This exhibition brings together for the first time since 1972 the entire set of films produced for the original exhibition in MoMA

The exhibition ‘Italy:The New Domestic Landscape’, curated in 1972 by Emilio Ambasz at the MoMA in New York. Informed by its own systems design logic, the exhibition encountered the dynamic and complexly political italian design context of the early seventies.

The current exhibition “Environments and Counter Environments: Experimental Media in ‘Italy: The New Domestic Landscape’, MoMA 1972” brings together for the first time since 1972 the entire set of films produced for the original exhibition.
The related design documents show a range of attitudes toward the conception and theoretical imperatives of the environments themselves and in this respect the current exhibition encounters again medias and environments and their potential for thinking anew the boundaries of architecture, domestic spaces, their conditions and territories.
