Opis

Throughout modernity there has been a clear divide between art and commerce. Objects could either be consumed as commerce or contemplated as art. Today, as museums are facing increasing financial pressure and as stores have become inventive locations for the conception of new modes of display, this clear divide has shifted.

Recenzje

Emanuele Coccia and Donatien Grau′s insightful account of 10 Corso Como presents a model where multiple disciplines do not just sit side–by–side but blend together holistically under one roof. This is a compelling case study of a transitional and ever–shifting space that is wholly in tune with the rhythm and pace of our time.
Hans Ulrich Obrist, Artistic Director, Serpentine Galleries, London
