Curated by Gregor Muir. The show about Isa Genzken (Germany, 1948) presents, for the first time in Italy, a series from the late 1980s, a corpus of painting works that is less known than the sculptures and installations, for which Genzken is famous. They are monochrome oil paintings whose very name, Basic Research, suggests the start of an exploration and interaction with the environment. The frottages the artist made of her studio floor are half-way between painting and sculpture, and seek to establish nonverbal communication with the surrounding space and the public.

Scopri di piùCurated by Francesco Bonami, Achim Borchardt-Hume The Whitechapel Gallery presents Viral Research, the second in a series of displays from the Collection Sandretto Re Rebaudengo. Viral Research takes its title from the central work by US sculptor Charles Ray. With an absence of colour, this display of monochrome works creates a sense of suspense and the uncanny, reminiscent of film noir. Shown for the first time in the UK, Ray’s Viral Research (1986) is a group of various shaped glass bottles arranged on a transparent table and interconnected by a system of pipes. As if in a chemist’s laboratory, the bottles each...

Scopri di piùMaison Particulière art center Through the eyes of three Italian art collectors OCTOBER 16 - DECEMBER 21, 2014 Love life, appreciate it in all that it brings us of miraculous, unexpected, of good and beautiful, of enthusiasm and discovery, big or small enjoyment, to know how to taste, recognize, feel, perceive. A work of art calls on to the senses, to the sensual delight and to the enjoyment. Such is the theme of our 12th art exhibit at Maison Particulière. They invited three Italian, enthusiastic and generous collectors, who with a great spontaneity "played" the game for us: choose at the same time works...
Scopri di piùThe prize is the result of a collaboration between Fondazione Sandretto Re Rebaudengo and the Serpentine Gallery. It was developed together with 89plus, a research project co-founded by Simon Castets and Hans Ulrich Obrist, which focuses on the generation of innovators born in or after 1989. The competition involved submitting applications via the the emerging artist platform Discrit 89plus, hosted by DIS Magazine, a digital media platform which supports new creative practices. Two winners were selected, one by open public vote and the other by an international jury; the winners received a sum of money, which they used to produce the...
Scopri di piùThe fifth cycle of Prix Pictet arrives in Turin on 11 September. The exhibition features the work of the eleven shortlisted photographers at the Fondazione Sandretto Re Rebaudengo. This marks the first occasion the Prix has toured to Turin, having visited Milan twice previously. Earlier this year at the Victoria and Albert Museum in London, Kofi Annan, Honorary President of Prix Pictet, announced that the German photographer Michael Schmidt had won Prix Pictet Consumption for Lebensmittel his monumental survey of the food industry. The exhibition then toured to Barcelona and Thessaloniki and will visit Zurich, Munich and Mexico later this year. The...
Scopri di piùFondazione Sandretto Re Rebaudengo presents a personal show of David Ostrowski (Cologne, 1981), one of the most interesting artists from the last generation of abstract painters, who are emerging on the international art scene. After studying at the Kunstakademie in Düsseldorf under Albert Oehlen, one of the most influential and controversial contemporary painters, Ostrowski grabbed international attention and, in the past two years, his works have been exhibited in Berlin, Paris, Zürich, New York, and Los Angeles. David Ostrowski has chosen painting both as a medium, and as the object of his research. His practice is based on a constant trial-and-error process,...
