SOMETHING BORROWED | FULTON

Something Borrowed is the social column about the travels of the works of the Fondazione per l’Arte Moderna e Contemporanea CRT that are loaned from Turin to Museums all over Italy and the World. Follow them with us on Instagram, Facebook e Linkedin.

The Foundation is proud to announce the loan of a work by the artist Hamish Fulton (1946) from the Castello di Rivoli Museo d’Arte Contemporanea Rivoli-Turin to the Museo Nazionale della Montagna in Turin for the exhibition ‘Walking Mountains’, a reflection on walking as an immersive experience in mountain landscapes and on our relationship with the world around us.

A leading figure on the international scene and a pioneer of Walking Art, Fulton’s works explore profound themes such as the feminine, spirituality and the connections between culture, history and everyday life, inviting visitors to immerse themselves in a fantastic landscape. The 2007 work Kailash Kora will contribute to the artistic and cultural exchange between the two institutions.

The exhibition, curated by Andrea Lerda with Hamish Fulton and Michael Höpfner as project mentors, is conceived as a crossing of the mountain: an unprecedented dialogue with otherness, a tool for the evolution of feeling, but also an experience of renewal of individual and collective consciousness. The narrative presents the works of twenty artists – whose research is driven by the awareness that walking can be a revitalising and subversive gesture – in dialogue with those of historical artists such as Richard Long and Joseph Beuys.
