Curating art, narrating reality.
A place where creativity and research meet.
Here are our projects:
The Garden brings together works from several international artists at The Koppel Project, London, in a pop-up exhibition presented by Metronom.
Much like a garden, a space where different species coexist, the artworks create spontaneous connections through shared aspects of their research. Here, the dialogue between the human dimension and nature, identity and various plant organisms, urban environments and greenery finds different forms of expression.
In the work of Christto & Andrew (Christto Sanz – Puerto Rico, 1985; Andrew Weir – South Africa, 1987), nature is presented in its future version—or perhaps distortion—where plant elements are juxtaposed with traces of human society.
Elena Aya Bundurakis (Crete, Greece, 1988) immerses the viewer in microorganisms, depicting substances that are difficult to identify but capable of revealing the hidden aspects of living beings, their most unexpected yet intimate compositions.
Martina della Valle (Florence, 1981) creates vegetal architectures to reflect on the marginal areas of urban vegetation: the artist offers a fresh perspective on the city’s nature, unveiling new species that often go unnoticed.
Mark Dorf (Laconia, USA, 1988) explores the intersections between society, the digital domain, and nature. Focusing on the landscape as a familiar, habitable space, Dorf investigates its numerical translation through digital observers, proposing new, still-unexplored visions.
In the work of Sanna Kannisto (Finland, 1974), we find a naturalistic investigation of animal and plant species. Like a researcher, she offers scientific visualization while simultaneously creating a theatrical stage where birds and plants from the Finnish landscape—her homeland—become the protagonists.
Nature also takes center stage in the work of Tilo&Toni (a duo founded in 2015 in Siegen, Germany), showcasing its immense power and vitality. Drawing on conventions of German Romanticism, their photographic series reinterprets the relationship between man and nature through a contemporary lens.
