Grass – a cura di Flavio Scaloni

Una curatela di Flavio Scaloni, Gallery Manager presso Galerie Lo Scalo – The theme of The Grass—including lawns and wild varieties—is a potent artistic subject, symbolizing life, resilience, nature's quiet persistence, and the ephemeral cycle of growth and decay. Psychologically, it evokes feelings of comfort, domesticity (the lawn), and the vast, untamed wilderness. It's often associated with the contrast between human order and natural chaos. Famous contemporary artist Felix Gonzalez-Torres used artificial grass carpets in installations like "Untitled" (Public Opinion) (1991), turning a symbol of the natural world into a stark, conceptual form that addresses public space. The world-famous photographer Ansel Adams (1902–1984), though mostly pre-1950, established a precedent for monumentalizing natural textures; later photographers built on this, focusing on the intimate detail of grass, such as Sally Mann in her evocative landscape photography. This collection explores the grass motif as a ground, a texture, and a powerful symbol of our relationship with the environment.
