Super Superstudio: radical art and architecture
PAC presents the work of Superstudio (1966-1978), the Italian group of radical architecture and radical design that has activated a revolution in the idea of design around the world.
The Superstudio have since the 70s historically animated the critique of modernism articulated through radical architecture, establishing themselves as the last great Italian avant-garde.
Co-curated by Andreas Angelidakis, Vittorio Pizzigoni and Valter Scelsi, the exhibition recounts how this group of Florentine architects has influenced not only great architects such as Zaha Hadid, Rem Koolhaas and Bernard Tschumi, but have definitely questioned the limits between contemporary art and architecture. The exhibition will bring together in a site-specific installation the main projects of Super Studio, the most iconic pieces of design, projects and movies, comparing them with a selection of 19 works by contemporary artists who have reworked practices and attitude of the Florentine collective.
