The Dreamer Of The Forest
Drawing on multiple sources - poetry, philosophy, science - "The Dreamer of the Forest" crosses eras, media and genres. The exhibition brings together almost a hundred works by some forty artists. Thanks to exceptional loans from museums, private collections and artists, it sheds new light on Ossip Zadkin's work, the characteristic living materiality of his sculptures and their organic connection to the forest. Autobiographical, the title refers to the sculptor, to his intimate attachment to the forest.
The exhibition questions the fascination made of the mixed fear and enchantment that the forest arouses in the common imagination. Refuge of the living, the wild, the sacred, the wild world represents what escapes the human endeavours of domestication and rationalization of the world; what pre-exists and will survive them.
In a context marked by the rise of environmental and ecological concerns, this project engages in anthropological and artistic reflection around a theme that has given rise to many masterpieces since the beginning of the industrial revolution, and which remains of burning relevance among contemporary artists.
