RADIS 2026

Radis is back: the art for public spaces project conceived and supported by Fondazione Arte CRT, the art-oriented arm of Fondazione  CRT, in collaboration with Fondazione CRC. The third edition of the four-year project, conceived to transform the idea of multi-site heritage into concrete action, will again be curated by Marta Papini, who commissioned Colombian artist Iván Argote to create a site-specific work in Bene Vagienna, in the province of Cuneo. The work will be inaugurated in October 2026 together with a group show featuring works from the collections of Fondazione Arte CRT and Fondazione CRC, also curated by Marta Papini.

Iván Argote (Bogotà, Colombia, 1983) spans sculpture, public installation, film, painting and performance. His work reimagines how we use and understand public space, blending critique of historical and social injustices with moments of tenderness, humour and poetic rebellion. Argote challenges dominant narratives and invites audiences to rethink relationships between people, power and place.
His work has been exhibited at Centre Pompidou, Palais de Tokyo, Berlinische Galerie, Dortmunder Kunstverein, MALBA (Buenos Aires), MAPS (Køge, Denmark), SCAD Museum of Art (Savannah, USA) and ASU Art Museum (Tempe, USA). He has created public installations for the High Line (New York), MASP (São Paulo) and Desert X (Coachella Valley) and permanent sculptures for the Sorbonne (Paris) and the cities of Antwerp and Douala (Cameroon). And he has participated in, among others, the 60th Venice Biennale (2024), the 30th Bienal de São Paulo (2012), the Lyon Biennale (2024), the Bienal de Cuenca (2023) and the Thessaloniki Biennale (2015).

For the third edition of Radis, Argote will create a work that celebrates the history and traditions of Bene Vagienna and, at the same time, a new public space for the town.
