aulArte 2025-2026 | ISTITUTI VINCITORI

/in /by

Sono stati selezionati i 30 istituti vincitori della seconda edizione del Bando aulArte, il progetto ideato e promosso dalla Fondazione per l’Arte Moderna e Contemporanea CRT, ente “art oriented” della Fondazione CRT, rivolto a tutte le scuole della regione Piemonte, volto a favorire la conoscenza e la divulgazione dell’arte contemporanea nell’ambito dei programmi scolastici.

In continuità con l’edizione 2024, la terza edizione del progetto aulArte si rivolge alle scuole di ogni ordine e grado allo scopo di favorire l’accesso ai luoghi di cultura da parte di studenti e studentesse, destinando uno specifico contributo alle uscite didattiche nei musei e nelle Fondazioni di arte contemporanea del Piemonte – Castello di Rivoli Museo d’Arte Contemporanea (Rivoli), Cittadellarte – Fondazione Pistoletto (Biella), Fondazione Ferrero (Alba), GAM Galleria Civica d’Arte Moderna e Contemporanea, Fondazione Merz, Fondazione Sandretto Re Rebaudengo, PAV Parco Arte Vivente, Pinacoteca Agnelli (Torino). L’obiettivo è, da un lato, quello di sensibilizzare i docenti all’importanza di integrare l’arte contemporanea nei programmi scolastici e, dall’altro, di incentivare l’adozione di politiche di inclusione valorizzando la diversità culturale e l’apprendimento attraverso attività esperienziali rese possibili anche grazie al contributo economico erogato dalla Fondazione.

La Fondazione per l’Arte Moderna e Contemporanea CRT ha stanziato per aulArte un contributo totale di 60.000 euro, 2.000 euro per ciascuno dei 30 istituti vincitori (in aumento rispetto ai 25 dell’edizione precedente).

Tra le oltre 70 candidature ricevute sono stati selezionati trenta istituti provenienti dall’intera regione. Oltre alla costante presenza delle scuole primarie e secondarie di primo grado, che da sempre rappresentano la maggioranza degli istituti candidati, quest’anno un significativo numero di scuole dell’infanzia e di scuole secondarie di secondo grado ha risposto all’appello. Questi dati confermano il crescente posizionamento del progetto e la sua capacità di espandere il proprio raggio d’azione su tutto il territorio regionale piemontese.

I criteri prioritari nella valutazione delle scuole vincitrici hanno tenuto conto de (i) la tipologia di popolazione scolastica e del contesto in cui opera ciascun istituto, (ii) la necessità di accedere a fondi economici per ampliare l’offerta di uscite scolastiche (in taluni casi quasi del tutto assente), (iii) l’importanza di saper integrare l’esperienza dell’uscita scolastica con la didattica, (iv) l’analisi dei bisogni. Inoltre, in aderenza ai punti 4 e 10 degli Obiettivi di Sviluppo Sostenibile dell’Agenda 2030, ossia favorire “istruzione di qualità” e “ridurre le diseguaglianze”, è stata considerata fattore premiante l’indicazione di attuazione di buone pratiche in materia di accoglienza e accessibilità for all.

A seguire l’elenco dei trenta istituti piemontesi che potranno beneficiare del contributo messo a disposizione dalla Fondazione per l’anno scolastico 2025-2026:

The project that the Kosovar artist has been working on for almost fifteen years is coming to the Langhe region. For the second edition of Radis, a permanent sculpture by Halilaj will blend into the landscape embracing the Alps and the hills, instead of a small village school which has been disused since the 1970s.

In the first episode of the Diary, entitled “Abetare” in Dogliani with Petrit Halilaj (‘Abetare’ – to dwell) curator Marta Papini talks about the new edition of the project.

RADIS 2025 | PUBLIC PROGRAM

/in , /by

Con la partenza della seconda edizione  il progetto di arte nello spazio pubblico ideato e promosso dalla Fondazione per l’Arte Moderna e Contemporanea CRT – ente art oriented della Fondazione CRT – in collaborazione con la Fondazione CRC, tornano anche gli appuntamenti del che avvicineranno il pubblico all’inaugurazione della sua opera, prevista per il 5 ottobre 2025.

