Curated by Max Hernández Calvo
The Sculpture Garden is based on the concepts of post-landscape and post-nature, which reflect an approach to natural spaces that escapes from the contemplative (the pastoral, the picturesque) to incorporate critical dimensions (the climate crisis, the exploitation of resources, pollution) and that assumes an intense exchange between the natural and the cultural. In this sense, the works in this section imaginatively explore the relationships woven between sculpture, architecture and the green areas of the garden where they are presented.
In this new edition, the galleries participating in Pinta PArC were invited to present artistic proposals that revolve around the curatorial concepts proposed by Max Hernández Calvo to participate in this section.
The Sculpture Garden will be located outdoors at the main entrance of Casa Prado.
