Martino Gamper

Martino Gamper is an Italian designer, (b. 1971, Meran), whose practice challenges boundaries between design and visual arts and encompasses exhibition design, interior design, special commissions, and the design of products for the international furniture industry.

For "Sitzung", Gamper is working on a project that will allow engaging differently with the spaces of the Mittelhalle, suggesting a new approach to inhabiting public space, being welcomed, and feeling involved in the public realm. Gamper will create a series of new and only locally produced chairs that will be displayed, used, and moved throughout the spaces. However, the display will never be static and the chairs will be constantly reconfigured by the staff and the public during the run of the exhibition turning the Haus der Kunst into a social space — to gather, to rest, and to play. The reconfigurations will follow 100 thoughts that Gamper will deliver at the beginning of the project, suggesting a choreography that will transform the appearance of the whole space
two to three times a week.
