‘Napoli Super Modern’
S AM Swiss Architecture Museum is showing the exhibition 'Napoli Super Modern' from 12 May to 21 August 2022. An exhibition by LAN and the S AM Swiss Architecture Museum with Cyrille Weiner and Bêka & Lemoine.
Everyone seems ‘to know’ Naples, even those who have never been there: its setting, its sounds, its people, its tastes, its informality and, not least, its stories, shaped by the fervour with which the inhabitants live this city. As numerous as these narratives are reproduced in literature, music, or film, countless stories about eras, styles, and uses also overlap in the city's architecture.
The exhibition ‘Napoli Super Modern’ is curated by LAN (Benoit Jallon und Umberto Napolitano) and by Andreas Kofler, S AM Swiss Architecture Museum.
The exhibition takes place under the patronage of the Italian Consulate in Basel.

Naples was and is a city made for cinema. Stadtkino Basel, together with S AM Swiss Museum of Architecture, are presenting a special glance at this vibrant city. The program, curated by Salvatore Aprea and Barbara Tirone, shows the people who form Naples and lets us explore this exceptional place through the eyes and feelings of its protagonists.
