Naturecultures. Art and Nature from Arte Povera to today. From the Collections of the Fondazione per l鈥橝rte Moderna e Contemporanea CRT at Castello di Rivoli: a redefinition of the relationship with the world around us and its evolution characterises the exhibition on show at Binario 1 and 2 of OGR Torino until September 22nd 2022.
In parallel with other international artists active from the end of the 1960s of the last century, Arte Povera artists, many of them from Turin, investigated the reality of physical experience and channelled the invisible energy flowing through the world into their artworks. They used elementary techniques and common materials to bridge the gap between nature and culture. They achieved a bodily awareness of the sensitive world, and with their works they introduced the basic concepts of contemporary ecology. Sceptical of the acceleration of consumer society, they were aware of the need for a new environmental balance between humans and the world. They were optimistic, energetic, pacifists and anarchists. They transformed the very definition of Art through the merging of painting, sculpture, performance, film and photography into the more open notion of installation art 鈥� a space that can be traversed and experienced by the public.
