MUSE - Museo delle Scienze, Trento, Italy
Group exhibition | 27 July - 17 November 2024
17 artists and their works in dialogue with scientific content.
Two museums come together to tell the story of health and connection with nature through art and science.
Art and science forging a new alliance with nature. The Mountain Touch offers visual stimuli of an artistic nature and at the same time presents a series of current issues and scientific research relating to the positive and negative implications of the relationship between man, mountains and nature in the broadest sense.
All the works in the exhibition are related to the mountains and to nature in general, some in a more direct and iconographic way, others in an indirect way, but still closely related to the theme that the exhibition explores and deepens.
The exhibition stems from a series of insights that have emerged in relation to the ongoing climate crisis and the pandemic period. In response to the loss of biodiversity and the progressive degradation of the natural environment, there is a growing awareness that our physical and mental well-being is closely linked to that of our planet.
The exhibition attempts to provide an overview of the main research topics and raises a number of questions, such as how the ongoing environmental degradation may affect our health, or how ecotherapy can be used to cope with eco-alienation. Temporary exhibition curated by Andrea Lerda, based on a project by the Museo
Nazionale della Montagna (National Mountain Museum).