The launch of the second edition of Radis, the public art project conceived and promoted by Fondazione per l’Arte Moderna e Contemporanea CRT – the art-oriented arm of Fondazione CRT – in collaboration with Fondazione CRC, also signals the return of public programme vents. These events will bring the public closer to the inauguration of the work, scheduled for 5 October 2025.

Launched in May with an event entitled L’arte che mette radici (Art that takes root), which was curated by Marta Papini and organised as part of the Dogliani TV Festival, the public programme will continue from June to October with a new edition of Supercondominio and a programme to promote public artworks in the province of Cuneo, with a specific focus on the Fondazione CRC’s A Cielo Aperto project. Barbara De Micheli, a project manager and producer with extensive experience in managing artistic and cultural projects, has conceived these itineraries for discovering the works scattered throughout the Cuneo area. The itineraries will offer the public the opportunity to explore an artistic heritage that blends with the landscape and local communities. The project aligns with the mapping and promotion work initiated by the Fondazione per l’Arte Moderna e Contemporanea CRT (CRT Foundation for Modern and Contemporary Art) during the previous edition of Radis, a publication edited by Vittoria Martini that catalogues and describes works rooted in their locations, inspired by their histories and dialogue with the communities that inhabit them.

 

THE CALENDAR

On Saturday 21 June, from 10 a.m., in Mondovì in the Garden of the Civic Museum of Printing, Susan Philipsz’s work A Song A Part will be activated, in an event curated by the Castello di Rivoli Museum of Contemporary Art. The event will include a conversation between Marcella Beccaria and Maurizio Fornero, as well as free guided tours of the museum and the work curated by the Museum of Printing.

On Saturday 21 June from 2pm and Sunday 22 June from 11am, in Cuneo at Rondò dei Talenti, it will be the turn of Michelangelo Pistoletto’s Terzo Paradiso dei Talenti, with cultural mediators involving the public in a participatory and poetic game, whose contributions will be collected and displayed in a temporary collective work, presented inside the Rondò.

On Sunday, 6 July, starting at 12 p.m., in Rittana, there will be a day dedicated to Giulia Cenci’s work Le Masche, created for the first edition of Radis, with a walk along the path leading to Chiot Rosa and a convivial picnic. In the afternoon, there will be creative workshops, games and refreshments for children and families. These will provide an enjoyable way for visitors to discover the sculptures in the woods. Finally, at the Rittana Community Centre, there will be a performance of Famiglia Mirabella, curated by Mirabilia, as part of the Nuovi Mondi Festival programme.

Supercondominio7, curated by Treti Galaxie, will be held in Dogliani on Saturday 6 and Sunday 7 September. Following five editions promoted and hosted by the Castello di Rivoli Museum of Contemporary Art, Supercondominio has become a meeting point for independent projects for the production and promotion of European contemporary art in the Radis area. The aim is to activate a dialogue between spaces and artists, to encourage reflection, mutual understanding, new synergies and collaborations, through moments of sharing with the public. The participating organisations are united by new approaches to public space, involving the themes of education and training new audiences for art.

On Saturday 20 and Sunday 21 September, from 11 a.m., Otobong Nkanga’s work Of Grounds, Guts and Stones will be activated in Pollenzo in the green area of UNISG – Università degli Studi di Scienze Gastronomiche (University of Gastronomic Sciences), and Olafur Eliasson’s work The Presence of Absence Pavilion will be activated in the garden of Grinzane Cavour Castle. Both events will feature storytelling activities led by cultural mediators in Italian and English.

On Saturday 11 October at 4.30 pm, a walk to discover Hilario Isola’s work I Dormienti will take place in Guarene. The artist will be in conversation with Bianca Roagna, director of the Beppe Fenoglio Study Centre, on the occasion of the 23rd anniversary of the city of Alba.

On Sunday 12 October at 11 a.m. in Castagnito, a public meeting will take place in conjunction with the children of the Castagnito nursery school. The purpose of the meeting is to present and share the work carried out by the artist Victoria Stoian with the work Paesaggio in 565 giorni e 33 scalini (Landscape in 565 days and 33 steps).

