Martino Gamper at Wright
From the 14th through the 17th of May, Wright welcomed designer, innovator and mastermind Martino Gamper to Chicago. Gamper created a series of unique and functional pieces of furniture for Wright’s auction room utilizing cast-off shipping materials, crates, and discarded furniture and objects found in Wright’s warehouse. Part performance, part workshop, Gamper’s process welcomed experimentation, spontaneity and interaction: Gamper’s on-site studio was open to the public so that visitors could watch while he worked.

During the performance, this Wright microsite provided daily updates of Gamper’s performance using streaming video and photography, and the evidence of Gamper’s extraordinary project of Wright will continue to be available here.
