Castel Belasi – Center for Contemporary Art for Eco Thought is pleased to announce the opening of a new exhibition inspired by the European politician Alexander Langer, a reflection on environmental issues through the sensibilities of artists from the Alpine nations of Austria and Switzerland. The exhibition “Nature | Feeling | Form What if Susanne Langer would meet Alex Langer?” features eighteen artists with over twenty works, primarily sculptures and installations, but also video and two-dimensional works, photographs, paintings, and textiles.
The exhibition's creator, Riccardo Lisi, who co-curates it with Lukas Willmann, Austrian, asks, «How is nature perceived by artists today? The impression is that almost no one has direct, primordial experience of it, as was the case for generations even recently—with an education developed through connections with the countryside, far more useful than many discourses. Nature is stretched between utilitarian reasoning and its opposite, that is, a perception in almost decorative terms, both partial and harmful positions, always anthropocentric.»
