Matali Crasset’s objects offer us to operate the "return to childhood". A childhood that is not linked to age, but rather a place of true experience once again possible. A sort of "childhood of man". The Arc-en-ciel project is a children's furniture program manufacured by Arbor'Ethique for Mica that consists of a table and two chair models in their simplest form. A stick shape constitutes the backbone of the furniture: it becomes the alphabet as well as the principle of construction: foot or back. A quarter round that avoids any protruding side. The whole is made of solid wood. The chairs are offered in a polychromatic version with natural stain, two-tone orange and yellow and with a harmony of three shades yellow, orange, green. Love it!

Fondazione Palazzo Strozzi presents Olafur Eliasson: In your time, the largest exhibition ever held in Italy dedicated to one of the most original and visionary contemporary artists of our time. Famous for immersive installations that focus on the visitor, Olafur Eliasson invites us to reflect on the idea of shared and relational experience of reality. Curated by Arturo Galansino, Fondazione Palazzo Strozzi General Director, the exhibition is the result of Olafur Eliasson's direct work on the Palazzo Strozzi’s spaces. The artist works on all Renaissance environments creating an engaging path between new installations and historical works that use elements such as color, water and light to create an interaction with our senses and the space. The exhibition is held in conjunction with the presentation of a new site specific installation by the artist for the Castello di Rivoli Museum of Contemporary Art which will be open to the public from 3 November 2022.

The curatorial collective OTTN Projects is glad to announce Florilegium, is the first solo show in Italy by artist Rebecca Louise Law, hosted in Parma at Chiesa di San Tiburzio.
Rebecca Louise Law is a British Artist whose larger-than-life installations and site-specific sculptures capture the profound power of nature. The work presented during Florilegium exhibition is thought of as an actual being designed to evolve within the hosting space, following the natural course of time. The artist is driven by the acknowledgment of nature itself, particularly flowers which for the artist represent youth, happiness, and freedom, an infinite life. The title Florilegium comes from the Latin “to keep and to preserve flowers”. We totally love this site-specific and immersive installation that deals with increasingly urgent themes such as the strong yet delicate relationship between hu- manity and the surrounding nature.
