Les Monstres Amis. Emilio Scanavino e la X Triennale

The Fondazione Emilio Scanavino presents the exhibition Les Monstres Amis. Emilio Scanavino e la X Triennale, curated by Michel Gauthier and Marco Scotini, which revisits a foundational moment in the history of art and design. The exhibition focuses on the participation of Scanavino and other prominent artists of the time in the Milan Triennial X of 1954, devoting particular attention to the ceramics section, an important occasion of dialogue between art and industrial design.
Les Monstres Amis recreates the ambience of the Triennal's ceramics hall, which in 1954 housed works created in Albisola the previous summer by artists such as Enrico Baj, Sergio Dangelo, Corneille, Asger Jorn, Roberto Matta, Lucio Fontana and Emilio Scanavino himself, within a setting curated by Joe Colombo.
