You Don’t Want Space, You Want To Fill It

For Milan Design Week 2022, Marsèll presents You Don’t Want Space, You Want To Fill It, the latest site-specific project by curator, designer and artist Matylda Krzykowski, at Marsèll Paradise, in Via Privata Rezia 2. Matylda’s project investigates the idea and perception of space in contemporary culture. Unsurprisingly, this is the first project to occupy the entirety of Marsèll Paradise, Marsèll’s multidisciplinary space in Milan, which continues to forge an experimental path between art and design. “For Marsèll, the idea of space has always been inseparable from that of encounter and contamination”, explains Loris Moretto, Head of Communications at Marsèll. “We have always considered our spaces to be places in which visitors can interact with different forms of creativity.” You Don’t Want Space, You Want To Fill It by Matylda Krzykowski, includes works by contemporary, transdisciplinary artists, designers, performers and musicians, who shift between the visual and performative, the natural and artificial, the human and animal, as well as between touch and sound. These practitioners include Phillip Schueller, Collo Awata & Delfiné, Lisa Ertel & Jannis Zell, and Mirka Laura Severa. The various shades of blue define the environment designed by Matylda alongside the collaborative artistic support of Miriam Wierzchoslawska. The space includes Matylda’s own works and objects from her home in Berlin. In light of this, Marsèll Paradise takes on a welcoming and domestic dimension, which expands and investigates the idea of exhibition space, inviting visitors to observe, interact, and relate to each other and their surroundings. You Don’t Want Space, You Want To Fill It will be held at Marsèll Paradise, in Via Privata Rezia 2, from 6 June to 15 July 2022.
