SUMMARY:Artistic freedom\, angel of history
DESCRIPTION:On the occasion of the eighth edition of Biennale Democrazia\, taking place in Turin from 03.22.2023 to 03.26. 2023\, Director of Castello di Rivoli Carolyn Christov-Bakargiev will give a lecture entitled Artistic freedom\, angel of history. \nIn the era of predictive statistics with the algorithm directing attention towards personalized choices\, free choice is no longer freedom. In the era of narcissism relentlessly requiring producing creative and expressive tangible and intangible matter\, free speech is no longer freedom. Artistic freedom is the angel of history\, an intellectual\, imaginative\, tender horizon that produces online and offline\, singular and collective consciousness. While crossing ruins\, artistic freedom produces worlds. Here lies the supreme and welcome outdatedness of the theme of freedom\, its libations.

SUMMARY:The Beeple Donation Presentation of the artwork FTX BOARD MEETING\, DAY #5676 11.13.2022\, 2023
DESCRIPTION:On the occasion of the donation\, the Museum will hold a public conversation with the artist and the Director Carolyn Christov-Bakargiev live-streamed on Youtube. \n\n\n\n\nCastello di Rivoli Museo d’Arte Contemporanea is pleased to announce the entry into its permanent Collection of the work by Mike Winkelmann\, alias Beeple\, FTX BOARD MEETING\, DAY #5676 11.13.2022\, generously donated by the artist to the Museum. \n\n\n\n\nThe work\, existing in both the physical and digital realms\, is made up of an NFT (non-fungible token)\, i.e. a digital image registered with blockchain technology via a smart contract in a unique edition 1/1\, and a physical component\, a large oil painting on canvas. \nWhen Castello di Rivoli attempted to show this work on the Museum’s Youtube channel\, it was censored by Youtube due to their rules against showing nudity. While this image is provocative\, Beeple uses the visual language of pornography and the cartoonish graphics of the digital world to critique what he views as the adolescent recklessness and immaturity of the tech entrepreneur Sam Bankman-Fried and the wider digital culture surrounding him. \nSince May 1\, 2007\, Beeple has been producing and posting online a personally created image every day\, in an exercise of rigor and measurement of the passage of time that recalls the conceptual practices of the 20th century\, updated for the age of digital culture. Over time he has built a large community of fans\, becoming one of the most important visual artists on social media\, with 2.4 million followers on Instagram\, more than 500\,000 on Facebook and over 760\,000 on Twitter. Beeple entered the wider public consciousness when his work EVERYDAYS: THE FIRST 5000 DAYS\, 2021\, sold for a record price at Christie’s auction on March 11\, 2021\, during the Covid-19 pandemic lockdown. It is a compendium of the first 5\,000 images\, created daily by the artist from 2007 to the beginning of 2021. The work captured the attention of the international art world and the global digital community\, serving as a catalyst for both digital art and the uniqueness that each NFT (non- fungible token) represents through blockchain technology. This daily exercise\, practiced by Beeple for over 15 years\, has inspired thousands of other digital artists to start their own everyday practice. Deploying different styles\, from abstract expressionism\, to illustration\, to science fiction\, Beeple’s often figurative works act as political critique of the anti-ecological use of technologies and extractive energy industries for the pure purpose of profit\, although often veiled by green hypocrisy and lies. The artist extrapolates a few Everydays from the great flow of his images to become single and unique NFTs in 1/1 edition constituting rare\, unique works of art\, while some drops (online publications of his Everyday NFT images) appear periodically in more accessible editions of 100\, as multiples. \nDirector of Castello di Rivoli Museo d’Arte Contemporanea\, Carolyn Christov-Bakargiev\, comments: “Beeple’s work FTX BOARD MEETING\, DAY #5676 11.13.2022\, 2023 (Cinema 4D\, Octane Render\, Photoshop\, NFT\, oil on canvas 147.3 x 182.9 cm) constitutes an important donation that updates our permanent collection with a work in a 21st-century medium that combines the digital with the physical. I am grateful to Mike Winkelmann for his generosity and respect for museums and our museum in particular. \nThe subject of this work is the thirty-one-year old entrepreneur Sam Bankman-Fried\, one of the youngest billionaires in the tech industry in early 2022\, and the founder and former CEO of the cryptocurrency exchange platform FTX. The work is a satirical reflection on recent events involving Bankman-Fried\, arrested in December 2022 for wire fraud and money laundering. Allusions to Effective Altruism – a concept of philosopher William MacAskill preached by Bankman-Fried and often adopted by tech entrepreneurs – can be seen in the background of Beeple’s image. These contrast with the alleged conduct of the FTX exchange platform\, accused of having used billions of dollars from the exchange to finance risky operations of Bankman-Fried’s currency company\, Alameda Research\, leading to the inevitable collapse of cryptocurrencies. Some news\, leaked in the days following his arrest\, alleged he also engaged in frequent orgies in the office. In this work\, Beeple makes fun of Bankman-Fried in a cathartic way\, through the representation of an orgy between computers where the image of the entrepreneur is kaleidoscopically multiplied and blurs gender\, to the point of representing onanism and the pure solipsism of some parts of the new digital world. The recurrence of the same figure in the picture can also be read as an allusion to the close circle of collaborators with whom Bankman-Fried worked and lived in a resort in the Bahamas. \n\n\n\n\nChristov-Bakargiev explains why she chose this particular 1/1 edition by Beeple:\n“I wanted a strong image that is relevant to Beeple’s work. While this image may be seen as provocative\, the main reason Beeple’s digital work and that of NFT artists became known to the general public is the financial aspect of the digital world and the Christie’s Beeple sale\, which was paid for in cryptocurrency. For me\, the collapse of the crypto world following the FTX scandal and the speculative bubble that exploded last year is one of the key moments of that world – it was like an atomic bomb going off in the crypto world. Beeple’s work is particularly controversial in that community because he is an artist who critiques the digital world. He questions the technology and the society that develops in relation to that technology\, even as he uses its system and structures. For me\, Beeple is interesting as an artist in a similar way to Andy Warhol: both critique the societies in which they are embedded. Warhol was critiquing the consumer society around him – that’s why he made the electric chair pictures\, the tragic image of Marilyn Monroe and his endless repetitions and magnifications of consumer culture. Many great artists use the new medium and techniques of their time and also critique them and show the risks of their ‘brave new world.’ Here Beeple’s seemingly pornographic image is also pointing to the childish\, immature and narcissistic nature of the digital world. It’s important that such art not be censored by social media companies and their algorithms.” \nThe event will be followed by the presentation and book signing of the volume Beeple: Everydays\, the First 5000 Days (Abrams\, New York\, 2023)\, the first monograph dedicated to the artist\, at the Castello di Rivoli Bookshop. \n  \nhttps://www.castellodirivoli.org/wp-content/uploads/2023/07/Beeple-Eng.m4a

SUMMARY:Energy cultures. Energies\, imaginaries\, currencies\, and nuclear horizons of the planet. A 21st-century meeting of artists\, scientists\, and philosophers.
