PARTIAMO DALLA COLAZIONE A JUPITER ARTLAND COFFEE
In questa pagina presento Jupiter Artland, Edinburgh, attraverso le fotografie che ho scattato durante la visita. Alcuni artisti mi hanno particolarmente colpito per la loro capacità di raccontare in un’opera il loro rapporto con il presente e con le contraddizioni che ci attraversano. L’ambiente e l’infanzia, il silenzio e la dimensione cosmica, l’interconnessione della vita e della natura. Infine la danza e la presenza di una mostra sulla coreografa e danzatrice Trisha Brown hanno reso ancora più intensa e completa questa mostra a cielo aperto.
Jupiter Artland is a contemporary art and sculpture park and art gallery located on a large 100-acre piece of land outside of Edinburgh.
Founded in 2009 by philanthropist art collectors Robert and Nicky Wilson, Jupiter Artland has grown into one of Scotland’s most significant arts organisations and was nominated for ArtFund’s Museum of the Year in 2016. Set over 100 acres of meadow, woodland and five indoor gallery spaces, Jupiter Artland is home to 35 permanent site-specific sculptures from artists including Phyllida Barlow, Charles Jencks, Anish Kapoor, Cornelia Parker and Antony Gormley, as well as a seasonal programme of exhibitions and events.

“Her sculptures are faithful representations of fantasy with sometimes bitter sweet and menacing qualities mixed with tenderness. She uses humour and an acute observation of the human condition to engage with wider social and political issues. Her work is intensely crafted but playful, and she has used a range of media to realise her work including, drawing, painting, performance, set design and has increasingly taken on the challenge of public art alongside museum and gallery shows.”

“Secondo me, l’arte non è fatta di oggetti con alto valore di scambio. Si tratta di una riaffermazione delle nostre esperienze di prima mano nel tempo presente. Come diceva John Cage, “Non ci muoviamo verso una specie di obiettivo, Noi siamo l’obiettivo, che cambia con noi.”

Ian Hamilton Finlay
“The art of Ian Hamilton Finlay is unusual for encompassing a variety of different media and discourses. Poetry, philosophy, history, gardening and landscape design are among the genres of expression through which his work moves, and his activities have assumed concrete form in cards, books, prints, inscribed stone or wood sculptures, room installations and fully realised garden environments.”
