For those who haven't yet heard, last week La Triennale di Milano, Italy's premier institution for architecture, design and the arts, announced they will open the Triennale di Milano New York in September of this year. Taking up nearly 20,000 square feet in midtown Manhattan, the multidisciplinary space will hold exhibitions and special events as well as a bookstore, shop, espresso bar, and guest-curated restaurant.
"Triennale New York will bring the essence of Italian identity to New York City," said Davide Rampello, President, La Triennale di Milano "We will try to represent the extraordinary qualities that are the hallmark of Italian ingenuity, industry and culture."
The entire space has been designed to be flexible and will utilize the latest interactive information and exhibition technologies in order to accommodate artistic programs, meet high-quality museum standards, and host a series of talks, special programs, and social and cultural events.
"La Triennale has, for many years, been a place at the center of international, Italian and Milanese debates and culture. Triennale New York will allow us to bring this dialogue--through examples of Italian culture in all its many forms--to New York, as well as into contact with wider global trends and discourse."
