Palazzo Strozzi reopens Aria, the major exhibition of visionary artist Tomás Saraceno

The major exhibition Aria by Argentine artist Tomás Saraceno (San Miguel de Tucumán, 1973) reopens tomorrow, June 1, at Palazzo Strozzi and will remain open to the public until November 1, 2020. The exhibition had opened on Feb. 22 and was later closed due to the health emergency.

The exhibition itinerary runs between the courtyard and the main floor and aims to create a dialogue between the Renaissance and the contemporary: from man at the center of the world, to man as part of a universe in which to seek a new harmony.

His creativity combines art, natural and social sciences and invites us to connect with non-human elements such as dust, insects or plants that become protagonists of his installations and metaphors for the cosmos.

“Carbon emissions,” Saraceno says, “fill the air, particulate matter floats in our lungs, while electromagnetic radiation envelops the earth. However, it is possible to imagine a different era, the Aerocene, characterized by a sensitivity projected toward a new ecology of behavior. Ecosystems must be thought of as networks of interaction within which each living thing evolves together with others. By focusing less on individuality and more on reciprocity, we can move beyond the consideration of the means necessary to control the environment and hypothesize a shared development of our everyday lives. Let the web guide us.”

A journey of immersive works and participatory experiences that lead to the discovery of the visionary and multifaceted artist.

Admission is limited and quotaed, so online reservation is recommended(at this link). All security measures for visiting the exhibition here .
