Silvia Infranco
Silvia Infranco is one of the artists who will take part in the fifteenth edition of Meccaniche della Meraviglia, a cultural event directed by Albano Morandi, which, although it will be held in the city of Brescia for the fifth consecutive time, intends to resume its relationship with the territorial realities that baptized it and in particular with the municipalities of Lake Garda that, back in 2003, opened the way to what is now considered the most interesting project dedicated to contemporary visual arts in our province: Puegnago del Garda, San Felice del Benaco and Moniga del Garda.
The artist will participate with the exhibition Silvia Infranco. In divenire, curated by Ilaria Bignotti, at the Museo di Scienze Naturali, Brescia.
Consisting of the artist’s most recognised cycles, characterised by slow and rigorous manual sampling, collection, stratification and processing of organic materials of plant and mineral origin, and completed by workshops involving the museum public, the exhibition in the Natural Science Museum, in collaboration with the gallery representing the artist, Marignana Arte, bears witness to the intensity and fertile generativity of the relationship between nature-science-art. It is an exhibition to reflect, connect and try out as yet unexplored aspects of the artist and the Museum, to approach art and nature with respect, in a close comparison with the objects on display and conserved in the museum and with the working methods that animate and lead the institution itself.
