The exhibition Arts of the Earth offers a reinterpretation of the environmentally inspired art of the past decades. In addition to providing a new diverse multidisciplinary map of artistic forms, this exhibition also seeks to offer an inventory of tools, possibilities, and futures. Arts of the Earth adopts our current concern for the health of our planet, and specifically for the survival of soil as moldable, living matrix, as the cornerstone of a journey through artistic expressions crossing all geographies. It is an itinerary that connects artifacts made of earth, wood, leaves, roots, and plants—ancestral mediums that have once again risen to importance today—with the earthly interventions of recent decades that have come to be known as Land Art or Earthworks, including living anti-monuments erected in remote places, at times ephemeral, the marks of which we interpret today as prophecies of the Anthropocene.

The exhibition features a new installation by Delcy Morelos as well as works by Giuseppe Penone, Gabriel Orozco, Ana Mendieta and Giovanni Anselmo.
