IL DIARIO DI RADIS 2025 | 2^ puntata

/in , /by

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 second episode of the Diary, entitled ‘Un viaggio tra le colline, nel passato delle Langhe (A Journey Through the Hills into the Past of the Langhe)’, curator Marta Papini recounts her exploration of the locations hosting the second edition of Radis. Following in the footsteps of Nuto Revelli’s Mondo dei vinti (The World of the Vanquished), she discovers traces of war and a vanished everyday life. The journey takes her through villages and vineyards to the medieval castle of Dogliani and a disused school that will be transformed by Petrit Halilaj’s permanent installation, which engages with the rural tradition of abandonment, return and resistance.

Enjoy the read!

FONDAZIONE ARTE CRT | ACTIVITIES IN THE SECOND TERM OF THE YEAR 2025

/in , , , /by

Since 2000, Fondazione per l’Arte Moderna e Contemporanea CRT (The Foundation), the art-oriented arm of the Fondazione CRT, has implemented concrete actions aimed at promoting talent and enriching cultural heritage. At the same time, it has built up an extensive collection of contemporary artworks which has become one of the most prestigious in Italy and internationally over time.

In its 25th year since establishment on 27 December 2000, the Foundation continues to implement the strategic lines of its programme with growing commitment, consolidating its vision and impact year after year through individual events and special projects. Public Space: chosen as a privileged place to create works through the active involvement of residents, local authorities, and associations to make art accessible and participatory; Internationalisation: openness to projects beyond the borders of Turin and Piedmont; Community: the common thread running through all the Foundation’s projects, understood as both the destination of these projects and a direct approach to building plural groups. The aim is to create connections and strengthen the social fabric through art; Professions: the professions of contemporary art require specific skills that must be encouraged and developed; Education has always been a pillar of the Foundation’s work, providing a fundamental tool for bringing people of all ages closer to the languages of art and promoting understanding and appreciation. The Collection is at the heart of the Foundation’s institutional identity and provides the community with access to an artistic heritage.

PUBLIC SPACE / Radis

Following the highly successful creation of Giulia Cenci’s Le Masche in the municipality of Rittana, the second edition of the project, curated by Marta Papini and once again in collaboration with the CRC Foundation, will see Kosovar visual artist Petrit Halilaj create a new piece in Borgata Valdibà, Dogliani (CN).
This year, the two institutions will continue their dialogue with the local community, turning the concept of shared heritage into tangible actions. This is one of the statutory objectives of the Fondazione Arte CRT and the Fondazione CRT, who have always been dedicated to making culture and art accessible to everyone.

The work will be inaugurated on 5 October 2025 alongside the collective exhibition ‘Tutto ciò che tocchi cambia’ (Everything you touch changes). This exhibition will feature works from the Fondazione Arte CRT and the Fondazione CRC.

INTERNATIONALISATION / The 57th Annual Conference of CIMAM

This year, the Fondazione Arte CRT is opening up to international circuits by providing support, together with the Fondazione CRT, for the 57th Annual Conference of CIMAM (International Committee for Museums and Collections of Modern Art). This event will take place from 28 to 30 November at the OGR Torino, making Turin an international capital of art with over 300 delegates arriving from all over the world.

This event is organised by CIMAM and supported by the Fondazioni Arte CRT and CRT. It is curated by the Content Committee in collaboration with the Sandretto Re Rebaudengo Foundation, the Turin Museums Foundation and the Rivoli Castle Museum of Contemporary Art.

The Turin conference is entitled “Enduring Game: Expanding New Models of Museum Making” and will be guided by the motto “Of Necessity Virtue”.

COMMUNITY / Luci d’Artista

The Fondazione Arte CRT continues to play a pivotal role in Turin’s cultural landscape, demonstrating its ongoing commitment to supporting major contemporary art events such as The Phair, EXPOSED and Artissima. The foundation acts as an open interlocutor, facilitating the exchange of ideas, aspirations and requirements.

To celebrate its 25^ anniversary, the Fondazione Arte will produce a new light installation by a leading international artist for the first time as part of Luci d’Artista. This veritable open-air laboratory and institution for contemporary art has always been supported by the Fondazione CRT. The new work will be added to those already within the project and will be a gift to the city.

PROFESSIONS / Aperto

Aperto, launched in 2024, is a specialist training programme for contemporary art professionals. It is free and of a high level, and is conceived and promoted by the Fondazione Arte CRT. It is now in its second edition. Aperto involves a network of contemporary institutions and spaces with recognised expertise in training. It offers seminars that explore a specific area by combining the acquisition of new skills with theory, reflection, and workshop activities.
The 2025 edition of Aperto will feature four seminars, each lasting three to four days and accessible through open calls. Taking place from July 2025 to February 2026, the seminars will involve the Castello di Rivoli, Almanac Inn, Cripta 747, Mucho Mas!, Fondazione Sandretto Re Rebaudengo and Artissima.

The first seminar was titled ‘Raccontare le mostre’. Per una storia della curatela al Castello di Rivoli Museo d’Arte Contemporanea’ (‘Telling the Story of Exhibitions’. A History of Curating at the Castello di Rivoli Museum of Contemporary Art), will take place in two sessions on 24 and 25 July 2025, and 25 and 26 September 2025. It is conceived and organised by the CRRI (Castello di Rivoli Research Centre) and curated by Antonella Soldaini, who is an art historian, curator, author and curatorial consultant, as well as being the head of research at Studio Celant.

EDUCATION / aulArte

Now in its third year, aulArte has two key aims: encouraging engagement with and dissemination of contemporary art in schools and promoting access to cultural venues for students, as well as teacher training.
Through the open call for applications, the Foundation has made a total of €60,000 available to support the costs of educational trips to museums and contemporary art foundations in Piedmont. This is distributed as €2,000 to each of the 30 beneficiary schools (an increase from 25 in the previous edition). These include the Castello di Rivoli Museum of Contemporary Art (Rivoli), Cittadellarte – Fondazione Pistoletto (Biella), Fondazione Ferrero (Alba), the GAM Civic Gallery of Modern and Contemporary Art, the Fondazione Merz, the Fondazione Sandretto Re Rebaudengo, the PAV Parco Arte Vivente and the Pinacoteca Agnelli (all in Turin).

This will be accompanied by a complimentary teacher training programme organised by the Education Departments of the contemporary art institutions involved. This programme will start in Autumn 2025 and aims to provide teachers with the tools to develop their own teaching methods using contemporary art in school curricula. The last edition saw the participation of over 400 teachers.

COLLECTION / Fondazione Arte Moderna e Contemporanea CRT’s Collection

The centrepiece of the Foundation’s institutional identity and heritage is the internationally renowned private collection of the Fondazione per l’Arte Moderna e Contemporanea CRT. This collection is displayed in various locations and is primarily made available to the two most important contemporary art institutions in Piedmont: the GAM – Galleria Civica d’Arte Moderna e Contemporanea in Turin, and the Castello di Rivoli Museo d’Arte Contemporanea. Part of the collection is also housed at OGR Torino and Fondazione CRT headquarters.

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:

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.
