Gio Ponti and Nanda Vigo, Lo Scarabeo Sotto La Foglia, Malo, Italy, 1969. With works by #danielburen #janniskounellis with the crazy fur staircase by Nanda (image 1) in situ work by #enricocastellani (2) #raymondhains (3) #luciofontana and #castellani (4) #alainjacquet (9). The house from the outside published in Domus (10).
Designed by #gioponti (1891-1979) to be a vacation home that was never built. In May 1964, Gio Ponti published the detailed plans in the magazine #Domus , of which he was the founder and editor-in-chief, in order to offer them to the readers who wished to make the project their own. In response to this publication, Giobatta Meneguzzo, an Italian art collector and surveyor, contacted the architect to build the house in his village of Malo in northern Italy with his approval. In 1966, Giobatta Meneguzzo met #nandavigo during an art event in Verona and became friend with her. He invited her to design the interior of the house he wanted to make his main living space. With Gio Ponti's approval, she enlarged the space to meet the family's needs, creating a basement. The house was inaugurated in 1969 with a happening in which artists from the Living Theatre, the famous New York experimental theater group, participated.
