Triennale Milano honors Germano Celant with Instagram live tribute

Triennale Milano hosted an Instagram live tribute to Germano Celant, the influential Genoese curator who recently passed away. The event opened with a message from Chiara Costa, a close collaborator at Fondazione Prada, who described Celant as a master and announced future study initiatives. The discussion featured Stefano Boeri (president of Triennale Milano), Hans Ulrich Obrist (artistic director of Serpentine Galleries), and artist Michelangelo Pistoletto, a longtime collaborator of Celant. They reflected on Celant's prolific critical and curatorial career, sharing biographical memories and debating art's role in society. The tribute was part of the Triennale Decameron series, a format inviting artists, designers, architects, intellectuals, musicians, writers, and journalists to share personal narratives during the pandemic.
