Copper, interpreted in all its multiple forms and applications, is the main theme of Copper Crossings – Copper Shapes in Contemporary Art, Design, Technology and Architecture presented at Triennale di Milano.
The concept of the exhibition is by Elena Tettamanti and is co-produced with Eight Art Project – a new company set up to produce projects in contemporary art and in design – together with Triennale di Milano, Triennale Design Museum and Istituto Italiano del Rame with the patronage of the European Copper Institute.
In the world of design, copper has aroused great interest, particularly in recent times with surprising and original outcomes. Luigi Caccia Dominioni, Antonio Citterio, Dimore Studio, Tom Dixon, Odoardo Fioravanti, Martí Guixé, Gujan Gupta, Poul Henningsen, Thomas Heatherwick, Shiro Kuramata, Ross Lovegrove, Nucleo, Gio Ponti/Paolo De Poli, Tobia Scarpa, Ettore Sottsass, Oskar Zieta and Giorgio Vigna, to mention a few, have designed and created common household objects due to their attraction to the shine of copper and its oxidation and technological applications.
