T – Turin Triennial Threemuseums
The city of Turin has already earned itself something of a reputation for its contemporary art scene in recent years. The city’s museums and galleries are consolidated in their choice of long and short term exhibitions, public art has now become a familiar part of the urban fabric and the city’s yearly art fair specialises in contemporary art and has expanded to include commissioned works and special projects.
T is the new Turin based triennial exhibition of contemporary art, organised by the city’s three main art institutions - Castello di Rivoli Museo d’Arte Contemporanea, the Fondazione Sandretto Re Rebaudengo and the GAM Galleria Civiva d’Arte Moderna e Contemporanea di Torino – and set to present ‘what comes next’ in visual arts.
Every edition of T will be organised in two parts: the first section for this first edition will show new, experimental and many site-specific works by young artists from all over the world, while the second part will present solo exhibitions paying homage to two mid-career artists.
T2 - 50 Moons of Saturn
The second edition of the Torino Triennale is curated by Daniel Birnbaum. Art critic and independent curator, Birnbaum is currently Rector of the Städelschule Art Academy and Portikus Gallery in Frankfurt and will be Director of the 53rd Edition of the Venice Biennale.
Entitled 50 Moons of Saturn, the exhibition will be held in three different venues: Castello di Rivoli Museo d’Arte Contemporanea, the Fondazione Sandretto Re Rebaudengo and the Promotrice delle Belle Arti. The curator has been inspired by Saturn, the slow and melancholic planet, for this second edition, creating a new geography in the contemporary art world…a constellation of artists who work under the sign of ambivalence.
T2 will be split into two parts:
The first part features the work of 50 young artists from all over the world who will be showing new experimental works.
The second part will feature two solo shows dedicated to mid-career, internationally acclaimed artists.
For this edition, the Danish artist Olafur Eliasson will be presented at the Castello di Rivoli Museum of Contemporary Art and the Chinese-American artist Paul Chan at the Fondazione Sandretto Re Rebaudengo centre for contemporary art in Turin.
