With a total of 372 applications received for more than 110 participants selected from all over Italy<\/strong>, 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<\/strong>, 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.<\/p>\n

With the Aperto<\/strong> 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<\/strong>, President of the Fondazione per l’Arte Moderna e Contemporanea CRT<\/strong>. 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<\/strong>‘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.<\/p>\n

Conceived by a team made up of Giorgina Bertolino, Irene Calderoni, Bernardo Follini and Vittoria Martini, Aperto<\/strong> 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<\/strong>, each of which has collaborated with universities, educational institutions, archives, libraries and cultural associations, including the University of Turin, Dipartimento Culture Politiche Societ\u00e0, Polo del ‘900, Istoreto – Istituto piemontese per la storia della Resistenza e della societ\u00e0 contemporanea “Giorgio Agosti”, Citt\u00e0 di Torino, Biblioteca Civica Alberto Geisser, Archivio Tipografico, Pressato Coffee & Books, De Carli Fonderia Artistica<\/strong>.<\/p>\n

Aperto<\/strong>‘s 2024 programme proposed six free intensive seminars<\/strong>, each lasting four days, with a total of 55 visiting professors<\/strong>, including Italian and international guests, at the venues of the participating institutions and partners; each seminar explored a specific area: Practice-based research<\/em>, on the relationship between research and practice in the context of art and curating and of academic or independent studies; Relazionarsi al presente \/\u00a0<\/em>Relating to the present<\/em>, 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,<\/em> 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<\/em>\u00a0to 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<\/em>, 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 sostenibilit\u00e0 dei progetti culturali \/\u00a0<\/em>Management and Sustainability of Cultural Projects<\/em>, to explore the fundamental tools for projects that are intended to last, evolve and leave a mark on the community.<\/p>\n
