Atelier Biagetti's 'GOD' Exhibition at Salone del Mobile 2017
Atelier Biagetti, the duo of Alberto Biagetti and Laura Baldassari, presented their limited edition collection 'GOD' during the 2017 Salone del Mobile in Milan, curated by Maria Cristina Didero. The exhibition provocatively equates God with money, using design objects like a marine compass marked with '{{SUMMARY}}#39;, a seating piece shaped like a gold ingot, and a tabletop resting on a supermarket turnstile. This ironic, kitsch exploration follows their previous shows 'BODY BUILDING' (2016) and 'SEX' (2015), forming a trilogy that critiques fetishistic consumerism and artificial paradises. The installation was guarded by two police officers, underscoring the taboo nature of the theme. Atelier Biagetti's work challenges religious and social taboos, reflecting a world of inverted values.
