Nouvelles Natures - XXII° Triennale Milan
Scenographic conception and setting up of the exhibition.
The research approaches presented by Matter Matters demonstrate the willingness to give shape
to design strategies oriented to the exploitation of natural and ecologically noble materials, which, however, too often are neglected, trivialized, wasted or relegated to the status of waste.
Curator : Elena Tosi Brandi // Scenography : Xavier Montoy / Leo Sexer

Repairing Nature is today a major concern of the design world, which the XXII Triennial of Milan, Broken Nature, has chosen to explore. Across the world, current generations of students are proposing projects around this major issue. Investigating, experimenting, testing and speculating, the most remarkable projects of three French schools* are hosted by the Institut français de Milan from March 1 to April 15, 2019. Like an echo, an escape, a future already there... carrying contemporary and specific forms beyond the Triennial.
The curator (Catherine Geel) of the French section of this Triennial, entitled De la pensée au visible. Design As A Large Ring, suggested that the subject should escape from the pavilion and that texts, words and projects should be carried outside. In collaboration with the Ministry of Culture, the Institut français Milano has chosen to host the most remarkable projects of three French schools* around the major theme of Nature and ecology. With such an urgent theme, and sometimes also politically correct, the crest line on which these projects are developed is narrow. But design forms a large circle that can encompass some of the complexities at work on these subjects. Discipline broadens its stakes and ways of doing things evolve. Designers are developing other practices that schools can promote: based on collection, exploring the sensitive circulation of materials, living energies and speculation. They modify production paradigms. Projects not only provide the goods market, they also stimulate reflection on critical modes for future design means.