On Saturday 11 and Sunday 12 October, starting at 3 p.m. in Dogliani, Petrit Halilaj’s work, inaugurated on 5 October, will be the focus of cultural mediation activities and workshops in Italian and English, followed by a snack for children.

On the same days, starting at 11 a.m. in Alba, Valerio Berruti’s Alba and Samuel Di Blasi’s Porta di Luce will be presented during a guided walk in Italian and English.

For more information on the complete programme and how to participate, please visit the project webisite.

 

THE EXHIBITION

On Sunday, 5 October, an exhibition will open in the Chiesetta del Ritiro della Sacra Famiglia in Dogliani. Alongside Petrit Halilaj’s work, the exhibition will feature pieces from the collections of the Fondazione per l’Arte Moderna e Contemporanea CRT and the Fondazione CRC. The exhibition aims to return these pieces to the public in the Piedmont region. Tutto ciò che tocchi cambiaTutto ciò che cambi, ti cambia  (Everything you touch changes. Everything You Change Changes You), curated by Marta Papini. The exhibition is inspired by Octavia E. Butler’s dystopian novel Parable of the Sower, whose opening words give the exhibition its title, and by Nolan Oswald Dennis’s Notes for Recovery (hold), which is also on display. The exhibition offers a reflection on art as a tool of hope and openness towards the future, through a selection of works by Marina Abramović, Sol Calero, Chiara Camoni, Bracha L. Ettinger, Dorothy Iannone and Nolan Oswald Dennis, which touch on these themes from multiple perspectives.

 

THE EDUCATIONAL PROGRAMME FOR SCHOOLS

In parallel with the public programme, Radis will once again be accompanied by an educational programme for local schools. This programme has been curated by Feliz in collaboration with the association La Scatola Gialla. The initial cycle of meetings, entitled L’Attesa (The Wait), took place between May and June, with primary school classes in Dogliani participating as an accompaniment to the work. The second part, which is aimed at primary and lower secondary schools, is scheduled to take place once the work has been installed, during the 2025-2026 school year.

aulArte 2025-2026

/in /by

The aulArte call is back once again this year. Conceived and promoted by the art-oriented organisation Fondazione per l’Arte Moderna e Contemporanea CRT, a entity of Fondazione CRT, it is aimed at schools in Piedmont and is designed to foster knowledge of and engagement with contemporary art within the school curriculum.

Building on the success of previous editions, the third aulArte edition has two key objectives: encouraging engagement with contemporary art in schools and promoting access to cultural venues for students, as well as providing professional development opportunities for teachers. The 2024 edition involved 25 Piedmontese schools, with over 1,300 students in total.

Through the call for proposals, which is open to all Piedmont schools, the Foundation will provide a total contribution of €60,000, €2,000 for each of the 30 beneficiary schools (an increase from 25 in the previous edition). This funding is intended to support the costs of educational trips to Piedmont’s museums and contemporary art foundations: these include the Castello di Rivoli Museo d’Arte Contemporanea (Rivoli), Cittadellarte – Fondazione Pistoletto (Biella), Fondazione Ferrero (Alba), GAM Galleria Civica d’Arte Moderna e Contemporanea, Fondazione Merz, Fondazione Sandretto Re Rebaudengo, PAV Parco Arte Vivente and Pinacoteca Agnelli (Turin).

The deadline for submitting applications is 13 June 2025, with the selected schools being announced on 30 June.

A free teacher training programme run by the Education Departments of the contemporary art institutions involved will accompany the grant. Starting in autumn 2025, it will provide teachers with the tools to independently develop a didactic approach that uses contemporary art within the school curriculum. The last edition involved over 400 teachers from all levels of education.

The Fondazione per l’Arte Moderna e Contemporanea CRT’s commitment includes the conception and design of the initiative, the guidelines for its implementation, and the grant awarded to the 30 institutes, selected by a special commission according to the criteria set out in the call for proposals, drawn up in collaboration with the Piedmont Regional School Board.

