Restarting, looking at the future, renewing: a common wish for us all, after the restrictions imposed by the pandemic. MAPIC, the international retail property market event, shares this vision and launches its fifth Italian edition to be held on 14-15 September 2021 in Milan.

MIA PHOTO FAIR 2021 AT SUPERSTUDIO MAXI

It was born right here, at Superstudio Più in via Tortona, ten years ago and it has immediately been regarded as the most important fair dedicated to photography and moving image. The coronavirus cancelled the celebration of the tenth anniversary, but MIA will be back in March more important and beautiful than ever in the new astonishing spaces of Superstudio Maxi, in via Moncucco.

“It is a sort of homecoming - states Fabio Castelli, patron of the fair together with his daughter Lorenza- “The first editions of MIA Photo Fair took place at Superstudio Più in the Tortona area, the well-known Design District of Milan. Since then, our relationships with the Superstudio Group have remained excellent. We started to deal with the Borioli family, owners of Superstudio, a few months ago, before the start of the renovation of SUPERSTUDIO MAXI, evaluating together which could be the possible synergies between MIA Photo Fair and Superstudio Events, entity which manages all the events of Superstudio Group. Furthermore, pushing towards wider scenarios, we feel that this new site has great potential and we think, with good hope, that the Famagosta district of Milan can quickly become one of the centres of photography in Milan, as far as the Tortona area has been for design"...

THE NEWS OF HYBRID EVENTS: PHYSICAL AND VIRTUAL

Posted by: Valeria De Grandis

Hybrid events, digital events, new attitudes for meeting management. These are the themes that agencies, locations, planners, creative people of the world of events deal with newfound enthusiasm. And that can renew live communication. Superstudio is already ready with its GoLive project.

The need for sociality is inherent in human beings, the importance of meeting, participating in aggregative events, getting to know each other, confronting each other is essential. The direction in which Superstudio is moving is to satisfy these needs not only by ensuring the adoption of appropriate hygiene-health measures but also by exploring new scenarios based on the use of web and digital technologies. Thus was born the GoLive project which offers in the spaces of Superstudio Più a TV-set ready to use, professional and adaptable to the most varied needs.

WOMEN IN THE WORLD OF EVENTS

Posted by: Valeria De Grandis

Women are increasingly becoming the protagonists of events and are, today, even more central to our political, cultural and social scene. Even at this critical moment, many well-known or less-known female figures are emerging, but often their role is not yet recognized as key.

The role of women and the valuable contribution that many of them have made and will continue to make to our events has been reflected in Superstudio for some time.
A few months ago Superstudio launched the first call of its kind for the project DD - Donne e Design (Women and Design), a special exhibition designed for the next edition of the Superdesign Show, a real tribute to women’s creativity, that is also the theme launched by the City of Milan for 2020, with the schedule "2020 Creativity. The talents of women".
Just looking at the most recent productions hosted in the spaces of Superstudio Più in recent months, we observe many female personalities, each one, in her own way, central in events of international standing.
This is the case, for example, of Brenda Bellei Bizzi CEO of the White Show...

FLYCAT’S UNDERGROUND CULTURE

“I am 50. Hard for me to believe it, I say this because I’m still the same, I still have my Dodgers baseball cap, coloured hands... I still get excited when I am given a new Hot Wheels as a present, I still get emotional when I look back at photos of my friends who have gone away too soon; this is the spirit that guided me up to now and it’s the same one that brought me back to MyOwnGallery of Superstudio, with my solo exhibition...”. “THE PIECE (PEACE) MAKER” it is not just an exhibition, but a celebration of “Underground Culture” by Milanese artist Flycat, an indisputable forefather of the first generation of Writing and Hip Hop culture in Italy.

SUPERSTUDIO MAXI: COUNCILOR MARAN

The new center is in the suburbs. “Over the past years, Milan city centre has been progressively expanding and thus many districts once regarded as suburbs feel to be a part of the transformation of Milan. We are lucky to live in a city that is not too big, and can be walked through. The constant collaboration between institutions and business ensures that many people can be part of the change. With the history of Superstudio the direction is obvious, let’s just think of how districts we live in have changed and contributed in the evolution of Superstudio. The challenge of Barona and Moncucco is probably the culmination of this issue, as it is a district that is already changing and will change more thanks to Superstudio Maxi, also because it is focused on young generations. These are the same purposes as the Municipality of Milan tha..

SUPERSTUDIO MAXI: COUNCILOR TAJANI

The importance of dialogue between the public and the private. “I thank Superstudio for sharing this risky business and courageous choice with the Municipality of Milan. It is the continuous widening of unique history remembering that Superstudio was the first to invest in a former abandoned industrial area, attracting new skills and scattering a viral experience such as the Fuorisalone. Once the success was achieved, this story did not stop, as often happens. The widening of Tortona district towards Famagosta is recognition and sharing of what the Municipality of Milan is doing to the suburbs. Thanks to Gisella they did not rest on their labels, and today Tommaso’s debut proves that the torch can be passed on to the next generation. I like to remember how Gisella and Tommaso came to present us the idea of Superstudio Maxi, in the pre..

SMART CITY 2019

On its third edition, Smart City is increasingly active and destined to grow in time.

Technology must communicate with humans and Smart City is a reflection on topics of the future, on how to live urban areas. However, it does not want to propose an example of a sustainable city such as the ones that already exist in various countries, but points out a “latin way” to smart cities. Therefore a city that adjust to change, but just like Italian design adjusted to times, besides being functional, it has ..

IS IT ART OR DESIGN?

How can we classify certain objects whose forms free from any constraint seem closer to sculptures or collector’s items than to mass-produced pieces of furniture? They are proposals of art-design, original pieces able by themselves to characterize a setting and able to talk about the person who has chosen them and uses them more than a thousand words. Their creators are often designers who have let their imagination run wild, choosing to produce one-off pieces or limited editions, or artists intrigued by the possibility of using their works in different ways.ISLAMOPOLITAN (UNITED ARAB EMIRATES)ISLAM+COSMOPOLITAN.