DESCRIPTION:Saturday September 23\, 2023\nThe conference is jointly drafted by Carolyn Christov-Bakargiev\, Director of Castello di Rivoli\, and the artist Agnieszka Kurant\nSession I and II\, 10.00am to 12pm and 2pm to 4pm\, is open to the public\, takes place in the Castello di Rivoli theater\, and will be live streamed in the official YouTube channel of the Museum\nSession III\, 5pm to 7pm\, is a closed-door brainstorming meeting at newcleo\, Turin \nThe question of energy is among the most vital for the future of humanity and the multispecies flourishing of non-human and human life on earth. Castello di Rivoli Museo d’Arte Contemporanea presents a multi-disciplinary conference of art\, science and philosophy entitled Energy cultures. Energies\, imaginaries\, currencies\, and nuclear horizons of the planet to address the contradictions and unleash the disruptive and transformative properties of the energy flowing through artworks and scientific innovations. In an attempt to explore potential scenarios of energetic interspecies co-evolution\, the conference investigates living matter at the scale of its atoms\, their entanglement\, communication\, and interaction\, attempting to challenge the static postulates and imagined futures of energy. The conference\, which will be held on September 23\, will bring artists\, writers\, scientists\, philosophers\, and architects together for a morning session open to the public in the Theater of the Museum. In the afternoon\, they will continue their discussions in a private brainstorming session and meeting of minds at newcleo in downtown Turin\, an enterprise dedicated to innovative approaches to nuclear energy with an ecological focus. \n“newcleo supports and is co-hosting this event with Castello di Rivoli\,” states Director Carolyn Christov-Bakargiev\, “and I say this with full disclosure: the participants are not all supporters of nuclear energy as part of our future; some of them are highly skeptical. We will put the skeptics and the enthusiasts together and produce a chemical reaction – unleashing quite a bit of psychic energy in the room\, which I look forward to.” \nEnergy has shaped life on earth\, civilizations and societies throughout history\, from the pre-human photosynthetic conversion of solar power into plant biomass\, passing through the human-induced CO2-producing carbon fossil fuel including coal\, gas\, and oil\, to hydroelectricity achieved through damming\, up to the “very human” mid-20th century use of atomic energy through nuclear fission (the process by which neutrons released from atoms boil water used to generate electricity in turbines). Energy “makes the world go round.” Indeed\, it has been a subject of human investigation in the Global North and the Global South and in the indigenous worlds forever. The Greek term ἐνέργεια (energeia)\, adopted for the first time by Aristotle\, derives from the earlier use of the termἔργον (ergon) meaning “active\, working\,” preceded by en– which means “at” or “towards”. Already the pre-Socratic Heraclitus used the word Ergon (action or deed) and saw the universe in continuous change\, and fire as the primary source of action and creator of all life. \nEnergy is a universal currency\, made of a swirling of animal\, vegetal\, and physical forces. Nonetheless\, the current forms of human energy production and consumption are leading to world destruction. Clean energy is the foundation on which our future should rest\, but clean electricity still abundantly depends on storage and lithium-ion batteries\, which might soon be complemented by sodium ion batteries. How can we cope with the storage of energy? What about the excess of unexploited energy\, which accumulates as heat? How can we transmit it or make it become life for other bodies? In the massive-scale stockpiling of energy\, essential for our technological devices\, can we turn to plants as ‘hyperaccumulators’ and to practices such as agromining or phytomining to reduce greenhouse gas and water pollution\, which are byproducts of mineral extraction? As suggested by philosopher Emanuele Coccia\, what seems to happen nowadays is a shift of paradigms from the classic thermodynamic system – where the issue at stake is maintaining an equilibrium – to an alchemical one – where any living and non-living being is potentially able to store\, release\, and multiply the energy received. The contemporary political economy could be described as total cybernetics\, based on perpetual transformations of energy as currency into information and into capital\, while social energies\, mined like oil and gas with algorithms\, become part of the global energy market. \n“The current abandonment of fossil fuel energies and their gradual replacement by renewable energies\,” says artist Agnieszka Kurant\, “interestingly coincides with the dematerialization of money and its partial substitution with digital currencies\, the production of which is mostly dependent on energy. Traditional mining of fossil fuels and minerals is currently accompanied by the mining of cryptocurrencies on the blockchain—one of which was notably named ‘gas’. What is essential in the production of a crypto currency – a digital current generated through computers solving mathematical problems – is the energy to power the computer. Human labor is still indispensable here and performed by exploited workers at various mines\, extracting the rare Earth metals powering computers\, but due to its reliance on energy\, the production of capital through crypto-currency mining has become a race for the cheapest sources to power server farms. Such energy-intensive extractivist capital production in the Global North has environmental repercussions in the countries of the Global South.” \nIn the rampant drive to extract the last drop of energy from everything and everyone\, new forms of slavery have developed. As the global climate crisis forces us to decarbonize and wean ourselves off fossil-fuels\, what are the clean energy solutions to mitigate climate change? We have increased more ecological and sustainable water\, wind\, and sun-based energy production. Counter-intuitively\, recent research points also to new forms of nuclear energy produced using nuclear waste as fuel thus ridding the planet of radioactive waste. Researchers in the field argue that nuclear fission might co-support the future of clean energy systems globally. Yet\, even if nuclear energy has been statistically less impactful on the environment than fossil fuels\, the fear of nuclear accidents continues to be the main consideration when discussing this matter in science\, humanities\, and in art. Can this be caused by the association with weaponized nuclear energy through the continuous bomb testing\, which devastated both the environment and communities in places where atomic bomb tests have been frequent since the 1950s? \nAs the physical and psychic memory of radioactive waste is currently counterbalanced by the ecological pressure of a nuclear transition against climate collapse\, it is time to reinvent out usage of energy to serve sustainable development. Theorists posit that bioremediation – a branch of biotechnology that employs the use of living organisms\, such as microbes and bacteria\, in the removal of contaminants and toxins from soil\, water\, and other environments – is currently being set up as an ecological and economic alternative to traditional procedures of removal of radioactive waste.  