Milan Design Week 2022 aims to restore the city's role as the European Capital of Design. The event will raise the profile of Milanese genius loci and include international creative movements, former emerging countries and current global leaders. Superstudio has followed this path since it began its activity and this year has seen its location grow.

For the Superdesign Show 2022, two distinctly different and synergistic projects have been conceived: LOOKING AHEAD at Superstudio Più and DNA.DESIGNNATUREARCHITECTURE at Superstudio Maxi...

Superstudio Più: where trends were born...

The street-artist TvBoy (alias Salvatore Benintende) presents an exhibition at Mudec that traces his artistic journey from the streets to the museums with icons of media personalities and even former enemies who ended up as friends. As Mudec and many publications did, we are pleased to present his exhibition. Despite the enthusiasm, we owe it to our readers to make it clear that this is not his first show: his "first time" in an art-space was in 2010 at the Art Point at Superstudio Più with Mash Up. After 11 years, it was good to see him again in via Tortona...

While we were all preparing for a "lighter" autumn after many difficult months, ready to leave our holes and return to offices, shops, clubs, events – encouraged by decreasing infections index and hospitals getting closer to standard levels – the untrustworthy Covid white and red mass – seemingly looking like a harmless cartoon drawing, yet being an invisible enemy causing harmful consequences all around the world – kept creating panic and destruction. Suddenly, the health situation started to scare us again, also due to the many blah, blah, blah of unqualified television personalities, crowds of No Vax No Mask No Pass No Everything, while at least vaccinations...

What happens when a system fails? Or when a single cell sticks to a frame, and art merges with life? How does man invent infinity and go beyond himself? What kind of landscape welcomes all the possibilities? These are some of the questions posed by some of the works on display in the collective Osservatorio X, organized for the first time in collaboration with the Brera Academy of Fine Arts. Through a selection of artists who learnt their skills in the painting classrooms of the Academy, we show off the art which is now exhibited into our basement. It's a shame not to bring it into the light...
