demo station: Circolissimo – Go See / La Couture

Circolissimo presents "Go See / La Couture".

Associazione Circolissimo partners with Archivio La Couture and with UPPER - a collaboration with Comune di Milano / Scuola dei Quartieri - to presents “Go See / La Couture” an interactive performance merging live sound with the art of the lookbook. The activation invites the audience to become a part of the archive’s living history by modeling select accessories from the collection, contributing to the creation of visual material for a catalogue and social media. Participants will engage in a guided styling process, walking away with professionally captured portraits. The experience is enhanced by a live sound performance by Leonardo Persico, founder of the archive.

The event takes place on Rirkrit Tiravanija’s installation untitled 2026 (demo station no. 9). The stage-like structure invites people to “demonstrate” something. The combination of the words demo and station in the work’s title refers respectively to the abbreviation of demonstration—understood both as a protest and as a presentation of someone’s talent or hobby —and to station, that is, an accessible place where such “demonstrations” can occur. For the duration of the exhibition, the installation provides a space for daily public activations.
