By its very nature attentive to the various expressions of human creativity, MUSEC reserves six months of its programming for the exhibition ‘Man and Climate’, which opens the multi-location Festival of the same name. Curated by Gianluca Bonetti and Nora Segreto, the exhibition finds its reason for being in the awareness of the intimate relationship that art has historically had with the evolution of ecosystems and the landscape.
The MUSEC exhibition explores some particularly significant moments related to climate change that have marked human history. A journey back in time is thus proposed, leading from the current phase of global warming to the last ice age (between 110,000 and 11,700 years ago), i.e. the climatic period that saw the cognitive maturation of our species.
In the five rooms on the top floor of Villa Malpensata, it is the works of art that speak, selected as material expressions of the close relationship between mankind and the natural environments transformed by climate change. Since its origin, in fact, art has been configured as an exploration of both the external world and the inner dimension, in a journey expressed through symbols. Science stems from the same evolutionary process and shares with art the human capacity and need to elaborate abstract thought in order to represent reality, even in its most complex and sometimes invisible aspects. Art and science, after all, are two manifestations of the same culture, the human culture, of which the exhibition documents some manifestations, going back as far as the time of the mammoths.
