Stefano Boeri unveils new team for Triennale Milano with international focus

Triennale Milano president Stefano Boeri, alongside mayor Giuseppe Sala, announced a completely restructured leadership team during a press conference. The institution aims for a more international outlook, with Sala emphasizing competition with Japan, Africa, and the US rather than Rome. Carlo Morfini, a manager with experience in fashion companies like Arcadia Spa and Borbonese, was appointed Director General for a four-year term. Lorenza Baroncelli, architect and former urban regeneration assessor for Mantua, becomes curator for Architecture, Urban Regeneration, and City, effectively serving as artistic director. Joseph Grima, former Domus editor and creative director of Design Academy Eindhoven, will curate Design, Fashion, and Craft. Myriam Ben Salah, Tunisian curator who worked at Palais de Tokyo and curated the Abraaj Group Art Prize, will handle Technology, Photography, and Video. Silvana Annicchiarico was confirmed as director of the Triennale Design Museum, and Umberto Angelini was reconfirmed for Theater, Dance, Performance, and Music. Edoardo Bonaspetti, visual arts curator, was not reconfirmed. The new structure reflects Boeri's vision of architecture as a broader creative field, with no dedicated contemporary art curator, as Boeri considers institutions like Hangar Bicocca and Fondazione Prada already cover that area.