RADIS 2025

/in /by

Radis, is an art project in the public space developed and promoted by the Fondazione per l’Arte Moderna e Contemporanea CRT, the art-oriented body of the Fondazione CRT. It is now in its second edition following the extremely successful experience of the first edition with Giulia Cenci’s work le masche in the town of Rittana. This second edition is a new curated by Marta Papini once more in collaboration with the Fondazione CRC, with the Kosovar visual artist Petrit Halilaj who will create a site-specific work in Borgata Valdibà, in the district of Dogliani (Cuneo).

The curator Marta Papini invited artist Petrit Halilaj (1986, Kostërrc, Kosovo) to work in the Borgata Valdibà. The area lies in a belvedere at the heart of the Langhe along a road connecting Dogliani to Monforte d’Alba, that walkers, ramblers, hikers and cyclists can enjoy from Spring through Autumn. Here, alongside the Church of San Bartolomeo (Saint Bartholemew) and its rectory, lies a compact two storey building that was the school of the hamlet until the 1960s, a point of reference for all the boys and girls of the surroundings. The school is no longer usable but where artist Petrit Halilaj will create a work as part of the Abetare (Primer Book) series, created from doodles scribbled on school desks.

The Abetare series started in 2015, using the archive of the doodles and drawings on the desks in the school in Runik (Kosovo), the village where Halilaj grew up in. Over the past ten years the artist has created a doodle and drawing archive that inspire him: the results are monumental steel and bronze sculptures, drawing from the childhood imaginaries in different times and space overlapping into a single language. The Abetare series has been exhibited in several major institutions, including the roof top of the New York Metropolitan Museum in 2024, as part of the Roof Garden Commission.

For Radis Halilaj will work starting with the doodles and drawings found on the Dogliani school desks combined with those from his archive.  The work will occupy the space once filled by the former school, as if a stylized house with no walls, inhabited by imaginary creatures from the school desks of the Langhe and the Balkans: their meeting will shape a monument to the universal language of imagination and fantasy. The work will be inaugurated in October.

Radis presenta Un'arca per le stelle, frutto delle attività educative realizzate con le scuole e curate da Feliz con l'Associazione La Scatola Gialla.

RADIS PRESENTA UN’ARCA PER LE STELLE

/in , /by

A new date for Radis, the public art project of the Fondazione per l’Arte Moderna e Contemporanea CRT, which celebrates its twenty-fifth anniversary this year: on Saturday 22 March from 15.00 and Sunday 23 March from 10.00, Un’Arca per le Stelle (An Ark for the Stars), the collective work created by the students who took part in the educational activities curated by Feliz with the La Scatola Gialla association as part of the educational project linked to Radis.

The day will also be an opportunity to present the documentary on the first edition of the project, produced by Cucù Milano and TIWI, which will be broadcast by Sky Arte on Tuesday 25 March 2025.

The Radis project – from the Piedmontese radis (root) – was created with the aim of enriching the Piedmontese territory with a heritage of public works of art that are made available to the community, in dialogue with educational programmes, public meetings and exhibition projects that return part of the collection of the Fondazione per l’Arte Moderna e Contemporanea CRT to the community. The first edition, curated by Marta Papini and realised in collaboration with the Fondazione CRC, culminated last October with the inauguration in the Chiot Rosa clearing of the site-specific work le masche by the artist Giulia Cenci; the work consists of a series of aluminium sculptures made by the artist from casts of birch trees in the clearing, combined with elements typical of her sculptural language.

The commissioning of Giulia Cenci’s work at Chiot Rosa was accompanied by an educational programme for local schools, curated by Feliz in collaboration with the association La Scatola Gialla. The first cycle of meetings, entitled L’Attesa (Waiting), involved thirteen primary school classes from the Borgo San Dalmazzo and Demonte Comprehensive Institutes in June 2024, who worked in the classroom to discover public art and in Chiot Rosa to imagine their own work at the same time as the artist conceived hers. In the autumn, the project continued with the activities of Costruire i sensi (Building Sensories), which also involved secondary schools, with a total of 38 classes, or 694 students, involved in a first-person confrontation with the work installed at Chiot Rosa, with Giulia Cenci’s language and research. The result of the workshops is L’arca delle stelle (The Ark of the Stars), a collective work whose return is a further opportunity to involve families and the local area in the themes of public art, and an invitation to visit Chiot Rosa to discover the work of public art that has inspired children and young people.

