Expanded

Expanded combines in a single coherent itinerary three prestigious institutional venues: the Castello di Rivoli hosts Expanded With (2 May – 25 August 2024), curated by Marcella Beccaria, which displays works where the medium of photography is the starting point for an investigation of different types of relationships with the landscape through pieces by pioneers of Land Art, Arte Povera and Body Art; the OGR Torino hosts Expanded Without (2 May – 28 July 2024), which focuses on works produced off-camera, where the picture is generated without resorting to the traditional medium of photography; and, the GAM hosts Expanded – I Paesaggi dell’Arte (Landscapes of Art) (2 May – 1 September 2024), curated by Elena Volpato and dedicated to some of the photographers who were able to capture the various aspects of art and portray more broadly its landscapes comprised of works of art and architectures, faces of the artists and snapshots of their work, either in the studio or in the natural landscape.

–Expanded Without  
(2 May – 28 July 2024)
OGR Torino – Binario 1

Expanded Without focuses on works produced off-camera, where the picture is generated without resorting to traditional photographic means: installations and environments, authentic expanded experiential fields, where visitors, observers, become part of the process of image construction.

–Expanded With 
(2 May – 25 August 2024)
Castello di Rivoli
curated by Marcella Beccaria

Expanded With presents works in which the photographic medium is the starting point for investigating different types of relationships with the landscape, body, construction of the image and identity. From the performative actions of artists from the 1960s–70s, the exhibition presents works by pioneers of Land art, Arte Povera, and Body art, also including the use of photography as a conceptual tool, as well as more contemporary experiences. In Expanded With, photography is physically present as protagonist.

The exhibition presents works belonging to the Fondazione per l’Arte Moderna e Contemporanea CRT on loan to Castello di Rivoli, in dialogue with works from Castello, in an organic itinerary that for the first time enhances the major photographic works in both Collections.
