EXHIBITION SPACES

– THEME– EXHIBITION GRAPHICS– EXPERIENCING SPACE

Theme: MVRDV, Clothes house at Triennale milano, Casa per tutti, 2008

Theme: Triennale di Milano, Casa per Tutti, 2008

Theme: Atelier Brückner, La moneta dell' Italia unita, 2011

On the occasion of the 150th anniversary of the founding of the state of Italy, the Italian central bank Banca d'Italia is presenting this illustrious anniversary show, inviting the visitor on a varied parcours.

The sound-filled main area monetary unification, radiating a dignified gold, is determined by cube shapes. At the centre there is a three-dimensional sculpture onto which a specially designed 17minute film is projected. A detailed timeline, which features integrated exhibits encompasses the entire exhibition space. Individual, thematically

arranged media stations allow the visitor to become interactively immersed in history.

The space entitled Manufacturing Coins and Banknotes completely submerged in a deep blue colour provides an insight into the history of the minting and printing processes, whereas the treasure chamber, designed like a vault room, deals with the aesthetic qualities of coins that are important artistically as well as in terms of the history of Italy. In the futuristically designed space entitled Money today, the visitor can use an eleven metre-long media table to explore today's monetary networks

and find out about the current banking system: 17 different touch points serve as an invitation to call up the interactively processed contents.

We are living longer. We are decreasing in number. We are getting

more diverse. The exhibition "Zukunft leben: Die demografische

Chance" shows how the demographic change affects our lifes. It is

designed as a walk-in, unitized spacial installation. The modules have been designed as semi-transparent cubes, freely arranged in

space. An external, emotional narrative layer and precisely

prepared graphics, extending from the inside of the modules to the

outside, overlap each other optically. The colourful graphic

design elements and large-format portrait photographs (Uwe Ditz

and Annet van der Voort) contribute to the attractive three-

dimensional image, which introduces visitors emotionally to the

theme of the exhibition. In addition, integrated media stations

invite them to take part in a form of playful interaction.

Scenographic accents within the ensemble are the dance performance

"Kontakthof" by Pina Bausch, which is projected onto panels of

wrinkled fabric, thus giving concrete expression to the relevant

theme of aging. As well as there is a walk-in demography pyramid

that portrays 100 years of change in population growth and serves

as the sculptural starting point of the exhibition.
