Piezo print on Hahnemühle museum etching paper // La Nona Nuvola by Berndnaut Smilde, created in 2016, is a limited edition digital print that captures the artist’s ephemeral and surreal aesthetic. The piece presents a grand, opulent room with baroque decor, its golden embellishments and ornate chandeliers reflecting the grandeur of the space. In stark contrast, a delicate, fluffy cloud hovers in the center, seemingly out of place yet mesmerizing in its fleeting presence. Smilde’s work plays with the idea of impermanence and the ethereal, merging natural phenomena with architectural settings. Printed on Hahnemühle museum etching paper, this artwork challenges perceptions of space and reality through its dreamlike atmosphere.

What is site specific art?
Site-Specific Art is a form of artwork created to exist in a particular location, with the artist considering the site as an integral part of the creative process. Robert Irwin was a key figure in promoting this art form in California. Site-Specific Art emerged as a reaction against modernist objects, which were often portable, commodified, and confined to museum spaces. In contrast, Site-Specific Art is inherently tied to its location, challenging the traditional notions of art as a transportable and marketable commodity.
