The nature of art

Hace unos meses os mostrábamos en el blog ‘Riverbed’, la última instalación del artista Olafur Eliasson en el Museo de Louisiana. En ella, Eliasson trasladó el río y su paisaje hasta las impecables salas blancas del centro de arte americano. Esta vez, el artista noruego Per Kristian Nygard ha llenado las salas de la galería NoPlace de Oslo de un gran paisaje verde. Pequeñas colinas llenas de hierba que nos demuestran que la relación entre arte y naturaleza vuelve a afianzarse en el panorama contemporáneo. Bajo el título ‘Not Red but Green’, Nygard sigue fiel a su trabajo anterior creando una instalación que, tal y como él mismo declaró, “no tuviera sentido”. La obra y sus declaraciones nos cuestionan de nuevo preguntándonos la gran pregunta artística: ¿cuál es la naturaleza del arte?

A few months ago we showed you in the blog ‘Riverbed‘, the last installation by Olafur Eliasson at the Museum of Louisiana. In it, Eliasson moved the river and its landscape until the crisp white walls of American art center. This time, the Norwegian artist Per Kristian Nygard has filled the the NoPlace gallery in Oslo with a large green landscape. Small hills full of grass that show us that the relationship between art and nature are consolidating in the contemporary scene. Titled ‘Not Red but Green‘, Nygard remains the same essence of the artist previous job creating an installation that, as himself said, it «make no sense». The work and his concept are asking us again the great artistic question: which is the nature of art?
