Marsèll Paradise honors art with two installations during Design Week

On the occasion of Milan Art Week, Marsèll's boutique in Via Privata Rezia, 2 will be host until the 11 of May two installations celebrating the indissoluble bond between art and fashion. Joining the presentation of the Venetian brand's new SS23 collection, works by German artist and composer Carsten Nicolai and American architect and editor of Pin-Up magazine, Felix Burrichter will colour the rooms of Marsèll Paradise, igniting profound discourses on the world, science, and creativity, while leaving room for visitors to take a closer look at the new designs.

Transmitter/Receiver, by Carsten Nicolai, is a project that investigates the meaning of the universe through the use light. Delving into the insecurities at the heart of the art and science worlds, the installation uses optical and auditory phenomena to investigate the aesthetics of the world around us. Originally created for the Haus der Kunst in Munich, Transmitter/Receiver is basically an electronic sculpture that makes use of a Geiger counter. With the radioactivity detector, in this case positioned on the roof of the Marsèll Paradise boutique, cosmic noise, or extraterrestrial particles, is recorded. The sculpture, or "machine," is then operated by Nicolai, to bring what is being analysed back to a human plane. This gives rise to a bouquet of sounds and visual experiences, a meeting of languages that reflect, according to Nicolai's artistic philosophy, the innate chaos of the universe. Pin-Up magazine editor Felix Burrichter, on the other hand, is showing CFGNY: Emporium, an exhibition conceived by the eponymous New York collective for which the creative director was curator. Aiming to serve as a multi-lateral experience, the show combines several features that have shaped CFGNY's past works by translating into clothing, design objects, architectural installations, ceramic sculptures and videos the media that have been the collective's preferred method of communication over the years. As the four founders of CFGNY explain, the show reflects, in a «vaguely Asian way,» the feeling of alienation shared by Oriental communities in America, making the spectators participate in a reality far away from theirs through visual languages.

Like these two installations, Marsèll's SS23 collection offers ample space for the protagonism of colour, taking inspiration from the luminous, yet subdued hues of the summer sky. The palette of Marsèll's new line, as well as the brand's stylistic codes, plays with the elements of nature and portrays their beauty, thus giving, thanks to these two collaborations, a special moment of encounter bewteen art and fashion in an authentic and gentle way, honouring the creativity of these visionaries in dialogue.
