This exhibition was the subject of an organic design, which saw Milk Train involved in the design of the furnishings, in the curation and in the creation of the contents of the catalog. The client requested the preparation of a flexible display system, made up of easily moveable components, and capable of hosting various exhibitions and contents over the following months and years. The entire exhibition is made up of 15 mobile and self-standing modules, made by stacking timbers. Each “stack” is made in such a way that timbers alternate with as many empty spaces, in which it is possible to slide or reposition the artworks, guaranteeing maximum flexibility.
