The volume is the catalogue of the 23rd International Exhibition of the Triennale di Milano (15 July – 11 December 2022) entitled Unknown Unknowns. An Introduction to Mysteries.
The exhibition is interdisciplinary and driven by the ambition to answer a series of questions about the ‘don’t know we don’t know’ in different topics: from the farthest reaches of the universe to dark matter, from the bottom of the oceans to the origin of our consciousness. A plural experience which involve designers, architects, artists, researchers offers an opportunity to upend our convictions.
The event is accompanied by two publications, the catalogue and a volume of essays (both with graphic design by the 2×4 studio in New York), presented as extensions of the curatorial gesture, as an exhibition ‘in’ and ‘beyond’ the exhibition.
The catalogue, in the standard editorial format of the Trienniale’s historical catalogues, presents the works and projects that made up the constellation of exhibitions and installations at the 23rd International Exhibition: the thematic exhibition, curated by Ersilia Vaudo, the two major exhibitions Mondo Reale (The Real World) and La Tradizione del Nuovo (The Tradition of the New), the international participations and a series of installations and projects compelling us to confront the unknown.
This dual publishing proposal provides visitors to the exhibition with a guide and a valuable tool for finding their bearings and understanding the full complexity of the era we live in.
