Workshop: Communicate the Book and the Paper. Conceiving, Organizing and Communicating an Exhibition.

Exhibitions are generally territory reserved for art historians and curators in the sector. The book and illustrated paper are, on the other hand, considered "minor" material and often lack professionals capable of showcasing them as they deserve. It is a mistake, because they tell stories of great cultural importance and have their own specific artistic value. The objective of the laboratory - closely linked to the theme of publishing - is to bring students closer to the path that starts from the conception of an exhibition on the subject, develops around its articulated organization and reaches the decisive aspect of communication, making them participate and aware of the whole process.

In the light of some significant "live" experiences - which the city of Milan in particular can offer - students will have the opportunity to get to know the machine and the "laws" that govern the exhibitions of illustrated books and papers.
