Running through June 9, the exhibition begins with the historical avant-garde, featuring emblematic works by iconic names such as Picasso, Julio González, Max Ernst and Wassily Kandinsky, and concludes with contemporary artists such as Ernesto Neto and Pamela Rosenkranz. The diversity of the collection encompasses not only traditional works of art, but also design products, architectural projects and experimental cinema, provoking reflection on the essence of nature and its intersection with human impact.

The exhibition is organized into four thematic chapters: Metamorphosis, Mimicry, Creation and Threat. Throughout the exhibition, the dialogue between nature, art, design and architecture is highlighted, showing how the natural world has inspired artists. From the intricate forms of leaves to the internal functionality of various organisms, the exhibition encourages an interdisciplinary dialogue. Despite the diversity of movements and periods, a common aesthetic thread emerges: the pursuit of natural forms. This exploration of the surrounding world forms a poetic narrative that unites the best works of the last century.

The exhibition is organized into four thematic chapters: Metamorphosis, Mimicry, Creation and Threat.

The first part of the exhibition establishes connections with renowned artists such as Picasso, Dalí, Max Ernst and Le Corbusier. The works, such as Julio Gonzalez's "Homme Cactus II" and Alberto Giacometti's "Femme égorgée" explore the relationship between the human body and the natural world.

The second part, Mimetism, delves into the essence of nature, illustrating how the different forms that compose it are interconnected. Artists and designers such as Alvar Aalto, Alexander Calder and Wassily Kandinsky have been juxtaposed with contemporary collaborators such as Andrew Kudless with his opera "Chrysalis III". It fosters a conversation that explores the parallels between the human body and plant forms, as well as the transformation of microbial behavior into animated art.

The third part, Creation, presents works directly related to nature, with Land Art and Arte Povera artists. Pieces such as "Spiral Jetty" by Robert Smithson, "Albero" by Giuseppe Penone and "Untitled (Structure that eats)" by Giovanni Anselmo are exhibited alongside works by more recent artists such as "Mesonic Fabrics" by Alisa Andreasek and "Globulocell" by Ernesto Neto.

The last chapter, Threat, confronts the impact of human activities on the ecosystem. Artists such as Pamela Rosenkranz highlight the consequences of the beauty industry in works such as "Skin Pool (Glen)," where dyed water simulates the skin colors promoted in advertisements. Tetsumi Kudo's "Pollution-Cultivation-Nouvelle Écologie" presents a dystopian perspective of a nuclear future, urging viewers to contemplate the possible consequences of their actions.

This exhibition not only celebrates the rich history of the engagement of art with nature, but also serves as a powerful reflection on humanity's role in shaping and, at times, threatening the delicate balance of the natural world.
