The two-part exhibition, guest curated by Margherita Dosi Delfini (Design Museum, London), unfolds across two architectural sites: Franco Albini's Villa Pestarini (Alcova) and an independent space in Certosa District. Presented by playinghouse, a nyc-based platform, the exhibition showcases over forty works by fifteen emerging artists and designers. Drawing its title from a two-seater table on display, tête-à-tête is a group show staging manifold conversations – not just between visitors, but between two different urban sites and histories, and their relationship with the present.

About
playinghouse
playinghouse is an art and design platform that explores the malleable intersection of the functional, the familiar, and the inventive. Cofounded by Angela Yang, Clara Leverenz, and Sophie Taylor, playinghouse presents installations both in-person at rotating pop-up locations and online, spotlighting the work of multihyphenate artists. The collective challenges the fixity of traditional art institutions in favor of the accessibility and flexibility afforded by changeable spaces and digital connection. Whether through performance or painting, sculpture or functional furniture, playinghouse strives to foster conscientious, communal, and caring looking.