It has been discovered that certain bacteria have the ability to interact with and absorb radioactive substances\, thereby potentially aiding in the cleanup and remediation of contaminated sites. \n“Seventy years of experience in operations of nuclear reactors” states Stefano Buono\, founder of newcleo\, “have now proven that it is even possible to employ the radioactive nuclear waste already existing from decommissioned nuclear fuel or bombs to produce nuclear energy for hundreds of years without extracting any further minerals such as uranium from the earth and do this at competitive costs. A nuclear reaction provides 1 million times more energy than any chemical reactions\, and finding ways of using this energy can provide what is needed for the generations to come without impacting our planet producing carbon dioxide which causes global warming.” \nBut how to negotiate and transform the longstanding dread of nuclear contamination – vividly feeding into the scenarios of science fiction\, nuclear disarmament movements and art movements such as Arte nucleare since the second half of the 20th century – nowadays magnified by the reiteration of war threats? Founded by the Italian artist Enrico Baj together with Sergio Dangelo and Gianni Bertini\, in Milan in 1951\, the group of Arte nucleare celebrated nuclear energy but also warned of the dangers of the misapplication of nuclear technology for the environment by detonating ‘heavy water’\, made from a novel technique of combining enamel paint and distilled water. An indirect continuity runs down to Arte povera in terms of sensibility towards the environmental backlash of positivistic science but also of the flux of energy blasting up from the earth\, clearly traceable in Gilberto Zorio’s work\, or works by other artists such as Giovanni Anselmo and Mario Merz. Embracing how the subatomic particles of the atom collide\, these artists manifested the energy latent in the world incorporating in their research the tension between nature and culture. Their experimentation is the prelude to contemporary artistic practices veering between climate breakdown\, more-than-human consciousness\, biological and computational energies. The nuclear sublime and nuclear melancholy traverse new works by artists today\, from Adrián Villar Rojas to Himali Singh Soin\, from Lea Porsager to Sophie Cundale and Renato Leotta. \nMuseums and art institutions\, such as Castello di Rivoli\, and artistic practices in general\, can contextualize contemporary political debates on climate and power and on a new nuclear transition. The conference Energy cultures. Energies\, imaginaries\, currencies\, and nuclear horizons of the planet prompts a collective reflection on factors that influence energy production\, circulation\, and consumption\, and opportunities for change in order to prepare for a future that has already arrived. What makes these considerations of energy particularly urgent is the context of the global energy crisis\, began in the aftermath of the COVID- 19 pandemic and exacerbated in Europe by the menace of an energy embargo due to the war in Ukraine. This has led to speculation\, shortages\, increased prices in oil\, gas\, and electricity markets and inflation. The energy crisis\, combined with the climate crisis\, is morphing into an ongoing phase where a lasting transition to non-carbon fossil fuel alternative energy sources is no longer an option. The issue of energy is to be also addressed considering those developing and emerging economies\, which currently face a two-fold energy challenge: meeting the needs of billions of people who still lack access to basic\, modern energy services while simultaneously participating in a transition to zero-carbon energy systems for the good of the entire planet. \nThe conveners of the program are Agnieszka Kurant and Carolyn Christov-Bakargiev.\nEvent organization by Giulia Colletti of Castello di Rivoli. \nParticipants: Paola Antonelli\, designer\, architect\, and curator; Stefano Buono\, nuclear physicist and co-founder of newcleo; Carolyn Christov-Bakargiev\, art historian\, Director Castello di Rivoli; Luciano Cinotti\, nuclear scientist; Emanuele Coccia\, philosopher; Beatriz Colomina\, architectural historian\, theorist\, curator; Kate Crawford\, artist and writer; Sophie Cundale\, artist; Agnieszka Kurant\, artist; Renato Leotta\, artist; Sam Lewitt\, artist; Michael Marder\, philosopher; Lea Porsager\, artist; Federico Ronchetti\, nuclear physicist and coordinator of Alice Run at CERN; Himali Singh Soin\, poet and artist; Bruce Sterling\, science fiction author; Ash Thorp\, digital artist\, graphic designer\, and creative director; Ersilia Vaudo\, astrophysicist; Adrián Villar Rojas\, artist; Mark Wigley\, architectural historian\, theorist\, curator; Gilberto Zorio\, artist. \nThe conference is supported and co-hosted by newcleo \n \nWith thanks to Stefano Buono for his support of the event \n  \nBIOGRAPHIES \n\n \nPaola Antonelli (Sassari\, 1963) is Senior Curator of the Department of Architecture and Design and Founding Director of Research and Development at MoMa New York.

Her books include X-Ray Architecture (Lars Müller Publishers\, 2019)\, Domesticity at War (The MIT Press\, 2007)\, and Privacy and Publicity: Modern Architecture as Media (The MIT Press\, 1996). In Are We Human? Notes on an Archeology of Design (Lars Müller Publishers\, 2016)\, Colomina and Mark Wigley explore ways in which humans have been radically redesigned by technologies. In this framework\, nuclear waste and distribution of nuclear energy are addressed in relationship with humans’ counterintuitive attitude of extinguishing themselves. In the wake of this\, a sense of urgency came over the design community and they researched the notion of survival through counter-design in the post-war era.  \n  \n \nKate Crawford (Sydney\, 1976) is a scholar focusing on the social implications of AI. Her work focuses on large-scale data systems and machine learning in the wider contexts of history and environment.

Her works have been featured in collective exhibitions MoMA; Centre Pompidou; Palais de Tokyo; Guggenheim Bilbao; CAPC Bordeaux; Kunsthalle Wien; Witte de With; Whitechapel Art Gallery; The Kitchen; Triennale di Milano\, among others. \n  \n \nThe research of Renato Leotta (Siracusa-Turin\, 1982) spans from photography\, to video and archival materials\, investigating the relationship between sea\, sky\, and land in an attempt to create a dialogue between the real and the ideal. Leotta won the Italian Council Edition X with CONCERTINO per il mare (2023)\, presented at Castello di Rivoli after his solo exhibition Sole (2020). He participated in the 17th Istanbul Biennial (2023) and was Italian Fellow in Visual Arts at the American Academy in Rome (2019). He recently presented the solo exhibition Sensibilità at Le Quai – Società delle Api\, Monaco (2023). His works have been presented in group exhibitions and biennials including Manifesta12; Gropius Bau Berlin; MAC São Paulo; Palazzo Fortuny Venice. He is co-founder of CRIPTA747 in Turin and Istituto Sicilia. \n  \n \n\nSam Lewitt (Los Angeles\, 1981) investigates systems of meaning—archives\, mediums of communication\, and technologies —as they are manifested materially\, framed by institutions\, and interpreted by subjects. Lewitt excavates industrial\, commercial\, and educational structures to uncover the conditions of their production and their relationship to the context in which they emerged. Works such as CURE (the Work)\, z33 House of Contemporary Art (2021); More Heat than Light\, Kunsthalle Basel and CCA Wattis (2016); and Stranded Assets\, the 57th Venice Biennale (2017); expand his inquiry into the metabolism of production and infrastructure. The latter emerges from a set of lamps found in the stairwell of the recently decommissioned Giuseppe Volpi thermoelectric power plant in Venice’s industrial port of Marghera. \n\n  \n \nMichael Marder (Moscow\, 1980) is Ikerbasque Research Professor of Philosophy at the University of the Basque Country\, UPV/EHU\, Vitoria-Gasteiz.

