What is Ornament Guided Tour
Culturgest
–
by the curators Ambra Fabi and Giovanni Piovene. In English.
Guided tour of the exhibition What is Ornament?, pointing out the ambivalent character of ornament and its omnipresence in the history of architecture. Between repulsion and excess, the ornamentality of constructive elements reflects the cycle of ascetic modernism, postmodernist rhetoric and ambivalent mannerist movements. And what is the contemporaneity of ornament? Is there a risk of trivialization by technological musing?
