Maestosa. 40 opere dell’ex ragazzo terribile della YBA fino al 5 aprile disseminate in cinque sedi a St. Moritz: tra due edifici storici, il neoclassico Forum Paracelsus a St. Moritz Bad e la chiesa protestante nel centro storico, e il circondario della cittadina elvetica, lago e argini compresi. Damien Hirst sbarca sulle nevi dell’Engadina con Mental Escapology, la prima mostra pubblica di Hirst in Svizzera.

I punti cardine della mostra includono tre sculture all’aperto di grandi dimensioni.

La scultura di Hirst alta 12 piedi The Monk (2014) è esposta al centro del lago ghiacciato di St. Moritz e Two Figures with a Drum (2013) è stata installata sul bordo sud-occidentale del lago. Temple (2008), una scultura in bronzo dipinto di 21 piedi raffigurante un modello anatomico, è esposta al Waldhaus Am See. Proteus (2012), anch’esso tratto dalla serie Treasures di Hirst, raffigurante il mutaforma dio del mare della mitologia greca, si trova all’esterno della chiesa protestante.

L’installazione di The Monk rappresenta la prima volta che un’opera d’arte è stata esposta sul lago stesso.

La mostra presenta anche opere di alcune delle serie più famose di Hirst, tra cui Natural History, Spot Paintings, Butterfly Color Paintings e Mental Escapology, da cui prende il nome la mostra.

La mostra è stata curata da Jason Beard e prodotta da Oscar Humphries e Marco Voena.
