Coming to a close last August 31, the Biennial explored the themes of the wild as a creative dimension, multispeciesism as a trajectory of becoming, and mountains as a meeting ground through the participation of artists from various geographical areas of continental Europe and the Mediterranean, particularly from North Africa and the Middle East.

Through a selection of paintings, sculptures, video works, photographs, and drawings, the GAMeC exhibition path revisits the themes of the exhibition in Val Gardena, focusing in particular on the scope for cultural and political bridging between the Alps and the Mediterranean, deconceptualizing the idea of nature in favor of a narrative, existential dimension of the wild in the age of the “capitalocene.”

Produced over the past few years, the works presented in GAMeC’s Spazio Zero lead us into an extended geological and metamorphic time, in which geographic boundaries are lost and where seas, deserts and mountains rediscover their common origin, while ancient narratives, projected into the reality of our time, define new trajectories of meaning, interweaving reflection on origins with considerations on possible new forms of existence and cohabitation.
