The Venue
The work is part of the redevelopment of Lungarno Serristori, in the frame of the project RIVA, artistic director Valentina Gensini: a research based program on Arno river that involves artists, architects, curators, cultural operators and institutions in planning and implementig the river park. Studio ++ has created an Italian garden “in negative”. Inspired by the Third Landscape by Gilles Clément, the grass is mown tracing in the grass the lines of an italian garden, characteristic of the Medicean villas. These simple, subtractive yet significant action teaches us to look differently at the variety offered by the ecosystem of the Arno river and to admire the beauty of wild plants.
