Domus' Arch and Art project at Triennale Gardens sparks plagiarism accusations
At the Salone del Mobile, 'Arch and Art' was launched by Domus magazine, under the direction of Nicola Di Battista, at Milan's Giardini della Triennale. This initiative showcases ten architects collaborating with ten artists to design mobile, scalable structures. Commissioned by Assolombarda Confindustria Milano Monza e Brianza and produced in partnership with La Triennale di Milano, the exhibition will continue until September 2016. Notable pairings include David Chipperfield with Michelangelo Pistoletto and Michele De Lucchi with Enzo Cucchi. The project bears similarities to 'Parco Nomade', a nomadic art park in Rome, curated by Achille Bonito Oliva, which features artists like Carla Accardi and architects such as Eduardo Souto De Moura, raising concerns about originality due to the shared participants and themes.
