Alla Triennale di Milano c’è una mostra a puntate che indaga la casa tra intimità e crisi immobiliare
At the Triennale di Milano, artist Davide Stucchi presents "Temporary Rooms," a serial exhibition in the Impluvium space that transforms a single room—starting with a bathroom—into a micro-apartment. Over successive months, the same structure will be reconfigured as a kitchen, bedroom, and living room, using construction-site materials and surreal, dysfunctional furnishings (e.g., a toilet on wheels, a shower attached to an elevator button panel). The installation plays with inside/outside boundaries, echoing the nearby Casa Lana by Ettore Sottsass, while black-wrapped packages surrounding the room suggest future artworks and an urban skyline.
This exhibition matters because it uses intimate domestic space to comment on the housing crisis and the fragmentation of home in contemporary Milan. Stucchi’s blend of irony and tenderness—inspired by architect Corrado Levi—turns a bathroom into a refuge amid a chaotic real-estate market, while the "Surreal estate agents" (serpentine neckties) evoke biblical expulsion and financial anxiety. The project connects personal vulnerability with broader social pressures, making it a timely meditation on housing affordability and the meaning of home.
