In how many ways and with which expressions has the relationship between the work and space been defined? Environment, environment, immersive work, environmental work are just some of the many definitions used in an attempt to explain processes and evolutions of the relationship between art, space, environment. Ambiènte Archìvio, through a selection of materials from the Centro Archivi Arte, tells the development of environmental space research through the different declinations of the term environment, migrated and consolidated in the historical critical lexicon. The research proposes a mapping of the words used in the art lexicon from Spatial Environment to Black Light (1949) by Lucio Fontana up to Zaha Hadid's museum-environment (2010). The exhibition focuses on three semantic macro-areas defined based on three possible declinations of the term: Space-environment, the first experimental phase in which artists measure themselves in the design phase with the transition from the work-object to the work-environment; Perception-environment, a chapter that welcomes an immersive, experiential, performative dimension that involves other disciplines, leaving the spaces of galleries and museums to reconnect with urban and social space, up to the canonization of an environmental art with the Venice Biennale of 1976; Dimension-environment, a transitional moment in which the term installation appears more and more frequently with all the variations and lexical derivations, connoting an increasingly evident relationship between the work and the exhibition context.
