Curated by Francesco Bonami

Fondazione Sandretto Re Rebaudengo presents the first edition of ARTLAND, a new series of exhibitions focusing on emerging artists from all over the world.

The first artist in the series to be presented at the Fondazione’s centre for contemporary in Turin is Chao Kao, an artist of Chinese origin who lived in Jonkowo in Poland for many years and who currently lives and works in Oregon, USA. Chao Kao presents a series of still life paintings, which reveal his fascination with anonymous objects and spaces, such as corners, pipes and shoelaces. Although he has been actively working for many years, this will be Chao Kao’s first exhibition in an arts institution.
