From 29 April 2021 it will be possible to receive a vaccination against Covid-19 at Castello di Rivoli Museo d\u2019Arte Contemporanea. Vaccinations will be administered in the galleries of the Claudia Comte<\/strong> exhibition on the third floor of the museum.
\nFor information on Covid-19 vaccination and to join the vaccination campaign, please Link<\/a> .<\/p>\n

In recent months, the Castello di Rivoli Museum of Contemporary Art, in collaboration with the City of Rivoli<\/strong> and the Piedmont Region local health service, the Asl To3<\/strong>, has undertaken a pilot project to allocate the museum\u2019s vast gallery spaces as a location for vaccinations in support of the National Covid-19 Vaccination Plan in synergy with Cultura Italiae,<\/em> which proposed the reopening of cultural spaces as vaccination centers for the protection of citizens\u2019 health. Since the first hospitals, art has always also been connected to care, an experience that includes and involves, that processes trauma and combines cultural well-being with physical well-being. Castello di Rivoli, a cultural space devoted to openness and plurality, is ideally suited to providing a community service and to hosting Covid-19 vaccinations. Occupying a former baroque royal palace,<\/p>\n

the museum\u2019s large,\u00a0open spaces are well-designed for social distancing and the museum is implementing all the necessary health and sanitation measures mandated by the current situation (including taking visitors\u2019 temperatures on entry and limiting visitor numbers.)<\/p>\n

The vaccination center is set up in the galleries on the third floor of the museum where the Claudia Comte. How To Grow and Still Stay The Same Shape<\/em> mural exhibition is currently underway. Claudia Comte (Grancy, 1983), starting from the observation of nature and its changing patterns, creates large environmental installations on the gallery walls that incorporate the world from the perspective of the digital experience. For her exhibition at Castello di Rivoli, the artist created monumental mural interventions specially designed for the rooms of the historic residence that develop according to geometric modules repeated in the space through which Comte creates an enveloping and vibrant optical environment. To accompany the vaccinations, the artist has specially created a new soothing sound artwork<\/strong> that will be broadcast in the spaces from 29 April. While in the museum\u2019s vaccination center, people will be able to listen to the sound work The Pattern Connects<\/em><\/strong><\/a>, 2021, composed by the artist with the collaboration of Egon Elliut (sound, 41\u201926\u201d, Courtesy the artist and Castello of Rivoli Museo d\u2019Arte Contemporanea).<\/p>\n

The project is the result of a wide-ranging collaboration. The Castello di Rivoli Museo d\u2019Arte Contemporanea, the Piedmont Region and the City of Rivoli all contributed to the project.<\/p>\n

Francesca Lavazza<\/strong>, the newly appointed President of Castello di Rivoli, comments: \u201cI am pleased that Castello di Rivoli has made its spaces available as vaccination hub for its community. This initiative, launched by the Director Carolyn Christov-Bakargiev with the approval of the Board of Directors, underlines the civic value of places with public functions \u2013 such as our museum \u2013 in putting themselves at the service of the community, sending a message of solidarity at a challenging moment, such as the one we are experiencing.\u201d<\/p>\n

The Director of the Castello di Rivoli, Carolyn Christov-Bakargiev<\/strong>, states: \u201cArt has always contributed to the care of society – it is no coincidence that some of the first museums in the world were formerly hospitals. We would now like to return the favor, so to speak, by making the rooms of the Castello di Rivoli available for the national vaccination plan. Our baroque spaces are large enough to house a safe vaccination center; our staff are welcoming and well trained in monitoring the public. But above all, this is a commitment to create an accessible place at the service of the community. Our buildings can continue to serve this purpose and fulfill our mission – art heals. We invited the artist Claudia Comte to take this journey towards health with us. I thank her for her sensitivity and creative generosity.\u201d<\/p>\n

Artist Claudia Comte<\/strong> states: \u201cFor the vaccination center at Castello di Rivoli our aim, with composer Egon Elliut, was to create an audiovisual experience akin to a daydream, something that was above all calming and welcoming. There are several chapters that make up the soundscape and each represents, rhythmically, the natural realm of flora and fauna. The process involved creating sounds that give an impression of a sentient thing, for example the humming of a jellyfish propelling itself through seawater and the soft gentle grunts of a herd of deer. Oscillating between electronic sound to more classical influences, the soundscape also incorporates field recordings taken from nature, the sound of the ocean can be heard in varying depths and pulses for example. Mimicking the soundscape are the patterns in the wall paintings which visitors will experience in unison for the first time, these immersive works wrap around all twelve walls of the upper gallery floor. I hope that people feel they are entering an inviting and calming environment, and that even some joy can be gleaned by seeing and experiencing this work while waiting to receive this very important vaccine.\u201d<\/p>\n

From Thursday 29 April to Saturday 1 May people who come to get vaccinated will have exclusive access to the museum, while from Thursday 6 May the Castello di Rivoli will also reopen to the public and, to mark the occasion, the painting Narcissus<\/em><\/strong>, 1597-1599, by Caravaggio<\/strong> on loan from the Gallerie Nazionali di Arte Antica in Rome will be installed in the Manica Lunga wing as part of the Espressioni<\/em> and Anne Imhof. Sex<\/em> exhibitions.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
