The Fondazione Prada will present the exhibition curated by Germano Celant in dialogue with Thomas Demand and Rem Koolhaas from June 1 until November 3.

The project reconstructs "Live in Your Head. When Attitudes Become Form", an exhibition conceived and organised by Harald Szeemann at the Bern Kunsthalle in 1969, which went down in history for the curator's radical approach to exhibition practice.
