Magazine accompanying the re-presentation of MoMA’s groundbreaking 1972 exhibition, Italy: The New Domestic Landscape and emphasized both the dynamic context of radical Italian design and architecture in the 1970s, as well as the innovative exhibition that first presented this work in America. Re-installing the exhibition at the Swedish Arkitekturmuseet (1/4 - 5/6 2011) was intended to revive the discussion on design’s and architecture’s explorative and critically discursive role in the shaping of society. Curated by Emilio Ambasz, Italy: The New Domestic Landscape showcased the forefront of Italian design and commissioned a series of experimental domestic “environments” and films by the most vibrant Italian architects and designers of the period. Utilizing a unique organizational method, works in the exhibition were separated into two distinct categories: Objects, subdivided into three groups - reformist; conformist; and contestatory - and Environments, divided into design as postulation; design as commentary; and counterdesign and postulation.
