Non è vero che quel che conta è il risultato. Neppure per il design. Ciò che frega di più a un bravo designer, infatti, è il processo, la via accidentata e piena di buche che imbocca ogni volta che affronta un nuovo progetto. “Manifesto.” è una mostra che mette al centro il processo e in secondo piano i risultati. Riunisce in una stanza 13 poster contenenti 13 manifesti programmatici – alcuni già celebri, altri realizzati ad hoc – di 13 designer di fama internazionale. Sono dichiarazioni d’intenti, odi appassionate alla grafica, alla cultura di progetto e alla creatività.Passare in rassegna le opere di “Manifesto.” è come aprire la porta di alcuni degli studi che – da Amsterdam a New York, da Milano a Londra – hanno fatto la storia del design contemporaneo. È come aggirarsi tra le scrivanie, aprire i cassetti, spulciare nei desktop e nei portamatite. È come bersi un caffé con i loro guru, facendosi spiegare i principi fondanti e le ragioni ultime del loro lavoro.

ENG

To say that the end result is what counts is just not true. Not even in design. Rather, a good designer is more concerned with the process; that winding, potholed road he embarks upon every time he gets a new job. “Manifesto.” is an exhibition that leaves the final result to one side so as to focus on the creative process: 13 posters comprising the 13 personal manifestos of 13 renowned international designers are all brought together under one roof. Whilst some of these statements are very well known, others have been prepared exclusively for the exhibition: some are programmatic pieces of writing, some are detailed work manuals, all are passionate tributes to graphic design, creativity and the design culture. Walking through the works of “Manifesto.” is like opening the door to studios that – from Amsterdam to New York, from Milan to London – have contributed to the history of contemporary design. It’s like wandering around the desks, peeking in the drawers, rummaging through computer desktops and pencil boxes; It’s like having a coffee with their gurus, asking them to explain the basic principles and their ultimate goals.

Wonderful initiative!

Do you plan to release those manifestos in any form?

Manifestos are a powerful synthesis of ideas that I believe can make a change. At least it is much more meaningful to read a emotional manifesto than a technical and very political essay.
They should be more explored!
