SALONE NEWS 2007 in Milan vol.13
Triennale

I never fail to visit Triennale. It always has various exhibition programs some of which may be good and others of which may be not good. Where are the exhibitions of Mr.Kuma and Mr.Kenya Hara supposed to be held? They must be being held as presentations of a Japanese real-estate company. As this photo shows, at Triennale such variety of programs are taking place simultaneously as lectures given at the open space, Modern Italian Exhibition organized by Andrea Brandy and so on.
I cannot let you see what’s going on here because taking photos is prohibited. Anyway it’s so boring that I can even suspect that’s the reason why showing its pictures to other people is prohibited. The presentation being administered by Andrea is to show items on the moving display-plates using the machine for Merry-go-round sushi shops, which itself is an interesting idea but the problem is that the works of the young being shown there are all worthless.

The tendency like this is felt in the whole of Milan Salone. Young people living in the comfort of happiness, without any sense of crisis or hunger show the items they made for a pastime. I cannot help thinking that Milan Salone may soon be a history as such a loose atmosphere is wrapping all of Milan.

There is a presentation of ARTEC here at the Shelter of Shigeru Ban, which makes use of interesting material.
Around the pond of De Chirico on the side are many families and groups enjoying warm sunshine.
