1000 VASES EXPO-FONDAZIONE SOZZANI -10 CORSO COMO

000 VASES into the blue On the occasion of Miart and Milan Design Week 2023, 1000 VASES presents at Fondazione Sozzani the exhibition 1000 Vases: Into the blue. An out-of-the-ordinary exhibition demonstrating how fantasy can work endlessly on a single subject, and how beauty can take the most varied forms through different techniques and materials: 1000 VASES presents unique pieces made by hundreds of independent designers from over 60 countries, in an extraordinary journey around the world united by the design of a small yet fundamental object. The collection of a large number of vases allows the quantity and diversity of works to speak for themselves, through a simple and harmonious scenography that enhances their originality. Tribal, minimal, pop, sculptural, elementary, complicated, sophisticated, purist, fun, sinuous, geometric, and irregular forms coexisting side-by-side, thus highlighting the originality of each object. 50 artists from across the globe have been invited to apply their interpretation of the blue color to their one-of-a-kind vases, created especially for this occasion. Since 2018, 1000 VASES has held several exhibitions each year in Paris with a scenography signed by Hervé Sauvage, as well as collaborating with French fashion label Jacquemus for its 10-year anniversary event. In 2019, the exhibition traveled to Dubai for Art Week. In 2021, Volume I of the 1000 VASES book, featuring one thousand vases from its family of exhibiting artists, was published by Skira Editore with an Art Direction by Pier Paolo Pitacco. Since September 2021, 1000 VASES has held exhibitions in Milan every year during Salone del Mobile. Fondazione Sozzani was established in 2016 by Carla Sozzani and is dedicated to the promotion of culture through photography, fashion, the fine arts, and applied arts. The Foundation has assumed the patronage of Galleria Carla Sozzani and continues all relevant public functions that the Gallery has supported since 1990.
