Artist, activist, critic and theorist Piero Gilardi is one of the most versatile and important individuals in the current artistic scene. Ever since he made his debut in the mid-60s, Gilardi has been at the crossroads of many international avantgarde artistic movements. His research and activity have always focused on a contemporary understanding of the relationship between man and nature. Nature undergoes a physical and conceptual transformation when it comes into contact with industrialisation and technological progress, and reflects upon the great challenges of this time, namely ecology, biopolitics, ethics and sustainability.
