Artist Residencies at Ca' Bianca

On the occasion of the first episode of Archivi d’Affetto, the Circolo del Design has invited four authors to reside in the house of Laura Castagno and Leonardo Mosso to tell and interpret their history, thoughts and poetics through the creation of their own unpublished works.
