Temple University Rome is very pleased to present the exhibition Ideas for Sculpture, a display of projects and drawings for the sculptures installed in the Sculture in Campo Sculpture Park in Bassano in Teverina. The Park, created by Lucilla Catania in 2017, is an important cultural and artistic venue, fully recognized by the Regione Lazio political administration, and figures prominently among the several similar gardens in Lazio. The Park’s mission is to make a significant and transformative  impact on the landscape. As the website, https://scultureincampo.it/en/ states, the Park actively responds to the European Cultural Program, which foresees among the most important activities the sustainable promotion of the cultural patrimony, to better integration and  well being, to create an ecosystem able to support the artists and the professionals involved in culture and creativity, and to encourage international culture.

From this year, the Sculture in Campo has a presence in Rome at the studio of Daniela Perego, where artists, critics, curators and art lovers meet for discussion. During one of these encounters, and in a flash of inspiration, we recognized the great potential of displaying the steps that precede the creation and presentation of the work, focusing on the preliminary drawings, models, sketches, written word. Curated by Anna Maria Panzera, a member of the Park’s curatorial commission, and the important support of Lucilla Catania, the idea of the exhibition emerged, to reveal the artist’s move out of the studio space and into the environment, in relationship with nature and with the public.
