Sculpture Garden Curator
The Sculpture Garden brings together the work of artists who reflect on the relationships between open space, nature, landscape and architecture. The section opens up to an imaginative and interactive dialogue between the artistic proposals and the spatial features of the venue, presented in the front garden of the Casa Prado.
