Sono stati selezionati i 25 istituti vincitori della seconda edizione del Bando aulArte, un progetto ideato e promosso dalla Fondazione per l’Arte Moderna e Contemporanea 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.

La seconda 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, Cittadellarte – Fondazione Pistoletto, GAM Galleria Civica d’Arte Moderna e Contemporanea, Fondazione Ferrero, Fondazione Merz, Fondazione Sandretto Re Rebaudengo, PAV Parco Arte Vivente, Pinacoteca Agnelli. 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.

L’impegno messo in campo dalla Fondazione per l’Arte Moderna e Contemporanea CRT comprende l’ideazione e progettazione dell’iniziativa, le linee guida per la sua messa in pratica e un investimento di 62.500 euro da erogare a 25 istituti.

Tra le numerose candidature ricevute sono stati selezionati venticinque istituti piemontesi delle province di Torino, Biella, Cuneo, Asti e Alessandria, valutando come criteri prioritari (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 2023, 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 venticinque istituti piemontesi che potranno beneficiare del contributo messo a disposizione dalla Fondazione per l’anno scolastico 2024-2025:

EXPANDED WITHOUT / OGR Torino

(May 2 – July 28, 2024)

In Expanded Without at the Binario 1 of OGR Torino focus is on off-camera works, where images are 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.

The exhibition opens with Frammenti di riflessione (Exoteric gate) by Nanda Vigo (1976), a space of inner crossings generated by neon light vibrations and reflections in the mirror. Nanda Vigo has worked at length on light as an element to build space and an opportunity to cancel its physical boundaries. Mirrors and light contribute to the formation of images that our minds can process and develop.

The second is the imposing Waterfall by Teresita Fernández (2000) that compresses all the dynamic and thunderous energy of the natural event it refers to in its immobile and silent presence. It is created using long strips or bands of polychrome acrylic material: Fernández’s Waterfall speaks to the persistence of shape and form through the idea of permanent change. The movement of water is recalled by the alternating blue, azure, and white strips: like frames, they follow each other like the breakdown of moments which in nature correspond to water falling.

At the centre of exhibition itinerary L’osservatore non l’oggetto osservato (1981-2003), by Remo Salvadori. In his work, the artist transfigures a camera tripod into copper. The presence of his shadow in some of the images of the history of photography refers to the gaze of the person who took the photograph. Salvadori’s multiplication of the silhouette into a light form in this work, shatters the photographer’s absolute point of view turning it into a set of relative visions that mutually activate each other, not just as the object and subject of the vision, but as a common reflection on looking and seeing oneself look.

The exhibition closes with Liquid Crystal Environment (1966-2017) by Gustav Metzger, a large environmental installation with ever changing coloured and psychedelic projections. The work is one of the largest the artist developed with liquid crystal technology, whose studies go back to the early discoveries by the botanist Friedrich Reinitzer in 1888 subsequently developed by the physicist Otto Lehmann who created the expression liquid crystal in 1889.

OPEN CALL:

Seminar 1 | PRACTICE – BASED RESEARCH | 26-29 June 2024

The Practice-based research seminar aims to explore the relationship between research and practice in artistic and curatorial contexts and in the context of academic or independent studies, reflecting on the proliferation of practices in contemporary art that are located within the framework of academic research and the proliferation of critical modes in academic studies towards theoretical knowledge detached from practice.

To apply: send your application by 19 May 2024

From 2 May to 2 June 2024, the regional capital city of Piedmont will host the first edition of EXPOSED Torino Foto Festival, Turin’s new international festival of photography, promoted by the City of Turin, the Piedmont Region, the Turin Chamber of Commerce, Intesa Sanpaolo, Fondazione Compagnia di San Paolo and Fondazione per l’Arte Moderna e Contemporanea CRT, in synergy with Fondazione CRT, and is organised by Fondazione per la Cultura Torino.

EXPOSED is: an event to highlight once again the city’s cultural and artistic vocation, that views creativity and innovation projects as one of the main drivers of the development and growth of the area, and not just as a tourist attraction. The 2024 Festival focuses on New Landscapes – Nuovi Paesaggi, echoing one of the main topics of Italy’s tradition in photography, offering a reflection of the modern evolution of the medium, of the main challenges and innovations of the world of images in its programme of temporary exhibitions, meetings, talks, and events in Turin’s main cultural institutions.

Menno Liauw and Salvatore Vitale, Director and Artistic Director of FUTURES, an international platform with 19 major European art institutions with an impact and influence in the world of photography, were selected as EXPOSED Art Directors through an international public process.

The programme of the first edition of EXPOSED lists over 20 temporary exhibitions, an artistic commission, two days of talks, an educational platform, a fair of independent publishers, meetings, screenings, portfolio readings and other events, enabled by the involvement in planning and production of the city’s main institutions, the independent organizations and the players of the city’s and international artistic landscape.

Among the exhibitions produced by EXPOSED in collaboration with partner organisations, the Foundation is pleased to announce Expanded, a project originating from the Collection of Fondazione per l’Arte Moderna e Contemporanea CRT, is coming to life in EXPOSED and will unite an exhibition in three chapters in a single coherent path at the venues of Castello di Rivoli, GAM – Galleria Civica d’Arte Moderna e Contemporanea and OGR Torino.

Expanded With at the Castello di Rivoli Museo d’Arte Contemporanea, curated by Marcella Beccaria, presents works in which the photographic medium is the starting point for investigating different types of relationship with the landscape, with works by pioneers of Land Art, Arte Povera and Body Art.

In Expanded Without (2 May – 31 July 2024) at Binario 1 hall of OGR Torino, the focus is instead on works where the image is produced without resorting to the traditional photographic medium: visitors will find installations, authentic experiential fields, within which the viewer becomes part of the image construction process.

Finally, Expanded – I Paesaggi dell’Arte (3 May – 1 September 2024) at GAM – Galleria Civica d’Arte Moderna e Contemporanea di Torino, curated by Elena Volpato, dedicated to a series of photographers who have been able to portray the many aspects of art and, in the broadest sense, its landscapes made up of works and architecture, the faces of artists and their moments of work in the studio or in nature.
