\nThis summer, nine monumental sculptures by Spanish Basque artist Eduardo Chillida are exhibited at the gardens of Amsterdam\u2019s Rijksmuseum (Netherlands). A group of works that retraces thirty years of artistic production, from 1972 with Estela a Millares<\/i> until the years 2000 with Consejo al espacio VIII<\/i>. The exhibition features recurring themes of his work, such as the question of gravity and weight or the relationship between art, nature and public space. The selection of outdoor sculptures provides an opportunity to rediscover one of the sculptor\u2019s most famous series, Peine del viento<\/i>.
\nThe gardens are opened every day from 9am to 6pm and access is free of charge.<\/p>\n

\nThis year, the Domaine de Chaumont-sur-Loire, Centre d\u2019Arts et de Nature, celebrates the 10th year of its \u00ab\u00a0Saison d\u2019art\u00a0\u00bb, an annual artistic program that takes place from the beginning of spring until fall. Since March, fifteen commissions and exhibitions celebrate this anniversary inside and outside the castle. The exhibition features Japanese artist Fujiko Nakaya with her fog sculptures in the Pr\u00e9s du Goualoup, German artist Nils-Udo\u2019s \u201cnest\u201d or Eva Jospin\u2019s Folie<\/i>, which she created specifically for the historical park and for which she distanced herself from cardboard, her usual media, to experiment with cement.<\/p>\n

\nSix large-scale sculptures are installed on the lawns and fountains of Madison Square Park. The surface of the sculptures, that appears to be liquid and unstable, evokes the shapes of architectural ruins, \u201ca blend between fresco and tapestry\u201d, to quote the author. Diana Al-Hadid\u2019s monumental works are fascinating because of their apparent fragility but also of their evocative power inspired by Arabic tales, biblical writings, classical painting or medieval churches.<\/p>\n