Scopri di piùCurated by Gregor Muir Beware Wet Paint (29 October – 1 February 2015) is a group show that explores the latest trends in international painting. The exhibition is produced in collaboration with the Institute of Contemporary Arts – ICA London. Beware Wet Paint consists of works by artists for whom painting forms a single strand within a multidisciplinary practice. The exhibition title comes from Richard Hamilton's account of Marcel Duchamp repeating the words slowly with blood-curdling emphasis placed on the word 'beware', underlining the disruptive nature of this supposedly traditional form. The exhibition also alludes to the role of the conceptual artist...
Scopri di piùCurated by Filippo Maggia Since then, 41 artists have been involved, over the years, in this exploration, and some of them have taken part in more than one edition of the project, which has developed in cycles of roughly three years. The first edition, in 1999, was organized in the evocative space of former Chiesa del Carmine in Taormina, the following year at Modena’s Galleria Civica, and finally in Milan, at Galleria del Credito Valtellinese, in 2001. A renewed edition of the first exhibition was presented in February 2002 at the former Italian Pavilion in the Venice Biennale complex. In 2003, a new...
Scopri di piùEuropium is the title of the show, and of the installation, which the artist has designed and produced for the exhibition space of the Foundation. Europium is the most reactive of the so-called rare earth elements –it oxidizes quickly and, when exposed to air, explodes spontaneously at temperatures between 150 °C and 180 °C. The works of Thomas Teurlai are immersive installations, in which spectators are invited to interact with a new world, a place that conveys both restlessness and amazement. His sculptures have the shape of a mysterious technological apparatus, made of various tools and equipment, machines and engines...
Scopri di piùThe double solo show of works by Sara Enrico (Biella, 1979) and Hilario Isola (Turin, 1976) is the fifth chapter in Greater Torino, a series of yearly exhibitions, which the Foundation has organized since 2010, focusing on younger-generation artists who have chosen Turin as the place to study or work. The exhibition introduces two research projects that combine painting and drawing, sculpture and installation, exploring the scope and border areas of each. The look of the observer is one of the centers of attention in the exhibition, thought of as a sort of panorama. The research of Sara Enrico revolves around painting and...
Scopri di piùCurated by João Laia (Portugal, 1981) Kim Nguyen (Canada, 1983), and Marina Noronha (Brazil, 1981), and coordinated by Gaia Tedone (Italy, 1982). Fondazione Sandretto Re Rebaudengo presents Così Accade the concluding exhibition of the eight edition of the Young Curators’ Residency Programme. So it happens, as it happens. Chance prescribes the outcome. Così Accade is the influence of chance and the recurrence of circumstance. It alludes to the experience of an eight-month curatorial project that begins with a four-month residency and culminates in a four-month public display. The bringing together of three distinct perspectives in order to touch the surface of an...
Scopri di piùChristian Rosa, (b. Rio de Janeiro, 1982) is one of the most interesting young abstract painters to have emerged on the international contemporary scene. This exhibition at Fondazione Sandretto Re Rebaudengo, Turin, is his first institutional solo show. In his works, Rosa uses different techniques: oil painting, spray, pencil and collage - a combination of mixed techniques that evoke the styles of calligraphy, engraving and graffiti art, with signs layered on virtually monochrome backgrounds, grey or white. He has a very strong relationship with painting and works directly on the raw, unprepared canvas, condensing his sessions into tight physical gestures. His...
Scopri di piùThe Sandretto Re Rebaudengo Collection Patrizia Sandretto Re Rebaudengo is one of the most important private collectors of contemporary art in Europe today.

