Cellophane, Parco Studio’s reference archive

The exhibition composed of 1500 pieces of graphic design collected in over 10 years around Europe.

On February 15th 2018 we opened a gallery dedicated to what we love most: graphic design. It was born as Belli Gallery, after a couple of years it will join the new spaces of Parco Studio and become Parco Gallery.

The opening exhibition “Cellophane – A Reference Archive” is an exhibition-manifesto, investigating the contemporary scenario linked to visual culture and local and international communication.

Cellophane is a collection of paper and digital references curated by Emanuele Bonetti and Loredana Bontempi, made up of inspiring objects collected from 2007 to 2017. This collection develops a methodical and functional visual research to the project, linking a series of fortuitous encounters.

The archive is proposed as a fluid collection, of stimuli and suggestions also in contrast with each other, both paper and digital references. The exhibition is divided in two parts: a paper archive and a digital installation. The first collects materials from various cities, the work of graphic studios mixed with popular culture, and design ideas with memories and experiences. Then, the design references collected on the web re-emerge in a hypnotic flow.

Thanks to Francesco Cavalli of LeftLoft for the opening of the exhibition and the gallery, despite the snow and the crowds that surrounded it.
