Eighty years ago, in 1928, Gio Ponti founded Domus. On this anniversary we wish to remember and to focus on Gio Ponti's creative trajectory, without stooping to the celebratory and redundant rhetoric of commemoration.
We envisaged a special issue of Domus, which would be unique and one that can also in itself be considered a minor Pontian object. To realise that intention, we have brought in thirteen visual artists. They are, in strictly alphabetical order: Pablo Bronstein, Jeff Burton, Martino Gamper, Arturo Herrera, Mimmo Jodice, Luisa Lambri, Salvatore Licitra, Walter Niedermayr, Martin Parr, Lisa Ponti, Tobia Rehberger, Tom Sandberg and Francesco Vezzoli. These artists were asked to use Ponti as a pretext, as an infra- or sub-text, a corpus or signpost, for exploring the Pontian universe through contemporary eyes.