The collaboration with the Olbricht Foundation began last year when the Fondazione's centre for contemporary art in Turin hosted an exhibition...
Scopri di piùThe technically and iconographically striking paintings of Avery Singer (born in 1987, lives and works in New York) thwart our visual expectations. At an initial glance, they resist a clear classification of painting or printing processes. Hence her works raise the obvious and artistically pressing question of how the digital information that surrounds us can materialize itself – be it as a flat image on paper or more recently in 3-D in plastic, or on and in every other possible material surface. Avery Singer has created a cycle of works specifically for this first institutional solo exhibition. In cooperation with Kunsthalle...
Scopri di piùCurated by Irene Calderoni Press Play presents the artist’s point of view when exploring the language ofthe media, a world saturated with virtual images in which reality seeminglycoincides with its mass-mediatic representation. The chance to accessinformation live 24/7 emphasises the dimensions of immediacy, speed andflow, a consequence of reality that makes the perception and interpretationof events more complex. Our knowledge of the facts passes through thepowerful filters of the mass media, where newsworthy stories are selected anddetermined internally, and packaged like consumer products to be marketedand sold to the widest possible public.Therefore, information becomes a form of entertainment, a performancedominated by...

Scopri di piùCurated by Irene Calderoni and Maria Teresa Roberto. May 29th, 2012 will see the opening of the third exhibition in the Greater Torino cycle, devoted to younger generation artists that have been educated or currently work in Turin. The city is seen as an extended territory, a place of birth or an adopted home town, but primarily as a platform for developing a research path, supported by opportunities for growth, mobility and external relationships. An open city that can embrace the “round trip” dynamics that is essential in defining the career of an artist. This year, as in the two previous...
Scopri di piùCurated by Benoit Antille, Michele Fiedler, Andrey Parshikov Fondazione Sandretto Re Rebaudengo, Turin and V-A-C, VICTORIA – the Art of being Contemporary, Moscow present Underneath the Street, the Beach. Inspired by a protest slogan used during the French May 1968 protests “Sous les pavés, la plage,” the exhibition explores the importance of making active gestures and taking positions that redefine our relation to reality. Underneath the Street, the Beach presents works by artists who experiment with disruptive strategies and counter-narratives in order to create new dynamics and conditions for visibility within the socio-political, cultural and urban Italian context of today. By drawing on...
Scopri di piùCurated by Hubertus Butin and Wolfgang Schoppmann. Fondazione Sandretto Re Rebaudengo presents the exhibition Gerhard Richter – Editions 1965–2012. Gerhard Richter is one of the most important and most successful German artists of the present day. He is best known for his paintings, which have become a common feature in museum collections all over the world. But in the last few years, his editions have also increasingly become the focus of attention for collectors, museum curators and art enthusiasts. Professor Thomas Olbricht has collected Gerhard Richter’s editions for over 20 years now, managing to acquire all of the artist’s editions (with one exception),...
Scopri di piùCurated 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...
Scopri di piùKjartansson’s work is based on a unique blend of visual art, music and theatre. Drawing on inspirations and influences ranging from traditional Icelandic legends to opera music to contemporary pop culture, his performances tend to be built around the endless repetition of a single formula, whether it is a gesture, a word, an aria or a pictorial image. This device leads to pieces in which duration and resistance play a fundamental role, which is in keeping with the classic tradition of performance and body art, but there is also an allusion to the exhausting practice of rehearsals, which Kjartansson is...

A Collaboration with the Kunsthistorisches Museum Vienna and the Fondazione Sandretto Re Rebaudengo. The Kunsthalle Krems is engaging with the different expressions of emotion and the way each emotion changes within the historical context of works of art. Around 50 works of contemporary art from the Fondazione Sandretto Re Rebaudengo in Turin will be placed in a dialogue with works from the different collections of the Vienna Kunsthistorisches Museum (Picture Gallery, Collection of Arms and Armour, Antiquities Collection, Egyptian and Near East Collection, Museum of Carriages and Department of Court Uniforms)....
Scopri di piùCurated by Dobrila Denegri In collaboration with Fondazione Sandretto Re Rebaudengo With patronage of Italian Embassy in Warsaw How can a collection of contemporary art become a subject for a thematic exhibition? How can it be interpreted or perceived by an external gaze? How can it become a paradigm? Each collection contains an infinite variety of inner narratives and, for the collector, it can be challenging to discover some of them and share them with a different audience. For this reason some of the highly-renowned collections have been shown in the Centre of Contemporary Art in Torun over past five years. In each...
Scopri di piùCurated by Irene Calderoni e Maria Teresa Roberto. The artists invited to the fourth edition of Greater Torino are Alis/Filliol and Alessandro Sciaraffa. The double solo show highlights the different approaches, through which the artists interpret sculpture and installation, and analyzes the multiple implications of these approaches on the physical, sensorial and mental space. Through a selection of both recent works and new productions, the exhibition documents these different paths, makes them converge and contrasts their different attitudes and interests - body and immateriality, silence and sound, opacity and brilliance. The common denominator is the cast, print, or recording, which the artists...

Scopri di piùSunt lacrimae rerum [They are the tears of things] presents a series of works from Collezione Sandretto Re Rebaudengo. The show focuses on contemporary sculpture both as a medium and as a tool to explore the world of objects, and our individual relationship with things. The quote from Virgil’s Aeneis, after which the exhibition is titled, emphasizes the melancholy that often accompanies this relationship – the sense of yearning and loss that comes from associating objects with past memories. At the same time, the expression “the tears of things” may suggest the idea of an emotional life of objects, a...
