Giardino di acclimatazione. In dialogo con la collezione d'arte della Posta Svizzera

Museo Villa dei Cedri, Bellinzona
14 settembre - 10 novembre 2024

As well as its museums’ collections, Switzerland boasts other significant public art collections that are less well known and comparatively inconspicuous. These include the Swiss Post collection, which goes back to the federal ordinance for the enhancement and promotion of Helvetic art and has existed for approximately 100 years. Swiss Post is celebrating its longstanding tradition as a patron of the arts by offering an insight into the numerous activities it undertakes, in collaboration with Swiss museums.

At Villa dei Cedri, the dialogue will focus on themes that are fundamental to the Museum's identity, such as the relationship between humanity and nature, the natural habitat of species, and acclimatisation: the need, that is, to adapt to a changing environment. From Félix Vallotton's Intimités to works generated in collaboration with artificial intelligence by Dorota Gaweda & Eglé Kulbokaité, the exhibition reflects – not without a certain irony – different responses to the need to yield to the conditions of life on earth and of technological evolution.

 

Curated by Carole Haensler and Diana Pavlicek.
