Mutual Aid. Art in Collaboration with Nature

Opening at the end of October, in conjunction with Artissima, is the first major exhibition project at the museum curated by Francesco Manacorda: Mutual Aid. Art in Collaboration with Nature. This exhibition involves artists who have been working on ecological issues and our relationship with the environment since the 1960s, leading up to the current climate crisis and theoretical developments around the Anthropocene.

The central element of the project highlights the relationship of genuine creative collaboration with the non-human by artists of different generations and cultures, starting with Arte Povera pioneer Giuseppe Penone.

The exhibition’s theme invites a reconsideration of the false division between nature and culture through research that also involves scientists, biologists, designers and architects.
