A journey between art and science to listen to the voice of the ice that melts. The exhibition of Roberto Ghezzi in Copenhagen is turning the Arctic landscape into visual poetry and offers a powerful reflection on current climate change
The art that reveals the climate: the new exhibition by Roberto Ghezzi in Copenhagen
An artistic and scientific journey in the North Pole area tells the climate change Because of the living issue of nature. Roberto Ghezzi” Italian artist known for his research between art and scienceBrings a visionary project to Copenhagen. For years he investigates the Arctic area to investigate climatic changes through radical and poetic visual languages.
Ice becomes Language: Natural Protagonist of the Works
At the basis of the exhibition, an urgent question: Can IJs tell your end? Ghezzi responds with a project that intertwines art and scientific research. The exhibition can be visited Until June 6, 2025 all’Italian Institute for Culture of Copenhagen. An opportunity to immerse yourself in the powerful aesthetics of the nature that is being transformed.
A project shared between Italy and Denmark
Personally, it is written in the memorandum, was born from the collaboration between Italy and Denmark. The aim is to promote ecological reflection through a shared artistic science return. “To let the ice speak” It is the challenge of this project. It combines the scientific strictness of the National Research Council for the artistic sensitivity of Ghezzi, in a rare and precious synergy.
Arctic homes between Greenland and Svalbard
The works shown are the result of two artistic homes in the Polar territories. The first, in 2022 A TassilaqIn Groenland, in the Red House by Robert Pieroni. The second, in 2023 to Quargo Islandsin Norway, on Spitsbergen Artists Center.
Both experiences took place in collaboration with the CNR ISP – Institute for Polar Sciences. Researchers’ scientific contribution is fundamental Biagio Di Mauro one Fabiana Corami.
When ice creates the work: art generated by nature
In these extreme environments, Ghezzi made it nature “PAINT”. The melted ice has made an impression on his track and becomes a silent author. In Tassilaq he made cyanotypes of flooding. On the Almabard he mounted a video with films obtained by cameras dragged through glacial streams.
A revolutionary method: the artist disappears, nature speaks
Ghezzi limits his direct intervention. He carefully prepares the support and then lets water, air and ice be to create the work. The result is a natural track, not manipulated, that can also take scientific value. A report of nature, pure and authentic.
Visual documentation and field reflections
To complete the exhibition, a series of landscape cyanotypes and personal notebooks. They contain visual notes and thoughts of the artist who was collected during the trip. Not only works, but also testimonials. Art becomes a means to thehuman impact And about the transformations that we cause on the planet.
Art, science and dedication: the exhibition as a warning
“Greenland fades, art, science and climate change in the polar countries” It has been compiled by Mara preachers. The project for the contemporary Kunstpalazzo Lucarini Contemporary, Paper Mill Magnani Pescia and Phoresta Ets are sponsored the project.
An exhibition that is not limited to beauty. It is a silent cry launched by glaciers, collected by art and returned to the audience as an act of consciousness.
