Paola Antonelli: if you look at the world through design, you can never be bored

  • Summary

  • In this inaugural special live episode of Parola Progetto, recorded at Salotto in Brooklyn and presented in English, we are honored to host Paola Antonelli.
    As the Senior Curator of the Department of Architecture and Design at The Museum of Modern Art (MoMA) and the museum’s Director of Research and Development, Antonelli brings a wealth of experience and insight.
    During our conversation, we delve into her distinguished career at MoMA, discussing the dynamics of success and rejection, the evolving role of curating, and how museums function as research and development hubs for society. Antonelli offers her perspectives on technology, artificial intelligence, and the future of design, highlighting the critical importance of thoughtful analysis and cultural awareness in these fields.
