The exhibition dedicated to the Ligurian sculptor Alex Pinna presents a collection of works that investigate the concept of nature using different canons and hybrid languages. There are stuffed mice invading the museum spaces - inviting visitors to play and interact following an artist who continues to remain childlike and a magical piper - or large filiform sculptures and wall works that recall the poetics of recent years. The departure from the colorful and unreal spectrum of the fantasy world of the early production, Fenu writes, "has become increasingly marked and the relationship with nature and life in general has become more intimate, fragile, and melancholic: a world of lines that acquire the concreteness of form without losing the lightness of the sign, lyrical fragments of a precarious existential condition, like leaves. They are elongated beings at the limit of the possible, almost filiform, consubstantial with a leaf, indeed, at the same time home and world, sometimes uterine, sometimes a springboard towards an impracticable and feared void. Beings with an ancient history and noble fathers: from the most mysterious Etruria to Giacometti, from the graphic design of the endless alphabets of Emilio Scanavino - also Ligurian - to the precarious and dancing balances of Calder to arrive at the oblique, metaphysical, absolute spaces, catalysts of worlds and suspended time, inhabited by hybrid and androgynous creatures of Gino De Dominicis for whom art, as for Alex Pinna, was and remains a magical act." Bronzes, woods, ropes, fabrics, and leaves dominate the interior of the Organic Museum. They are silent but not mute materials, in turn and in their own way "organic" that impose meditation and sharing, a participation devoid of a certain mannered environmentalism that leads the viewer to become bronze, wood, rope, or leaf and to listen.