Marder is currently working on his forthcoming publication Metamorphoses Reimagined (Columbia University Press\, forthcoming in 2024).  \n  \n \nLea Porsager (Frederikssund\, 1981) is an artist who plays with quantum physics\, tantric practices\, and feminist theory. She interweaves fabulation and materialization within a variety of mediums\, including film\, sculpture\, and text. She was awarded the Mads Øvlisen Postdoc Fellowship (2023). Porsager’s research involves a collaboration with Arts at CERN\, for which she received an Honorary Mention for the Collide International Award (2018). Her earthwork and memorial Gravitational Ripples (2018) was inaugurated in Stockholm\, Sweden\, commemorating the Swedish lives lost in the 2004 tsunami in Southeast Asia. Her solo exhibitions have been presented at Kunsthal Charlottenborg\, Copenhagen (2021); Moderna Museet\, Stockholm (2020-21). She participated in dOCUMENTA (13) and the 14th Istanbul Biennial. Porsager is currently engaged in public art commissions across Denmark\, Norway\, and Sweden.   \n  \n \nFederico Ronchetti (Tivoli\, 1966) is a nuclear physicist at CERN specialized in the development\, production\, and operation of detectors for large HEP experiments. He has extensive experience with data acquisition systems\, hardware and software trigger systems\, and programming for scientific computing. He coordinated the data taking operations of the ALICE project at CERN in critical moments\, i.e.\, after the main upgrades of the detectors and the LHC accelerator. He is currently the technical coordinator at CERN of a parallel computing farm made up of 2800 GPU units used for the compression and synchronous processing of the data recorded by the ALICE detector. This is combined with his commitment to divulgation of science to the general public. \n  \n \nHimali Singh Soin (New Delhi\,1987) is an artist and writer creating metaphors from the natural environment and constructing speculative cosmologies that reveal non-linear entanglements between human and non-human life. She explores the myriad technologies of knowing\, from scientific to alchemical. Her inspirations include the ancient Stoics and contemporary literature\, travel diaries and ancient diagrams. She works across film\, spoken word\, performance\, epistolary poetry\, animation\, music\, ceramic and textile\, which allows her to interweave complex concepts and narratives together. Soin has performed and exhibited at The Art Institute of Chicago; Serpentine Galleries; Dhaka Art Summit\, Dhaka; Somerset House; HKW. She won the India Foundation for the Arts Award and the Frieze Artist Award. \n  \n \nBruce Sterling (Brownsville\, 1954) is a science fiction writer\, net critic\, and cyberspace theorist who emerged as a proponent of the subgenre known as steampunk. Along with William Gibson\, another one of the major figures of cyberpunk\, Bruce Sterling co-authored the novel The Difference Engine (Victor Gollancz Ltd\, 1990)\, forming an alternate—or speculative— history set in 1855 London\, which is anachronistically advanced. Signing with his pseudonym\, in 2015 he published an anthology of stories titled Utopia pirata – i racconti di Bruno Argento (Mondadori\, 2015) taking place in Turin\, where the hackers of parallel city converge or in Fiume\, where hackers attempt the conquest of the world in a tumultuous advance of countercultures. \n  \n \nAsh Thorp (Oceanside\, 1983) is a digital artist\, creative director\, and concept illustrator. He collaborates with the film industry\, experimenting with 3D modeling\, VFX\, motion graphics and contributing to movies such as Prometheus (2012); The Amazing Spider-Man 2 (2014); The Batman (2022); among others. He is also known for creating his own digital artworks\, unique 1/1 NFT short videos (usually circa 24’’ long) like Degradation (2021); the series  Evident Mirror (2021); short films\, such as Evinetta (2020);  the limited-run online multi-part short film Chimera (2023)\, and the new abstract short film Diamond Eye (2023); among others. In his most recent NFT series\, Nascent (2023)\, he questions the human condition in an era characterized by a rampant dependence on technology. Chimera unfolds at the intersection between disturbing accidents and uncanny encounters with aliens. Bending the time-space dimension\, Thorp plays with the allure of post-apocalyptic scenarios\, inviting the audience to engage with their inner fears and future imaginaries.  \n  \n \nErsilia Vaudo (Gaeta\, 1963) has a degree in Astrophysics and has been working at the European Space Agency since 1991. During her career\, she held various roles in the field of strategy\, and worked for several years at the ESA office in Washington DC\, where she was in charge of relations with NASA. She was the Curator of the XXII International Exhibition of the Milan Triennale on the theme Unknown Unknowns. An introduction to mysteries (2022). Ersilia Vaudo is President and co-founder of the association Il Cielo itinerante to promote STEM in areas where educational inclusion is lacking. She has recently published Mirabilis. Cinque intuizioni (più altre in arrivo) che hanno rivoluzionato la nostra idea di Universo (Einaudi\, 2023).   \n  \n \nAdrián Villar Rojas (Rosario\, 1980) conceives long term projects\, collectively and collaboratively produced that take the shape of large-scale and site-specific environments. Within his research and worldbuilding\, which mixes sculpture\, drawing\, video\, literature and performative traces\, Villar Rojas brings together the human and more-than-human realms while investigating the fragile and temporary nature of human civilization. His recent exhibitions include The End of Imagination\, Art Gallery of New South Wales\, Sydney (2022); El fin de la imaginación\, The Bass\, Miami (2022); Poems for Earthlings\, Oude Kerk\, Amsterdam (2019); The Theater of Disappearance\, The Geffen Contemporary at Moca\, Los Angeles (2017); NEON at Athens National Observatory\, Greece (2017); and have been presented at Kunsthaus Bregenz (2017); The Metropolitan Museum of Art (2017); among other institutions.  \n  \n \nMark Wigley (Palmerston North\, 1959) is Professor of Architecture at Columbia University. His books include Konrad Wachsmann’s Television: Post-Architectural Transmissions (Sternberg Press\, 2021)\, Cutting Matta-Clark: The Anarchitecture Investigation (Lars Müller Publishers\, 2018)\, and Buckminster Fuller Inc.: Architecture in the Age of Radio (Lars Müller Publishers\, 2015). In their landmark book Are We Human? Notes on an Archeology of Design (Lars Müller Publishers\, 2016)\, Wigley and Beatriz Colomina explored the way that the human species has always been continuously and radically redesigned by its technologies. In this frame\, the question of nuclear waste and the distribution of nuclear energy is addressed in relationship with the human species counterintuitive attitude of extinguishing itself – we essentially designed our own exit. In the wake of this\, a sense of urgency came over the design community\, and they researched the notion of survival through new kinds of design and counter-design in the post-war years. \n  \n \nGilberto Zorio (Andorno Micca\, 1944) is one of the artists associated with the movement formed in the mid-sixties in Italy\, Arte povera. Energy is constantly running through Zorio’s entire research and makes the matter of the works perpetually changeable. From 1967 to today\, Zorio has presented in solo exhibitions at the Kunstmuseum (1976); Stedelijk Museum (1979); Venice Biennale (1978\, 1980\, 1986\, 1995\, 1997); Kunstverein (1985); Center d’Art Contemporain of Geneva and Center Georges Pompidou (1986); Tel Aviv Museum and Stedelijk Van Abbemuseum (1987); Museu Serralves (1990); Documenta and Musèe d’Art Moderne et d’Art Contemporain (1992); Dia: Center for the Arts (2001); Milton Keynes Gallery (2008); MAMbo (2009); MACRO (2010); Rivoli Castle (2017); among other institutions.

SUMMARY:Energy cultures. Energies\, imaginaries\, currencies\, and nuclear horizons of the planet. A 21st-century meeting of artists\, scientists\, and philosophers.
