Pino Pizzigoni /// Claudio Nani House /// Parre, Bergamo, Italy /// 1964OfHouses guest curated by Pedro Dionísio (Elara Fritzenwalden): HYPERMINIMAL #33 The table arrangement«We work with arrangements, with the temporary array of elements.Our tables are an example of this arranged order. In the classical table layout, etiquette meant a rigorous and precise organization of plates, cutlery and glasses. The correct sequence of the courses of the meal, the tableware required for each type of food, the order for drinks… made up the rules of arrangement. Parties and banquets were the venues for freedom and improvisation in the center of the table.Nowadays, we do not follow these rules. Garnishes, salads, communal plates, assorted drinks all sharing the table, and at times, all of the food is on the table at once; we even help ourselves directly from the platters. But the initial setting of our tables is unaltered. Only providing its adaptability right at the end.There are open arrangements that ascertain this flexibility: some can be specific for each moment and type of food; or ambiguous; or formal like abstract sculptures; or arrangements where the tableware is displayed waiting for the diner to establish its definitive position, or disorganized; or arranged in a line; or simultaneous. Perhaps it is necessary to make a project for the table.»(Photos: © Gianluca Gelmini / cn10.
