Après o n a i des études d’art à l’académie des beaux-arts z a r de Milan (1952-1956), il se fait remarquer pour G o t ses recherches dans le domaine de la o h p scénographie et de l’édition pour enfants. , i r a L’origine de son travail de designer se confond M avec ses recherches artistiques, au sein de la o z n mouvance de l’ « Art programmé », réunie par E Umberto Eco en 1962 au showroom Olivetti à Milan, où Enzo Mari partage l’affiche avec Bruno Munari et les membres des groupes N et T, tous deux fondés en 1959. Enzo Mari est souvent présenté comme la « conscience politique du design contemporain ». En effet, il applique au design des méthodes de travail expérimentées dans les univers artistiques, artisanaux et industriels, qui visent à la libération de l’individu et à la lutte contre le travail aliéné. Depuis le début des années 1960, il a ainsi inventé quelques-unes des plus marquantes icônes du design contemporain, dont la Box Chair (à assembler soi-même), la coupe Putrella (une poutre métallique cintrée), le vase réversible en plastique Pago Pago, le puzzle en bois 16 animali, la série de vases en tubes PVC de plomberie Bambu, ou encore le calendrier perpétuel Formosa. Une grande partie de sa production a été éditée par la firme italienne Danese qui, avec des projets signés exclusivement d’Enzo Mari, de son mentor Bruno Munari, et d’Angelo Mangiarotti, a révolutionné les rapports entre l’art et le design à la charnière des années 1960. En 1963 Mari a exposé ses œuvres à "Nouvelle tendance" à Zagreb et Milan, et en 1964 à la 2 Biennale de Venise. En 1965, ses recherches optiques ont été montrées au MoMA de New York, dans le cadre de « The Responsive Eye », aux côtés de Ellsworth Kelly, Heinz Mack, Agnes Martin ou Bridget Riley. Toujours au MoMA il a participé en 1971 à l’exposition mythique « Italy: The New Domestic Landscape ». En 1974, il a introduit à la Galleria Milano, sous le titre « Proposta per autoprogettazione », un projet qui a fait date dans l’histoire du design. Il s’agit en effet d’un véritable manifeste visant à révolutionner le monde de la production et de la distribution de mobilier : Mari propose de donner aux particuliers un accès direct aux plans constructifs d’une série de meubles facilement réalisables par tous, à l’aide de planches standard et de matériel de bricolage usuel (marteau, scie, clous et colle). Ces plans, distribués gratuitement pendant l’exposition, furent ensuite proposés sous forme d’un livre. Initiateur de la mouvance programmatique et « Do It Yourself », ce projet sera repris sous forme d’exposition collective par Hans Ulrich Obrist, sous le titre « Do it », à de multiples reprises à partir du milieu des années 1990. Enzo Mari a également enseigné le design à l’université de Parme et à l’école polytechnique de Milan, ainsi qu’à la Hochschule der Künste de Berlin, et la Hochschule für angewandte Kunst de Vienne. Plusieurs de ses créations sont conservées dans les plus grands musées d’art et de design internationaux, dont le MoMA de new York et le Musée national d’art moderne, au Centre Pompidou à Paris. Au cours de sa carrière, il a été distingué par quatre prestigieux « Compasso d'Oro », en 1967, pour la qualité de sa contribution à la recherche en design, et en 1979, 1987 et 2001 pour plusieurs de ses réalisations.

Starting from the background of the debate on the new dimension of the archive (especially the one focused on the relation between art and design practices and the archive), the article will focus on a specific context as the one of design archives which have been in recent years particularly vivid realities. Focusing on designer’s archive (in between the broader system of design documentation), and through a case study such as CSAC of Università degli Studi di Parma, we will examine how these archives are not merely repositories of drawings and how they can be connectors for creative industries, through exhibitions and other programs. In the second part of the article, we will focus on three exhibitions devoted to design which are expressions of a huge patrimony organized in structured archives, analysing different curatorial practices and narratives paradigms. In these cases, design exhibitions are ‘active’ representation of design archives.

  • The “Supersalone” Open Talks: Opportunities for Discussion, Dialogue and Inclusion in Order to Draw up a Roadmap for Design in the Near Future
    The “supersalone” Open Talks: opportunities for discussion, dialogue and inclusion in order to draw up a roadmap for design in the near future Creatives, innovators, entrepreneurs, artists and politicians will bring their invaluable ideas and experiences to the Open Talks at “supersalone” curated by Maria Cristina Didero. In a bid to (re)build a world we want to live in (for the better). We live in transitory and unstable situations that call for constantly changing solutions. It becomes manifestly clear that only by discussing the present – together, blurring the lines between disciplines and looking ourselves squarely in the eye again – can we build a (hopefully) better future. This is the hope and the aim of the talks, lectures and conversations that will bring the six days of supersalone at the Rho Milan Fairgrounds alive. A programme put together by Maria Cristina Didero will focus on the great contemporary issues with which design, art, architecture, education, gender, the circular economy, environmental impact, the relationship between project and curation and much more besides have to contend. These debates will fuel the imagination, heart and mind with words – well-informed words, obviously – that will help us reflect on the fragility of our planet and on how creativity, research, knowledge and inclusion can enable us to get through this difficult period in history. In the stunning setting of the arenas, the Open Talks will throw open the floor to the masters of today and tomorrow. The general public will have an opportunity to meet not just internationally renowned architects and designers, but also artists, chefs, intellectuals, politicians and businesspeople, who will discuss their own experiences in a multidisciplinary, holistic and kaleidoscopic approach.

Born the son of an artisan in Navara, Italy, Mari forwent high school and college entirely, working instead as a street peddler. Inhe enrolled at the Brera Academy of Fine Arts, where he studied painting and sculpture before settling on stage design as his focus. He began designing objects in earnest in the late s; among his best-known creations from this time are the wooden 16 Animals puzzle he designed for Danese in The following year, he created the Putrella tray from a bent raw-metal industrial beam for the manufacturer. Like many of the objects he would design over the ensuing sixty years, these items are still in production today. Affordability was Enzo Mari/Hans Ulrich Obrist abiding concern for Mari, a lifelong Marxist whose main interest lay in creating elegant, functional objects from low-cost materials whenever possible. A study in contradictions, Mari designed not with the consumer in mind, but rather the factory worker producing his objects, whose job he wished to make as easy and pleasing as possible; Mari continued to work in this vein in recent years even though this imaginary every-worker was well on his way to becoming obsolete, a victim of automation and technology.
