In a new exhibition at the Triennale Milano that opened on May 12, the idea of domesticity is explored through a series of conceptual future proposals that maintain an eye on the past. Home Sweet Home, curated by Nina Bassoli, is located on the first floor of the Giovanni Muzio-designed Palazzo dell’Arte in a long, curved gallery where site-specific immersive installations and presentations of historical materials together generate a discussion around changing notions of the domestic.
