On the occasion of the 2025 Milano Design Week and its twentieth anniversary, Mutina presents Being Mutina, a special project created in collaboration with artist and photographer Brigitte Niedermair, and curated by Helen Nonini.
The exhibition will take place from April 7th to 13th at Casa Mutina and Spazio Cernaia, while the Casa Mutina installation will be open for visits by appointment only until November 2025.
The curatorial concept revolves around the intention to offer a new interpretation of Mutina’s iconic collections, transforming ceramics into the protagonists of emotional and narrative spaces. Through twenty-four photographs and their corresponding installations, Niedermair explores the essence of ceramic material, creating an unprecedented dialogue between design and art.
The installation is divided among the spaces of Casa Mutina Milano, the garden and the loft of the adjacent Spazio Cernaia, creating a cultural journey that intertwines past and future, once again emphasizing the value of experimentation and innovation in the Mutina world.
The exhibition setup reconstructs the atmospheres of the rooms — some of which of remarkable dimensions — designed and used by the artist for her photographic work with a large-format camera, immersing visitors in a unique visual and sensory experience. The installation evokes emblematic artistic expressions from different eras, as well as the ambiance of imaginary cities.
