Flora, Fauna & Cemento: 30 Artists Explore Landscape in Noto

At the Museo Civico di Noto, the exhibition 'Flora, Fauna & Cemento,' curated by Aldo Premoli, features over 100 pieces from 30 artists. This exhibition explores the landscape's dual identity as both a cultural fetish and a literary-artistic concept, while also highlighting humanity's role in ecological damage. Among the showcased works are Alice Valenti's structure made from recycled iron and LED lights, Ivan Terranova's video installation about the extinct Sicilian wolf (Canis lupus cristaldii), and Jano Sicura's sculptures located on the museum's staircase. The noble floor presents contemporary Sicilian art by artists including Alessandro Bazan, Andrea Di Marco, and Fulvio Di Piazza. The exhibition concludes with Giovanni Galizia's sculpture in the library's Belvedere, connecting to Article 9 of the Italian Constitution, which advocates for the protection of culture, biodiversity, and landscapes.
