
