DESCRIPTION:Saturday September 23\, 2023\nThe conference is jointly drafted by Carolyn Christov-Bakargiev\, Director of Castello di Rivoli\, and the artist Agnieszka Kurant\nSession I and II\, 10.00am to 12pm and 2pm to 4pm\, is open to the public\, takes place in the Castello di Rivoli theater\, and will be live streamed in the official YouTube channel of the Museum\nSession III\, 5pm to 7pm\, is a closed-door brainstorming meeting at newcleo\, Turin \nThe question of energy is among the most vital for the future of humanity and the multispecies flourishing of non-human and human life on earth. Castello di Rivoli Museo d’Arte Contemporanea presents a multi-disciplinary conference of art\, science and philosophy entitled Energy cultures. Energies\, imaginaries\, currencies\, and nuclear horizons of the planet to address the contradictions and unleash the disruptive and transformative properties of the energy flowing through artworks and scientific innovations. In an attempt to explore potential scenarios of energetic interspecies co-evolution\, the conference investigates living matter at the scale of its atoms\, their entanglement\, communication\, and interaction\, attempting to challenge the static postulates and imagined futures of energy. The conference\, which will be held on September 23\, will bring artists\, writers\, scientists\, philosophers\, and architects together for a morning session open to the public in the Theater of the Museum. In the afternoon\, they will continue their discussions in a private brainstorming session and meeting of minds at newcleo in downtown Turin\, an enterprise dedicated to innovative approaches to nuclear energy with an ecological focus. \n“newcleo supports and is co-hosting this event with Castello di Rivoli\,” states Director Carolyn Christov-Bakargiev\, “and I say this with full disclosure: the participants are not all supporters of nuclear energy as part of our future; some of them are highly skeptical. We will put the skeptics and the enthusiasts together and produce a chemical reaction – unleashing quite a bit of psychic energy in the room\, which I look forward to.” \nEnergy has shaped life on Earth\, civilizations and societies throughout history\, from the pre-human photosynthetic conversion of solar power into plant biomass\, passing through the human-induced CO2-producing carbon fossil fuel including coal\, gas\, and oil\, to hydroelectricity achieved through damming\, up to the “very human” mid-20th century use of atomic energy through nuclear fission (the process by which neutrons released from atoms boil water used to generate electricity in turbines). Energy “makes the world go round.” Indeed\, it has been a subject of human investigation in the Global North and the Global South and in the indigenous worlds forever. The Greek term ἐνέργεια (energeia)\, adopted for the first time by Aristotle\, derives from the earlier use of the term ἔργον (ergon) meaning “active\, working\,” preceded by en– which means “at” or “towards”. It was first used by Heraclitus and other pre-Socratic philosophers to connote fire as the primary source of action and the fundamental element of all life on Gaia\, or earth. \nEnergy is a universal currency\, made of a swirling of animal\, vegetal\, and physical forces. Nonetheless\, the current forms of human energy production and consumption are leading to world destruction. Clean energy is the foundation on which our future should rest\, but clean electricity still abundantly depends on storage and lithium-ion batteries\, which might soon be complemented by sodium ion batteries. How can we cope with the storage of energy? What about the excess of unexploited energy\, which accumulates as heat? How can we transmit it or make it become life for other bodies? In the massive-scale stockpiling of energy\, essential for our technological devices\, can we turn to plants as ‘hyperaccumulators’ and to practices such as agromining or phytomining to reduce greenhouse gas and water pollution\, which are byproducts of mineral extraction? As suggested by philosopher Emanuele Coccia\, what seems to happen nowadays is a shift of paradigms from the classic thermodynamic system – where the issue at stake is maintaining an equilibrium – to an alchemical one – where any living and non-living being is potentially able to store\, release\, and multiply the energy received. The contemporary political economy could be described as total cybernetics\, based on perpetual transformations of energy as currency into information and into capital\, while social energies\, mined like oil and gas with algorithms\, become part of the global energy market. \n“The current abandonment of fossil fuel energies and their gradual replacement by renewable energies\,” says artist Agnieszka Kurant\, “interestingly coincides with the dematerialization of money and its partial substitution with digital currencies\, the production of which is mostly dependent on energy. Traditional mining of fossil fuels and minerals is currently accompanied by the mining of cryptocurrencies on the blockchain—one of which was notably named ‘gas’. What is essential in the production of a crypto currency – a digital current generated through computers solving mathematical problems – is the energy to power the computer. Human labor is still indispensable here and performed by exploited workers at various mines\, extracting the rare Earth metals powering computers\, but due to its reliance on energy\, the production of capital through crypto-currency mining has become a race for the cheapest sources to power server farms. Such energy-intensive extractivist capital production in the Global North has environmental repercussions in the countries of the Global South.” \nIn the rampant drive to extract the last drop of energy from everything and everyone\, new forms of slavery have developed. As the global climate crisis forces us to decarbonize and wean ourselves off fossil-fuels\, what are the clean energy solutions to mitigate climate change? We have increased more ecological and sustainable water\, wind\, and sun-based energy production. Counter-intuitively\, recent research points also to new forms of nuclear energy produced using nuclear waste as fuel thus ridding the planet of radioactive waste. Researchers in the field argue that nuclear fission might co-support the future of clean energy systems globally. Yet\, even if nuclear energy has been statistically less impactful on the environment than fossil fuels\, the fear of nuclear accidents continues to be the main consideration when discussing this matter in science\, humanities\, and in art. Can this be caused by the association with weaponized nuclear energy through the continuous bomb testing\, which devastated both the environment and communities in places where atomic bomb tests have been frequent since the 1950s? \nAs the physical and psychic memory of radioactive waste is currently counterbalanced by the ecological pressure of a nuclear transition against climate collapse\, it is time to reinvent out usage of energy to serve sustainable development. Theorists posit that bioremediation – a branch of biotechnology that employs the use of living organisms\, such as microbes and bacteria\, in the removal of contaminants and toxins from soil\, water\, and other environments – is currently being set up as an ecological and economic alternative to traditional procedures of removal of radioactive waste.  It has been discovered that certain bacteria have the ability to interact with and absorb radioactive substances\, thereby potentially aiding in the cleanup and remediation of contaminated sites. \n“Seventy years of experience in operations of nuclear reactors” states Stefano Buono\, founder of newcleo\, “have now proven that it is even possible to employ the radioactive nuclear waste already existing from decommissioned nuclear fuel or bombs to produce nuclear energy for hundreds of years without extracting any further minerals such as uranium from the earth and do this at competitive costs. A nuclear reaction provides 1 million times more energy than any chemical reactions\, and finding ways of using this energy can provide what is needed for the generations to come without impacting our planet producing carbon dioxide which causes global warming.” \nBut how to negotiate and transform the longstanding dread of nuclear contamination – vividly feeding into the scenarios of science fiction\, nuclear disarmament movements and art movements such as Arte nucleare since the second half of the 20th century – nowadays magnified by the reiteration of war threats? Founded by the Italian artist Enrico Baj together with Sergio Dangelo and Gianni Bertini\, in Milan in 1951\, the group of Arte nucleare celebrated nuclear energy but also warned of the dangers of the misapplication of nuclear technology for the environment by detonating ‘heavy water’\, made from a novel technique of combining enamel paint and distilled water. An indirect continuity runs down to Arte povera in terms of sensibility towards the environmental backlash of positivistic science but also of the flux of energy blasting up from the earth\, clearly traceable in Gilberto Zorio’s work\, or works by other artists such as Giovanni Anselmo and Mario Merz. Embracing how the subatomic particles of the atom collide\, these artists manifested the energy latent in the world incorporating in their research the tension between nature and culture. Their experimentation is the prelude to contemporary artistic practices veering between climate breakdown\, more-than-human consciousness\, biological and computational energies. The nuclear sublime and nuclear melancholy traverse new works by artists today\, from Adrián Villar Rojas to Himali Singh Soin\, from Lea Porsager to Sophie Cundale and Renato Leotta. \nMuseums and art institutions\, such as Castello di Rivoli\, and artistic practices in general\, can contextualize contemporary political debates on climate and power and on a new nuclear transition. The conference Energy cultures. Energies\, imaginaries\, currencies\, and nuclear horizons of the planet prompts a collective reflection on factors that influence energy production\, circulation\, and consumption\, and opportunities for change in order to prepare for a future that has already arrived. What makes these considerations of energy particularly urgent is the context of the global energy crisis\, began in the aftermath of the COVID- 19 pandemic and exacerbated in Europe by the menace of an energy embargo due to the war in Ukraine. This has led to speculation\, shortages\, increased prices in oil\, gas\, and electricity markets and inflation. The energy crisis\, combined with the climate crisis\, is morphing into an ongoing phase where a lasting transition to non-carbon fossil fuel alternative energy sources is no longer an option. The issue of energy is to be also addressed considering those developing and emerging economies\, which currently face a two-fold energy challenge: meeting the needs of billions of people who still lack access to basic\, modern energy services while simultaneously participating in a transition to zero-carbon energy systems for the good of the entire planet. \nThe conveners of the program are Agnieszka Kurant\, artist; Carolyn Christov-Bakargiev\, museum director\, exhibition maker\, writer.

