On Saturday, July 18 at 8:30 PM, the exhibition Giardino Isola. Paesaggi, nature e relazioni by Tumu GaoGao, Ilaria Garzillo, and Martina Solli will be inaugurated at the Ravino Gardens, curated by Dr. Mariangela Catuogno, Director of Cultural Activities at the Ravino Gardens.
The exhibition activities promoted by the Ravino Gardens continue, as part of the 2026 programme, with selected artists invited to create works conceived both for presentation in the Moby Dick exhibition hall and as site-specific installations throughout the garden. The aim is to promote projects that place at the heart of artistic practice the idea of the Garden as a space for reflection on the delicate relationship between Human Beings and Nature, in a vision where all spaces contribute to narrating and stimulating visitors’ awareness of this theme.
The exhibition Giardino Isola. Paesaggi, nature e relazioni stems from the collaboration between artist Tumu GaoGao, who places her ceramic works along the garden path as archetypal forms and fragments of a Mediterranean imaginary connected to the island; illustrator Ilaria Garzillo, who creates through drawing sensitive maps capable of observing and narrating the relationships between places, nature, and landscape; and landscape designer Martina Solli, who uses dry vegetation as a design material, restoring its value as a form of permanence, memory, and landscape structure.
Together, the three artistic practices invite visitors to experience the garden as a complex organism—a place where nature, imagination, and matter coexist.
The exhibition Giardino Isola. Paesaggi, nature e relazioni brings together different materials and languages—ceramics, paper, and vegetation—heterogeneous elements that create an ecosystem of signs, forms, and presences.
Once again, Art and Landscape Architecture merge into a unified language within the spaces of the Ravino Gardens, a place for reflection, discovery, and enjoyment.
