LOADED
Spazio Rossana Orlandi, via Matteo Bandello 14-16
12-17 April (9-21 hours)
Emerging designers from the School of the Art Institute of Chicago (SAIC) will present new work
at Spazio Rossana Orlandi. Their exhibition, Loaded, is the result of an intense two-semester
design studio directed by Helen Maria Nugent and Jim TerMeer, both professors in the
department of Architecture, Interior Architecture, and Designed Objects (AIADO) at SAIC.
Loaded explores the ways in which an object’s value is essentially fluid – continually shaped by
our global systems of trade, by real or man-made states of scarcity and abundance, by cultural
ideologies, and by human desires.
