Il Giardino di Pietra 

Godetevi una passeggiata in questo meraviglioso “giardino”: perdetevi fra i fiori e fra le note di Bach, Beethoven e di tutti gli altri artisti che si sono sentiti ispirati dal suonare in questo Teatro. Godetevi la sensazione di farvi rubare il fiato dall’ennesimo capolavoro che questa città ha da offrire.
Chiudete gli occhi, immaginate un organo da più di 3700 tubi suonare Toccata e fuga in Re Minore di Johann Sebastian Bach; nel caso in cui non foste familiari con quella sensazione, sappiate che pavimento e pareti vibrano all’unisono sulle note del “re degli strumenti musicali”, ed è esattamente così che il Palau de la Música Catalana ha…

Legality and Legitimacy: Who Decides What Belongs On Our Walls?

When does a wall become a gallery? Who decides it? Graffiti, mosaics, murals: crime to some, culture to others.
Walls speak to those who pass by and give themselves time to listen, they talk through architecture and scream through street art. The latter has always been a highly controversial topic amongst the inhabitants of large cities. Graffiti, mosaics,…

Dolce far Niente à la Balkan 

Dolce far niente is definitely what makes Italian life so dreamy. But Balkan people have also adopted that mindset and, believe it or not, we have more things in common than one might think. The difference, however, lies in the reason why the sweetness of doing nothing has been embraced as a lifestyle.
The art of sipping your coffee, ignoring all your worries, chatting with the neighbors, while the feeling of accomplishment still manages to spread through your body. It marks another day in which you have managed to simply enjoy living. This might seem inconceivable for whole nations but here, in Southern Europe, it’s an entire philosophy,…

Do Ho Suh’s ‘Walk the House’ Exhibition

‘Walk the house’ is a Korean expression that refers to the ability of hanoks, traditional Korean houses, to be dissassembled and reassembled in a different location. Suh reinterprets this expression, reflecting on how we can carry different places within ourselves across space and time. This exhibition embodies that idea, acting as a portable archive of the memories associated with places he considers to be home.
Fingerprints, long regarded as immutable markers of identity, are unique to each individual and remain unaltered across a lifetime, unless damaged at the deepest of layers. In the creation of his art, South Korean artist Do Ho Suh lost…

La bellezza della natura attraverso gli occhi di Antoni Gaudí

To Live Artistically in the Era of AI

To live is to embrace the wind of evolution guiding towards the better. Still, the definition of that "better" is now being shaped by the power of AI, which engages in the crafting of human feelings in the realm of the arts. Are emotions, thus, an artificial product? And could artistic expression be constructed by a machine, which reasons similarly to humans, but lacks the abstract power of their sensitivity?
To live is to feel, namely to interiorise or, even better, to sensibly borrow somebody’s personal occurrences and redesign their boundaries to more closely resemble one’s own spirit and way of perceiving. A living being adheres, perhaps unconsciously, to a policy of…

Inequalities: the Theme Chosen by Triennale Milano for the 2025 Exhibition

"We are born unequal, all of us." This is the counter-intuitive premise from which Triennale Milano started to design its new exhibition titled “Inequalities”. From birth, differences in our biology, families, and places shape our chances, creating inequalities we inherit, encounter, and sometimes even reproduce. Rather than pretending to resolve the issue, the exhibition maps these disparities and asks how differences can become a shared resource and the basis for new communities. It ultimately calls on visitors to envision policies and everyday practices capable of guiding their own community out of disparity and towards dignity.
“We are born unequal, all of us.” These are the words chosen by Stefano Boeri, General Commissioner of the Triennale Milano, to open his introductory speech to the 2025 Exhibition, as reported in the visitor guide available in print…
