design Passions Automatic Dispenser in Milan

DAP in Mantua

Pommefritz collective has been invited to take part into Box Shock, a project by Ronald Lewis Facchinetti, better known as ContainerArt’s art director.

Box Shocks is a network of contemporary art events that will be held throughout the month of October in Milan, Monza and Sesto San Giovanni: four curators, over 40 artists and 70 installations linked through an urban museum-labyrinth mounted in innovative city structures. Box Shock’s curatorial approach opens a new perspective on public and private musings: each work, happening or body concert is conceived for a precise space, an inner place planned and designed to isolate and protect the viewer at the moment of his/her aesthetic contemplation.

After its success at the Mantua Festival delle Passioni, Pommefritz collective will exhibit DAP (Passions Automatic Dispenser) again by placing it in the MuseoLabirinto special events @ Box Up Self Storage [Via San Maurizio al Lambro 1. Sesto San Giovanni – Opening: 17th October from 6 pm].

The beauty containers born with the experience ContainerArt don’t just enter cities’ art places. They also meet and consolidate in an archetypal figure: a cell structure MuseumLabyrinth of Contemporary Art with over 20 installations by artists and designers in order to lose your self and then meet yourself again through art. Facchinetti and his team of curators transform the interior of Self Storage Box Up in Sesto San Giovanni into a temporary labyrinth of installations which play both the role of Minotaur and that of Ariadne’s thread. Each box has one installation.

For the occasion, a true circus magician will read the photos discharged by DAP (Passions Automatic Dispenser), foreseeing the future of those who would have inserted a Euro into the dispenser. Take advantage and find out what fate has in store for you: don’t miss the opening and buy Pommefritz products!

designmusicsocialstreet art Daydreaming about Italy

Colosseum at Night, Rome, Italylightmatter / CC BY 2.0

Today I’m feeling a bit unfocused, I’m still in holiday-mood and I’m dreaming of all the places I want to visit and experience. I thought that having a look on the Go Find It map would help my daydreaming a bit. It sure did: the map is filled with so much stuff I wish I could do and see. I’d love to save up a huge amount of money and just travel the world. Clearly I won’t have the money to do this for a very, very long time but planning for the future is never wrong ;)

Italy caught my eye and I got stuck looking for places there, it seems like such a lovely country.

I would love to experience some Italian shopping (who wouldn’t?), this store is one I’d like to visit. Then I’d love to go to an art museum and also look at some of the street art Italy has to offer, this one seems quite nice, don’t you think? Finally I would have to have dinner, I love Italian food so I don’t think I would have a hard time finding a restaurant, but Fuori Luogo seems like a great place. Of course I would also have to try out the night life: Tunnel in Milan is probably a place I’d like since underground clubs is my thing.

Oh, lovely dreams, I better start saving straight away…