He is co-founder of CRIPTA747 in Turin and Istituto Sicilia. \n  \n \n\nSam Lewitt (Los Angeles\, 1981) investigates systems of meaning—archives\, mediums of communication\, and technologies —as they are manifested materially\, framed by institutions\, and interpreted by subjects. Lewitt excavates industrial\, commercial\, and educational structures to uncover the conditions of their production and their relationship to the context in which they emerged. Works such as CURE (the Work)\, z33 House of Contemporary Art (2021); More Heat than Light\, Kunsthalle Basel and CCA Wattis (2016); and Stranded Assets\, the 57th Venice Biennale (2017); expand his inquiry into the metabolism of production and infrastructure. The latter emerges from a set of lamps found in the stairwell of the recently decommissioned Giuseppe Volpi thermoelectric power plant in Venice’s industrial port of Marghera. \n\n  \n \nMichael Marder (Moscow\, 1980) is Ikerbasque Research Professor of Philosophy at the University of the Basque Country\, UPV/EHU\, Vitoria-Gasteiz.

Porsager is currently engaged in public art commissions across Denmark\, Norway\, and Sweden.   \n  \n \nFederico Ronchetti (Tivoli\, 1966) is a nuclear physicist at CERN specialized in the development\, production\, and operation of detectors for large HEP experiments. He has extensive experience with data acquisition systems\, hardware and software trigger systems\, and programming for scientific computing. He coordinated the data taking operations of the ALICE project at CERN in critical moments\, i.e.\, after the main upgrades of the detectors and the LHC accelerator. He is currently the technical coordinator at CERN of a parallel computing farm made up of 2800 GPU units used for the compression and synchronous processing of the data recorded by the ALICE detector. This is combined with his commitment to divulgation of science to the general public. \n  \n \nHimali Singh Soin (New Delhi\,1987) is an artist and writer creating metaphors from the natural environment and constructing speculative cosmologies that reveal non-linear entanglements between human and non-human life. She explores the myriad technologies of knowing\, from scientific to alchemical. Her inspirations include the ancient Stoics and contemporary literature\, travel diaries and ancient diagrams. She works across film\, spoken word\, performance\, epistolary poetry\, animation\, music\, ceramic and textile\, which allows her to interweave complex concepts and narratives together. Soin has performed and exhibited at The Art Institute of Chicago; Serpentine Galleries; Dhaka Art Summit\, Dhaka; Somerset House; HKW. She won the India Foundation for the Arts Award and the Frieze Artist Award. \n  \n \nBruce Sterling (Brownsville\, 1954) is a science fiction writer\, net critic\, and cyberspace theorist who emerged as a proponent of the subgenre known as steampunk. Along with William Gibson\, another one of the major figures of cyberpunk\, Bruce Sterling co-authored the novel The Difference Engine (Victor Gollancz Ltd\, 1990)\, forming an alternate—or speculative— history set in 1855 London\, which is anachronistically advanced. Signing with his pseudonym\, in 2015 he published an anthology of stories titled Utopia pirata – i racconti di Bruno Argento (Mondadori\, 2015) taking place in Turin\, where the hackers of parallel city converge or in Fiume\, where hackers attempt the conquest of the world in a tumultuous advance of countercultures. \n  \n \nAsh Thorp (Oceanside\, 1983) is a digital artist\, creative director\, and concept illustrator. He collaborates with the film industry\, experimenting with 3D modeling\, VFX\, motion graphics and contributing to movies such as Prometheus (2012); The Amazing Spider-Man 2 (2014); The Batman (2022); among others. He is also known for creating his own digital artworks\, unique 1/1 NFT short videos (usually circa 24’’ long) like Degradation (2021); the series  Evident Mirror (2021); short films\, such as Evinetta (2020);  the limited-run online multi-part short film Chimera (2023)\, and the new abstract short film Diamond Eye (2023); among others. In his most recent NFT series\, Nascent (2023)\, he questions the human condition in an era characterized by a rampant dependence on technology. Chimera unfolds at the intersection between disturbing accidents and uncanny encounters with aliens. Bending the time-space dimension\, Thorp plays with the allure of post-apocalyptic scenarios\, inviting the audience to engage with their inner fears and future imaginaries.  \n  \n \nErsilia Vaudo has a degree in Astrophysics and has been working at the European Space Agency since 1991. During her career\, she held various roles in the field of strategy\, and worked for several years at the ESA office in Washington DC\, where she was in charge of relations with NASA. She was the Curator of the XXII International Exhibition of the Milan Triennale on the theme Unknown Unknowns. An introduction to mysteries (2022). Ersilia Vaudo is President and co-founder of the association Il Cielo itinerante to promote STEM in areas where educational inclusion is lacking. She has recently published Mirabilis. Cinque intuizioni (più altre in arrivo) che hanno rivoluzionato la nostra idea di Universo (Einaudi\, 2023).   \n  \n \nAdrián Villar Rojas (Rosario\, 1980) conceives long term projects\, collectively and collaboratively produced that take the shape of large-scale and site-specific environments. Within his research and worldbuilding\, which mixes sculpture\, drawing\, video\, literature and performative traces\, Villar Rojas brings together the human and more-than-human realms while investigating the fragile and temporary nature of human civilization. His recent exhibitions include The End of Imagination\, Art Gallery of New South Wales\, Sydney (2022); El fin de la imaginación\, The Bass\, Miami (2022); Poems for Earthlings\, Oude Kerk\, Amsterdam (2019); The Theater of Disappearance\, The Geffen Contemporary at Moca\, Los Angeles (2017); NEON at Athens National Observatory\, Greece (2017); and have been presented at Kunsthaus Bregenz (2017); The Metropolitan Museum of Art (2017); among other institutions.  \n  \n \nMark Wigley (Palmerston North\, 1959) is Professor of Architecture at Columbia University. His books include Konrad Wachsmann’s Television: Post-Architectural Transmissions (Sternberg Press\, 2021)\, Cutting Matta-Clark: The Anarchitecture Investigation (Lars Müller Publishers\, 2018)\, and Buckminster Fuller Inc.: Architecture in the Age of Radio (Lars Müller Publishers\, 2015). In their landmark book Are We Human? Notes on an Archeology of Design (Lars Müller Publishers\, 2016)\, Wigley and Beatriz Colomina explored the way that the human species has always been continuously and radically redesigned by its technologies. In this frame\, the question of nuclear waste and the distribution of nuclear energy is addressed in relationship with the human species counterintuitive attitude of extinguishing itself – we essentially designed our own exit. In the wake of this\, a sense of urgency came over the design community\, and they researched the notion of survival through new kinds of design and counter-design in the post-war years. \n  \n \nGilberto Zorio (Andorno Micca\, 1944) is one of the artists associated with the movement formed in the mid-sixties in Italy\, Arte povera. Energy is constantly running through Zorio’s entire research and makes the matter of the works perpetually changeable. From 1967 to today\, Zorio has presented in solo exhibitions at the Kunstmuseum (1976); Stedelijk Museum (1979); Venice Biennale (1978\, 1980\, 1986\, 1995\, 1997); Kunstverein (1985); Center d’Art Contemporain of Geneva and Center Georges Pompidou (1986); Tel Aviv Museum and Stedelijk Van Abbemuseum (1987); Museu Serralves (1990); Documenta and Musèe d’Art Moderne et d’Art Contemporain (1992); Dia: Center for the Arts (2001); Milton Keynes Gallery (2008); MAMbo (2009); MACRO (2010); Rivoli Castle (2017); among other institutions.

