The Grand Design Tour in Bologna during Cersaie 2007
Once again, on the occasion of the forthcoming Cersaie, DesignTaleStudio has programmed an event in which ceramic, art and design blend in a mutual creative language. A travelling “fuorisalone” during which some of the most important art galleries in Bologna will showcase the slabs designed by Elio Fiorucci, Karim Rashid, Michele De Lucchi, Peter Halley, Lucio Dalla and Sandra Bermudez for DesignTaleStudio: a great tour in the heart of the city on the quest for design. In essence, the “Grand Design Tour”.
Six galleries are involved in the event: Otto Gallery, Galleria d’Arte Maggiore G.A.M, Trimarchi Arte Moderna, Galleria Forni, L’Ariete Artecontemporanea, Galleria Stefano Forni. “Director” of the event, as last Spring for Design On Stage, is the architect Laura Villani; the initiative is supported by Ascom and the Associazione Gallerie, Bologna. The grand opening will take place at 3, Piazza Maggiore, on October 3, 2007 at 5,30 p.m. with a special surprise guest.
We on the blog will play our part in the event by letting you know in advance about the details of the initiatives, the art galleries and letting you in on some sneak previews; of course, we will be “in tour” too, ready with microphone and camera to capture the crucial moments of this three-day event, which already is promising to be really unique. Meanwhile, if you wish to receive an invitation and to have a front row seat, you can do so, as usual, in the Contribute section.
The Grand Design Tour is waiting to take you away… come on, climb aboard.
