A glacier can disappear twice: first from the landscape, then from memory. 🧶🏔️ Inside the Manica Lunga of @castellodirivoli, Cecilia Vicuña’s monumental quipu does not simply occupy the space. It surrounds you, changes as you walk, and almost touches your body. While crossing El glaciar ido with curator @marcellabeccaria, a small fragment of wool landed on my clothes. I kept it, not as a souvenir, but as the trace of an exhibition that refuses to remain at a safe distance. In my new article, I explore how @ceciliavicuna connects the disappearance of glaciers with colonial destruction, Indigenous knowledge, the desaparecidos, ecological responsibility and the fragile transmission of memory. This is not an exhibition to photograph and leave behind. It must be crossed, heard, smelled and physically experienced.

Save the post and share it with someone who still believes art should do more than produce images. @lehmannmaupin #CeciliaVicuna #ElGlaciarIdo #CastelloDiRivoli #MarcellaBeccaria #ContemporaryArt #EcoArt #EnvironmentalArt #IndigenousKnowledge #Quipu #ArtAndEcology #ArtCriticism #TurinArt