SUMMARY:Nineteenth Giornata del Contemporaneo
DESCRIPTION:Castello di Rivoli Museo d’Arte Contemporanea participates in the Nineteenth Contemporary Art Day promoted by AMACI \nSaturday\, October 7\, 2023\, 11 am – 6 pm \nAlice Visentin\, winner of the first edition of the Collective Art Prize\, will be in conversation with Marcella Beccaria. The conversation will be introduced by Renata Novarese\, President of the Friends of the Rivoli Castle. Maria Adelaide Marchesoni\, President of Collective\, will join the event. \nTheater\, 5 pm \nCastello di Rivoli Museo d’Arte Contemporanea is part of the Nineteenth Giornata del Contemporaneo\, the major event promoted by AMACI – the Association of Italian Contemporary Art Museums – with the support of the General Directorate for Contemporary Creativity of the Ministry of Culture and the collaboration of the General Directorate for Public and Cultural Diplomacy of the Ministry of Foreign Affairs and International Cooperation\, and the patronage of the Conference of Regions and Autonomous Provinces\, UPI – Union of Italian Provinces\, ANCI – National Association of Italian Municipalities\, and ICOM Italy. \nOn Saturday\, October 7\, 2023\, the public will be able to visit the Museum\, exhibitions\, and participate in initiatives organized to celebrate the Nineteenth Giornata del Contemporaneo. \nOn the occasion of Nineteenth Giornata del Contemporaneo\, the Museum is organizing a conversation with the artist Alice Visentin\, winner of the first edition of the Collective International Art Prize for the Rivoli Castle\, and Marcella Beccaria\, Deputy Director\, Chief Curator and Curator of Collections\, Vice President of AMACI. The conversation will be introduced by Renata Novarese\, President of the Friends of the Rivoli Castle. Maria Adelaide Marchesoni\, President of Collective\, the Italian association of contemporary art collectors established in 2019\, will also join the event. \nThe event will take place in the Museum Theater at 5 pm. \nThe conversation will be an opportunity to present the Collective Prize for the first time. The biennial initiative in 2022 allowed the entry into the Museum’s permanent collection\, as a donation from Collective members\, of the work “Banda di fiori (Notturno)\,” 2021\, by Alice Visentin. Rooted deeply in her native territory\, Visentin’s art draws inspiration from oral traditions\, fragments of history\, and fantastical elements. “Banda di fiori (Notturno)” is an important series of paintings composed of 5 canvases. Emerging from the darkness of night\, the flowers depicted in each canvas become a “metaphor for the human condition\, connected to the physical and transcendental universe. Through the natural image of flowers and the night\, both archetypes and symbols of a collective unconscious\,” the artist states\, “I imagined the roots descending into the earth\, while leaves and petals extend upwards\, towards star-filled skies. Among the stems\, leaves\, and petals\, plants offer us tiny phrases and words as if they were oracles or advice.” \nLocated on the third floor of the Museum\, the exhibition Artists in a Time of War: From Francisco Goya to Salvador Dalí\, Pablo Picasso\, Lee Miller\, Zoran Mušič\, Alberto Burri\, Fabio Mauri\, Bracha L. Ettinger\, Anri Sala\, Michael Rakowitz\, Dinh Q. Lê\, Vu Giang Huong\, Rahraw Omarzad\, and Nikita Kadan\, curated by Carolyn Christov-Bakargiev and Marianna Vecellio\, presents over 140 works by 39 artists created by those who were or are in war. Empathetic and poignant\, they express discomfort but also great humanity. The exhibition takes inspiration from Desastres de la Guerra (The Disasters of War)\, 1810-1815\, by Francisco José de Goya y Lucientes and explores the theme of war and post-traumatic subjectivity through historical works and new projects by important contemporary artists. “Artists at War” includes loans from significant Italian and international public and private institutions\, as well as two new commissions: unpublished works created for the occasion by Afghan artist Rahraw Omarzad (Kabul\, 1964) and Ukrainian artist Nikita Kadan (Kiev\, 1982). Both artists share a practice linked to cultural promotion\, offering a message of great emotional\, human\, social\, and political impact. Originating from conflict scenarios and profound geopolitical changes\, their practices invite us to reflect on the importance of finding narratives of care and peace in creative expression. \nThe exhibition Renato Leotta: CONCERTINO per il mare\, located in the north tower on the second floor of the Museum\, presents for the first time in Italy the project that won the Italian Council Edition X\, an international competition promoted by the General Directorate for Contemporary Creativity of the Ministry of Culture in support of Italian contemporary creativity. The project CONCERTINO per il mare is rooted in the observation of the Mediterranean seabed ecosystem. Proposing a possible form of interspecies communication\, it attempts to translate the internal structure of Posidonia oceanica leaves into a musical score to be performed as a concert audible to the human ear. Bringing attention to the vital importance of an endangered ecosystem\, CONCERTINO per il mare invites us to listen to stories of migration\, adaptation\, encounters\, and struggles for the survival of Posidonia through time\, from a distant past to an uncertain future. The work was first presented in September 2022 at the 17th Istanbul Biennial\, where it was installed in the Hammam Çinili\, a 16th-century Ottoman building. \nA comprehensive artistic project\, including an extensive research phase across multiple Mediterranean coastal sites\, CONCERTINO per il mare has generated a sound installation\, experimental photographic works\, and Ondina\, a concert-opera. On display at the Museum\, will be the sound installation curated by Marcella Beccaria and presented for the first time in dialogue with a series of photographic prints created by the artist using experimental techniques. As part of the project\, Ondina: Concert per il mare in tre movimenti\, curated by Marianna Vecellio\, will be performed by the Turin Philharmonic Orchestra\, conducted by Giampaolo Pretto. The live concert will take place at the Concert Hall of the Giuseppe Verdi State Conservatory of Music in Turin (Saturday\, November 4\, 9 pm)\, following its debut in September 2022 with musicians from the Borusan Istanbul Philharmonic Orchestra during the opening days of the Istanbul Biennial.

