In the oak woods near Pievasciata (10km from Siena), 27 site-specific contemporary art installations are scattered through the forest. International artists created works designed for THIS landscape โ a mirrored labyrinth reflecting the trees, a sound installation powered by wind, a ceramic cave you enter, steel forms emerging from the undergrowth. The collision of contemporary art and Tuscan nature โ without the white cube, without the gallery guard, without the hush. โฌ10. Almost empty. Bring a picnic.
