The exhibition presents a selection of the latest acquisitions of the Fondazione Sandretto Re Rebaudengo Collection, offering a panoramic view of the work of leading contemporary artists who use photography as their chosen means of expression.Patrizia Sandretto Re Rebaudengo started collecting in the early nineties and established the Fondazione Sandretto Re Rebaudengo per l’Arte in Turin in 1995. The Fondazione focuses on providing the new generations of artists, critics and curators the right support to develop their work both in Italy and abroad. Its interest covers all of the variations in the contemporary art world, promoting the research, production and diffusion of some of the most significant works that have been marking the successive changes over the past decades. The Fondazione looks at all of the visual arts: painting, sculpture, photography, video, installation and performance… Its new centre for contemporary art in Turin is a flexible structure that responds to today’s trends. As well as regular exhibitions, the centre organises musical events, cinema, theatre, dance and lectures to encourage people’s approach to the centre and to contemporary art. From the beginning of its activities the Fondazione Sandretto Re Rebaudengo has dedicated much attention to international photography and, in fact, it is a key theme of the collection, also due of course to the great influence photography has had on the art world in recent years. In line with the concept of the creation of this collection, a selection of one hundred works will be presented, with the participation of such artists as: Nobuyoshi Araki, Matthew Barney, Larry Clark, Saul Fletcher, Nan Goldin, Francesco Jodice, Barbara Kruger, Zoe Leonard, Tracey Moffatt, Shirin Neshat, Sakiko Nomura, Thomas Ruff, Collier Schorr, Cindy Sherman, Hannah Starkey, Thomas Struth, Alessandra Tesi and Jeff Wall. This selection allows the viewer to see altogether and in one place a variety of the latest trends without any distinctions, from small, simple photographs in black and white to huge bright coloured images and combinations on large and varied supports.The exhibition is organized jointly by IVAM, the Fondazione Sandretto Re Rebaudengo and the Galleria d’Arte Moderna di Bologna. Once the show concludes its run at IVAM, it will travel to the other collaborating institutions.
