Piero Gilardi: Nature Forever

Curated by Hou Hanru, Bartolomeo Pietromarchi and Marco Scotini, the exhibition showcases the 50-years career of the artist.

As the curators explain: “With over 60 works—from the famous Nature-carpets to the interactive installations and through to the Living Art Park of Turin, along with important pieces exhibited for the first time in years or reconstructed for the occasion—the exhibition reviews the career of a master for whom art and life are identified with and become militant commitment, starting out from that as an ecologist. An artist who is also a critic, researcher and political and social activist. For Gilardi, the artistic object goes beyond the purely aesthetic dimension: it is not made to be contemplated but experienced, shared and participated. And it is this interactivity that runs throughout the show.”
