Giuseppe Penone: Spazio di Luce

About

Over the past 45 years, Italian artist Giuseppe Penone has examined our relationship to nature. For the latest Bloomberg Commission, the Whitechapel Gallery displays a twelve metre bronze cast of a tree, with a radiant gold-leaf interior, spreading across the columned gallery. The tree is carefully balanced on its branches and divided into sections to allow visitors to move between the separate elements. The work contrasts with the urban environment surrounding the Gallery, highlighting hidden nature within the city. The installation is accompanied by talks and events exploring the rich relationship between nature and the city.
