SCULPTURE GARDEN: EXCHANGING LANGUAGES
The Sculpture Garden is one of the characteristic sections of Pinta PArC. Located outdoors at the main entrance of Casa Prado and curated by Max Hernández Calvo, the proposal explores the relationship between sculpture, architecture and green areas.
The Sculpture Garden is open to an imaginative and playful dialogue between the works of the participating artists and the physical characteristics of the site. It revolves around the concepts of post-landscape and post-nature, which reflect an approach to natural spaces that escapes the contemplative (the pastoral, the picturesque) to incorporate critical dimensions (the climate crisis, resource exploitation, pollution) and that assumes an intense exchange between nature and culture. In that sense, the works in this section imaginatively explore the relationships between sculpture, architecture and the green areas of the garden itself where they are presented.
