The program of meetings Artists at Villa Borghese. Series of meetings on Art and Nature, promoted by the Capitoline Superintendence of Cultural Heritage, is hosted in two evocative places within the most famous public park in the city: the Casino dell'Orologio - Salone del Pergolato and the Carlo Bilotti Museum - Orangery in Villa Borghese.
The event focuses on contemporary artistic culture, with particular reference to the artistic and naturalistic heritage of the historic urban villas; the invited artists, starting from the themes of Art and Nature, through their languages, aesthetics, styles and personalities, propose a new key to understanding the artistic, historical and naturalistic heritage of the historic Villas, through a different point of view, that of art. Among the main topics addressed there is undoubtedly also that of the environment, increasingly associated with the risks of the planet and climate change.
An unusual cultural perspective therefore, with which artists are invited to dialogue and engage with scholars, scientists and art critics, on different communication levels such as interviews, video installations, slide shows, art actions and conferences.
The program of meetings, all in the afternoon (5.30pm-7.00pm) and curated by Claudio Crescentini, is free entry while places last.
