Lullaby to Rouse a Little Girl Exhibition

Mari Chordà (1942) and Bruno Munari (1907 – 1998) never met in the real world. Their works may well have drifted along different paths, with barely any conceptual or aesthetic connections. However, the pieces in this exhibition do share a common principle of having been created for play. Lullaby to Rouse a Little Girl is both an exhibition and a dream: the fantasy of recreating a historical encounter that never took place. As artists, Munari and Chordà took play to be a fundamental aspect of child development and used their works to bring art closer to a much younger audience, fostering their creativity, their emotional universe and their ability to interact with the world. They understood playfulness to be an essential tool for learning, also blurring the lines between childhood and adulthood. Their works are interactive materials that encourage us to play, experiment and, hopefully, to create something of our own.
