The work of this internationally famous Swiss Artist is often based on everyday issues and subjects that take on a poetic dimension as a result of their isolation, amplification, or specific material treatment. His landscapes, suns, human figures, and still lifes probe the emotional and psychological depths of human experience in relation to nature. In highly artificial installations featuring diverse references to art history and popular culture, he creates suggestive atmospheres that capture our modern-day attitude toward life. Rondinone is a multimedia artist at the intersection of Conceptual Art and Romanticism whose imagery confronts the viewers with a new reality of which they inevitably become a part. *nude in the landscape* at the Belvedere 21 is Rondinone’s first solo show in an Austrian museum. In the sunlit glass pavilion of the Belvedere 21, the artist brings together new groups of works from the classic genres of the nude and the landscape. Alongside *landscapes*—sculptures shaped from soil that make reference among other things to Minimal Art—designed especially for Vienna, the exhibition also presents hyperrealistically designed *nudes*—seemingly introverted nude figures made of clear wax and soil. Curated by Axel Köhne. \#UgoRondinone ### [Belvedere 21](https://www.belvedere.at/en/visit/belvedere-21) **Opening hours:** Tuesday to Sunday, 11 am - 6 pm; Late Night: Thursday, 11 am - 9 pm **Address:** Belvedere 21, 1030 Vienna ([Getting there]()) [Tickets](https://www.belvedere.at/en/tickets?location%5B0%5D=4) ##### In cooperation with - [Logo Pro Helvetia](https://prohelvetia.ch/de/) - [Logo Uniqa](https://www.uniqa.at/) - [Die Presse](https://www.diepresse.com/) - [Parnass](https://www.parnass.at/) ## Impressions - ![Ausstellungsansicht Ugo Rondinone im Erdgeschoss des Belvedere 21 — Installation view "Ugo Rondinone. nude in the landscape" — Photo: Stefan Altenburger, Courtesy studio rondinone](https://www.belvedere.at/sites/default/files/styles/equal_height_slider_1x/public/2022-01/UR_211124_0044%20Kopie.jpg.webp?itok=WK9krVdr) - ![Ausstellungsansicht Ugo Rondinone im Erdgeschoss des Belvedere 21 — Installation view "Ugo Rondinone. nude in the landscape" — Photo: Stefan Altenburger, Courtesy studio rondinone](https://www.belvedere.at/sites/default/files/styles/equal_height_slider_1x/public/2022-01/UR_211124_0072%20Kopie.jpg.webp?itok=TJB5i73C) - ![Ausstellungsansicht Ugo Rondinone im Erdgeschoss des Belvedere 21 — Installation view "Ugo Rondinone. nude in the landscape" — Photo: Stefan Altenburger, Courtesy studio rondinone](https://www.belvedere.at/sites/default/files/styles/equal_height_slider_1x/public/2022-01/UR_211124_0099%20Kopie.jpg.webp?itok=WPQ3vVfn) - ![Ausstellungsansicht Ugo Rondinone im Erdgeschoss des Belvedere 21 — Installation view "Ugo Rondinone. nude in the landscape" — Photo: Stefan Altenburger, Courtesy studio rondinone](https://www.belvedere.at/sites/default/files/styles/equal_height_slider_1x/public/2022-01/UR_211125_0137%20Kopie.jpg.webp?itok=AOAVfC3K) - ![Ausstellungsansicht Ugo Rondinone im Erdgeschoss des Belvedere 21 — Installation view "Ugo Rondinone. nude in the landscape" — Photo: Stefan Altenburger, Courtesy studio rondinone](https://www.belvedere.at/sites/default/files/styles/equal_height_slider_1x/public/2022-01/UR_211125_0177%20Kopie.jpg.webp?itok=RpBwcaOe) - ![Ausstellungsansicht Ugo Rondinone im Erdgeschoss des Belvedere 21 — Installation view "Ugo Rondinone. nude in the landscape" — Photo: Stefan Altenburger, Courtesy studio rondinone](https://www.belvedere.at/sites/default/files/styles/equal_height_slider_1x/public/2022-01/UR_211125_0186%20Kopie.jpg.webp?itok=5ADQbSVr) - ![Ausstellungsansicht Ugo Rondinone im Erdgeschoss des Belvedere 21 — Installation view "Ugo Rondinone. nude in the landscape" — Photo: Stefan Altenburger, Courtesy studio rondinone](https://www.belvedere.at/sites/default/files/styles/equal_height_slider_1x/public/2022-01/UR_211125_0191%20Kopie.jpg.webp?itok=fRjmM3G8) - ![Ausstellungsansicht Ugo Rondinone im Erdgeschoss des Belvedere 21 — Installation view "Ugo Rondinone. nude in the landscape" — Photo: Stefan Altenburger, Courtesy studio rondinone](https://www.belvedere.at/sites/default/files/styles/equal_height_slider_1x/public/2022-01/UR_211125_0304%20Kopie.jpg.webp?itok=jh3C53Q9) - ![Ausstellungsansicht Ugo Rondinone im Erdgeschoss des Belvedere 21 — Installation view "Ugo Rondinone. nude in the landscape" — Photo: Stefan Altenburger, Courtesy studio rondinone](https://www.belvedere.at/sites/default/files/styles/equal_height_slider_1x/public/2022-01/UR_211124_0040%20Kopie.jpg.webp?itok=diuZp7fx) ## The Artist ![Künstler sitzt auf einer Leiter — Portrait of Rondione — Photo: Don Stahl / courtesy of studio rondinone](https://www.belvedere.at/sites/default/files/styles/full_content_width_no_crop/public/media-directories/don_stahl_0816_Ugo_Rondinone-50_0.jpg.webp?itok=gB9rpwe2) Ugo Rondinone is born in Brunnen (Switzerland) in 1964.
