Join renowned artist Giuseppe Penone in an intimate conversation with curator and art historian Hans Ulrich Obrist. As a key figure in the Arte Povera movement—which emerged in Italy in the late 1960s as a radical artistic response to industrialization, using humble materials to challenge traditional art forms—Penone explores the interplay between nature, time, and the human experience through his work. This discussion will explore the philosophy behind Arte Povera, his creative process, and how his practice bridges the natural world with sculpture and installation. Engage with the conversation to gain insight into this influential movement and its contemporary significance, particularly in addressing pressing environmental concerns.

Moderator: Hans Ulrich Obrist, Artistic Director, Serpentine Galleries, London

Introduction: Amir Berbić, Dean of Virginia Commonwealth University School of the Arts, Qatar
