The seventh edition of the Furla Series program, Under the Sun, Beyond the Skin is a solo exhibition by Sara Enrico, the result of a collaboration between Fondazione Furla and GAM. The site-specific project, curated by Bruna Roccasalva, is being developed exclusively in the outdoor spaces of the Villa Reale garden for the first time, providing new scope for interaction between contemporary art, the natural landscape, and public spaces.
For the Giornata del Contemporaneo (Contemporary Art Day), a special guided walk leads visitors through the English garden of Villa Reale, designed by Leopoldo Pollack, amid winding paths, ponds, and rare trees such as the multicolored hackberry, Himalayan cedars, and magnolias, dotted with works by Adolf Wildt and Fausto Melotti. In this setting, Sara
Enrico’s exhibition Under the Sun, Beyond the Skin creates a “landscape within a landscape”: sculptures in concrete, fabric, glass, and iron that interact with nature and architecture alike, intertwining organic and artificial vitality. The exhibition winds its way through terraces, temples, and clearings, reflecting on the skin as a threshold, light as a generator of forms, and the cycle of life and transformation, in an immersive experience suspended between history and contemporaneity.
