- Summary
- In a spectacular layout involving fifteen monumental installations and sculptures spread out over the Boboli Garden and the city of Florence, Xhixha explores the concept of chaos and order, his work a tribute to the way in which these concepts have been addressed down the ages not only in philosophy and in the arts but also in the natural world.0Their surfaces glistening like mirrors, the works merge into their surroundings environment, pursuing a sophisticated intellectual and aesthetic investigation and offering a new take on the theme of the interactions between art and nature that was so close to the Medici family?s artists, who interpreted it with spectacular fountains and mesmerising grottoes in those centuries.0Eight of the fifteen sculptures on display have been created expressly for this exhibition, including Order and Chaos, Helium and Neon, on display in the Ampitheatre in Boboli. Knowledge and Infinite, set up in the area in front of the Pitti Palace, play a go-between role with Florence and with the austere and mathematical charactere of its urban aesthetic. With Chaos, a monumental installation expressly created for the Limoniaia conservatory, Xhixha explores nature in an effort to penetrate the meaning of caos.00Exhibition: Giardino di Boboli, Florence, Italy (27.06.-29.10.2017).
