RUN RUN RUN RUN – exhibition and lectures
Poster by Caterina Giuliani and Melissa Destino
Giovanna Zanghellini and Caterina Giuliani – two designers participating in the Construction site for non-affirmative practice – proposed RUN RUN RUN RUN, a one-week initiative that intended to analyse and question the phenomenon of contemporary socio-economic precarity. During this initiative we heard interventions by San Precario, the Carrotworkers’ Collective and Serpica Naro.
RUN RUN RUN RUN – lending its name to the initiative – is an exhibition curated by Melissa Destino on the state of precarity. The exhibition combines the perspectives of art and the design while confronting them with philosophical and psychological points of view in order to offer a multi-faceted scenario.
Works by Caterina Giuliani and Samuel Williams.
ABITO – is a project by Giovanna Zanghellini that narrates the conditions of precarity through objects.
How are objects and the concept of “home” changing while we live the liquid modernity? What mechanisms of adaptation could develop from this situation? Can the notion of precarity become tangible in relation to the conditions and perceptions of how we live?
ABITO takes its roots in a series of reflections on the phenomenon of precarity and its consequences on how we inhabit spaces. A series of garments are covering furniture and objects, adapting themselves to the changing contexts we live and recreating an atmosphere that makes us feel home.