On Saturday 22nd March, the day will begin at 15.00 at the Centro della Comunità (former bowling alley) in Rittana, with institutional greetings by Patrizia Sandretto Re Rebaudengo, President of the Fondazione per l’Arte Moderna e Contemporanea CRT, and Mauro Gola, President of the Fondazione CRC; followed by a presentation of the schools’ activities and the final project by Elena Valsania and Christian Grappiolo of Feliz; this will be followed by a talk by Marta Papini, curator of Radis, and the presentation of the documentary film dedicated to the first edition of the project. The day will end with a visit to the students’ work, which will also be open to the public on Sunday 23rd March from 10am to 6pm.

Admission free of charge – reservation available HERE

APERTO | 2024

/in /by

With a total of 372 applications received for more than 110 participants selected from all over Italy, the first edition of Aperto, the cycle of free training seminars for contemporary art professionals promoted and financed by the Fondazione per l’Arte Moderna e Contemporanea CRT, which aims to provide Turin and Piedmont with a free high-level training programme, has come to a successful close and will soon launch its second edition.

With the Aperto programme, we set ourselves the challenge of making Turin a city laboratory for contemporary art professions, in line with its vocation as a reference city in the Italian and European art scene,’ explains Patrizia Sandretto Re Rebaudengo, President of the Fondazione per l’Arte Moderna e Contemporanea CRT. Among the lines for the four-year period 2024-27, the Foundation has strategically chosen to give centrality to the offer of specialised training, with the precise aim of preparing professional figures for the art sector, providing skills, spaces, content and economic resources. This is precisely Aperto‘s purpose: to invest in a high-quality training programme, from a theoretical, methodological and operational point of view, which has already produced significant results in the first edition of the programme.

Conceived by a team made up of Giorgina Bertolino, Irene Calderoni, Bernardo Follini and Vittoria Martini, Aperto involved contemporary Turin-based institutions and spaces with recognised expertise in the field of education: Castello di Rivoli Museo d’Arte Contemporanea, Fondazione Sandretto Re Rebaudengo, Almanac, Cripta747, MuchoMas! Feat Venture, each of which has collaborated with universities, educational institutions, archives, libraries and cultural associations, including the University of Turin, Dipartimento Culture Politiche Società, Polo del ‘900, Istoreto – Istituto piemontese per la storia della Resistenza e della società contemporanea “Giorgio Agosti”, Città di Torino, Biblioteca Civica Alberto Geisser, Archivio Tipografico, Pressato Coffee & Books, De Carli Fonderia Artistica.

Aperto‘s 2024 programme proposed six free intensive seminars, each lasting four days, with a total of 55 visiting professors, including Italian and international guests, at the venues of the participating institutions and partners; each seminar explored a specific area: Practice-based research, on the relationship between research and practice in the context of art and curating and of academic or independent studies; Relazionarsi al presente / Relating to the present, to reflect on how an artistic practice relates to the present, through the exploration of the concepts of community, belonging and relationship; Prologue for a school in the making. A Project by Una Scuola al Castello di Rivoli, a pilot seminar of the Castello di Rivoli Postgraduate Art Training Programme, to work collectively and critically on deconstructing one’s own disciplines and delaying production in a spirit of open dialogue; Arte e scritture in atto / Art and Writings in Action to address, explore and discuss the practice of writing as an evolving tool at the intersection of historiographic, critical, theoretical and artistic production; Arte in pratica: allestimento e produzione / Art in Practice: Installation and Production, to provide tools and techniques for two central aspects of the organisation and system of contemporary art that require professionals with a variety of increasingly specialised and up-to-date skills; Management e sostenibilità dei progetti culturali / Management and Sustainability of Cultural Projects, to explore the fundamental tools for projects that are intended to last, evolve and leave a mark on the community.
