BROKEN NATURE

The Museum of Modern Art

Celebrating design’s ability to offer powerful insights into the
key issues of our age, The Museum of Modern Art will present
Broken Nature in its street-level galleries. The exhibition will
highlight the concept of “restorative design” and present
objects and concepts that offer diverse strategies in the effort
to help humans repair their relationship to the environments
that they share - with other humans and with other species. A
collaboration with the Triennale di Milano, Broken Nature was
originally organized in 2019 as the main exhibition of the XXII
Triennale, with a curatorial team composed of Paola Antonelli,
Ala Tannir, Laura Maeran, and Erica Petrillo.

Featuring approximately 45 works -some of them new
acquisitions in the Museum’s collection and others loans -
drawn from the more than 100 in the Milan installation, the
MoMA chapter of Broken Nature will explore the complex,
interconnected systems humans inhabit, and the reparative
roles design plays within these systems.
