Loose ends

This exhibition by the Sicilian architect Maria Giuseppina Grasso Cannizzo is a radical intervention on the aut’s spaces and brings to light her attitude to architecture.

Inspired by Sicilian industrial landscapes with oil tanks, drilling rigs and hauling plants and taking into account the spatial characteristics of the aut, Maria Giuseppina Grasso Cannizzo develops a unique universe within which the visitors senses are addressed directly by hearing, smelling and seeing.

With “Loose Ends” the Sicilian architect, who has remained an insider tip despite having received numerous awards, has produced an exhibition that is a radical intervention and complex transformation of the aut’s spaces and brings to light her attitude to architecture.

Simultaneously the exhibition offers insights into the design process of this unique architect’s work who is one of the most interesting personalities in contemporary architecture: Minimal, self-confident and sometimes radical ideas that are always determined by a sensitive approach to space, material and light.

Accompanying the exhibition a monograph, which is a manifesto of Maria Giuseppina Grasso Cannizzo’s working methods, published by Lars Muller Publishers.
