Andrea Branzi returns to the Antonia Jannone Gallery with a new exhibition: a series of models resulting from his most recent research on the relationship between the modern metropolis and primeval technologies.

Architect designer, artists and writer, Andrea Branzi has, for years, been committed to in-depth research on the conditions of individuals within society. An anthropological theme that stems from the concept of reversibility of Darwin’s Law of Evolution and a return to an “animal” state of modern man.

Aware of the continuous evolution of mankind, Branzi’s research covers a vast span of time, from the study of megalithic civilizations to the ensuring that the studies are not considered in terms of the rationalist myth of the definitive project.

“The legacy of the twentieth century, its dogmas and its principles of ethics, are obsolete and useless; the twenty-first century presents itself with totally original and contradictory features, which need to be reflected upon in an exploratory way, without attempting to recreate a new orthodoxy, but rather a rarefied system of anarchic hypotheses and experimentation, more akin to an era like ours – experimental and anarchic”

Over the course of 2015 the exhibition will travel to major American universities: Harvard, Columbia, Berkely, Cornell/Ithaca, CCI (Canada), Princeton and Graham Fond.