SUMMARY:Arte povera. Notes for History
DESCRIPTION:On the occasion of the opening of the exhibition Michelangelo Pistoletto. Molti di uno (Many of One)\, Castello di Rivoli premieres the docufilm Arte povera: Notes for History\, aired on Sky Arte and on demand on November 28\, 2023. \nDirected by Andrea Bettinetti and narrated by Giuseppe Cederna\, Arte povera: Notes for History is a collaboration between Michele Bongiorno (Good Day Films) and Sky Arte\, with support from Gruppo Unipol\, Azimut\, the Giancarlo and Danna Olgiati Collection\, Christian Stein Gallery\, and the Film Commission Torino. Featuring an unpublished conversation with Germano Celant held in 2019 at the Fondazione Prada in Ca’ Corner\, Venice\, it also includes interviews with Giulio Paolini\, Giuseppe Penone\, Michelangelo Pistoletto\, Gilberto Zorio\, Pier Paolo Calzolari\, Giovanni Anselmo\, Michelle Coudray\, Lia Rumma\, Antonio Tucci Russo\, Fabio Sargentini\, Carolyn Christov-Bakargiev\, Beatrice Merz\, Silvia Fabro\, Paolo Mussat Sartor\, Gianfranco Benedetti\, and Giorgio Colombo. \nFirst comes the human being and then the system\, or that’s how it was in antiquity. Today\, however\, society presumes to make pre-packaged human beings\, ready for consumption. Anyone can propose reform\, criticize\, violate\, and demystify\, but always with the obligation to remain within the system. It is forbidden to be free. This is the incipit of Arte povera. Notes on a guerrilla war\, a manifesto by Germano Celant published in Flash Art number 5 in 1967. It marked a radical departure from traditional art\, advocating for a guerrilla-style movement\, rejecting formal techniques and embracing humble materials like earth\, wood\, iron\, and industrial waste. \nIt is a radical criticism that uses the language of contemporary society and also resorts to the use of installation and performative work. Celant’s intuition facilitates the aggregation of artists with different sensibilities\, who individually experiment with their own language under a feeling strongly opposed to the cultural hegemony of the moment. \nThe relevance of Arte povera poetics comes to life in the docufilm presented on November 1st at Castello di Rivoli and then broadcasted on November 28th on Sky Arte and on demand. The 90-minute docufilm\, directed by Andrea Bettinetti\, is a work on what is considered the most important contribution to post-war art in Italy. The ambitious project was born from an idea by Michele Bongiorno of Good Day Films. «We created an unprecedented project – the producer states in an interview to la Lettura – which required unthinkable commitment and energy\, but the result is truly remarkable. An effort that lasted more than three years\, which generated an incredible amount of documents and allowed us to rediscover wonderful archive material.” \nInitially Michele Bongiorno contacted Germano Celant and proposed a film-story in which the critic would retrace the history of the movement firsthand. Together they wrote the story and conducted a couple of interviews\, but a few months later\, at the beginning of 2020\, the exceptional nature of the events due to the pandemic and the sudden death of the art critic put the work on hold. The project had to be modified: no longer a trip with Celant but rather starting from his last interview\, to then collect the voices of the protagonists to make a choral work\, a meticulous report that traces its history from 1967 to today. \nThe film sheds lights on the innovative aspect of the movement and the irreverent strength of a group of young artists who stir up the cultural world\, profoundly impacting the growth of contemporary art. «The voice of Giuseppe Cederna accompanies us through the studios and foundations\, the galleries and museums that host the most important collections – states Bongiorno –\, from Rivoli to the Magazzino Italian Art Museum in New York\, in a long fascinating conversation with the protagonists of this extraordinary artistic research.” \nEveryone has followed a path of experimentation and individual growth such as to think that the heart of the movement is a set of artistic propulsions similar to each other\, not for the language chosen but for an attitude. Michelangelo Pistoletto (1933) with the Mirror Paintings invents a new perspective dimension; Mario Merz (1925-2003) uses the shape of the igloo which reminds us of the primordial stage of man immersed in nature; Marisa Merz (1926-2019)\, the only woman of the movement\, creates weaves with copper and nylon threads and organic and subtle\, delicate and light works; Pino Pascali (1935-1968)\, in his short life\, proposed in a playful way the elements of his Mediterranean roots\, the fields\, the sea\, the land\, the animals; Giuseppe Penone (1947) uses unusual materials for his sculptures\, tree trunks\, lead\, copper and more; Gilberto Zorio (1944) creates sculptures with a strong symbolic impact in which the star and the javelin are recurring\, representing the metaphysical world and death; Giulio Paolini (1940) crosses a conceptual dimension that tends towards the classical tradition inspired by “beauty”; Alighiero Boetti (1940-1994)\, ranges without borders from tapestries to postal works\, to ballpoint pens\, to inks\, in the belief that there are no rules for creating a work of art. But it is impossible to mention them all here. \nThe city of Turin\, where almost all the artists come from\, played a pivotal role for the movement\, as an industrial capital providing the humus and motivations for dissent and protest. Sensitive to the artistic avant-garde\, Christian Stein Gallery played a fundamental role in understanding the extent of the phenomenon of Arte povera and accompanied it into the art market. \nProduced by Michele BONGIORNO\nProduced for Sky by Roberto PISONI\, Dino VANNINI\, Gaia PASETTO\nNarrated by Giuseppe CEDERNA\nOriginal music Fabio BAROVERO\nPhotography Massimo SCHIAVON\nMovie editing Giovanna FERRARA\nScientific advice Antonella SOLDAINI\nColorist Fabio COLOMBO\nIconographic research Francesca LACROCE\nSound Roberto REMORINO\, Simone BRIZIO \nProduction Sky Original \n \nGood Day Films by Andrea Bettinetti \n \nThe docufilm was aired on Sky Arte

SUMMARY:Castello di Rivoli at Artissima | Carolyn Christov-Bakargiev Curator of the exhibition Michelangelo Pistoletto. Molti di uno (Many of One)\, in conversation with the artist
DESCRIPTION:Friday November 3  4\,30 pm  – Meeting Point \nCarolyn Christov-Bakargiev\, Castello di Rivoli Museo d’Arte Contemporanea Director and Curator of the exhibition Michelangelo Pistoletto. Molti di uno (Many of One)\, in conversation with the artist \nThe conversation will be held in Italian \nCarolyn Christov-Bakargiev with the artist will introduce the exhibition Michelangelo Pistoletto. Molti di uno (Many of one)\, set up in the Castello di Rivoli Manica Lunga\, a large unpublished work that acts as a device through which to reread Pistoletto’s art (Biella\, 1933). Among the artists who redefined the concept of art starting from the mid-sixties of the last century\, Pistoletto questioned the concept of personal identity from the first half of the fifties and took the path of the self-portrait as an emblematic expression of his thought. In 1961 he painted his first mirror painting Il presente (The Present) in which his self-portrait stands out against a black background obtained with very shiny acrylic paint which makes it reflective. This work opens up to life as an exchange of relationships and perspectives\, determining a new space-time dimension. For Pistoletto\, overcoming the boundaries marked by the pictorial dimension represents the opening to a landscape that overlooks the contemporaneity of existence. \n  \n \nCarolyn Christov-Bakargiev \nCastello di Rivoli Museo d’Arte Contemporanea Director and Artistic Director  Fondazione Francesco Federico Cerruti \nPhoto Andrea Guermani \n  \n \nMichelangelo Pistoletto \nPhoto Pierluigi Di Pietro \n  \nMichelangelo Pistoletto \nVenere degli stracci (Venus of the Rags)\, 1967 \nreproduction of Venus in cement covered in mica\, rags \nVenus\,  installation\, 150 x 280 x 100 cm \nFondazione per l’Arte Moderna e Contemporanea CRT \non loan to Castello di Rivoli Museo d’Arte Contemporanea\, Rivoli-Torino \n  \n
