The MUSEC reserves six months of its programming for the exhibition "Man and Climate", which opens the homonymous widespread Festival. Curated by Gianluca Bonetti and Nora Segreto, the exhibition finds its reason for being in the awareness of the intimate relationship that art has historically had with the evolution of ecosystems and landscapes. The MUSEC exhibition explores some particularly significant moments connected to climate change that have marked human history. The goal is to highlight the preciousness and uniqueness of the climate in which we have been living for about 10,000 years, which has allowed the flourishing of civilization, thus contributing to promoting the implementation of the necessary measures to preserve it. Thus, a journey back in time is proposed, leading from the current phase of global warming to the last glaciation (between 110,000 and 11,700 years ago), namely the climatic period that saw the cognitive maturation of our species.In the five rooms on the top floor of Villa Malpensata, the artworks speak, selected as material expressions of the close relationship between humankind and natural environments transformed by climate change. Since its origin, art has been an exploration of both the external world and the inner dimension, in a path expressed through symbols. Science arises from the same evolutionary process and shares with art the human capacity and necessity to elaborate abstract thinking in order to represent reality, even in its most complex and sometimes invisible aspects. Art and science, after all, are two manifestations of the same culture, the human one, of which the exhibition documents some manifestations, tracing back to the time of mammoths.
