The Museum\u2019s holdings: projects, special itineraries <\/em>and recent acquisitions<\/em><\/p>\n

curated by Beatrice Merz<\/p>\n

The Museum: the walls, ceilings and wings that are the signs of the unfulfilled dream of Victor Amadeus II and of his architect, are often the exorcised evidence \u2013 decayed by time and history \u2013 of other artists who worked in the Castello\u2019s rooms when it was a royal residence. Today, they offer a challenge for contemporary artists willing to confront themselves and explore their capacity and willingness to go beyond physical, conceptual and political barriers, and prophetically overcome the logic of distance and separation. In the interpretation of art, walls erected to separate are used as elements of extreme communication, places and epiphanies of painful situations of cohabitation, conflict or oppression, of hope or disquiet. The blocks and walls can be mental, physical, cultural or economic. Through personal itineraries that cross and meet, Beyond the wall<\/em><\/strong> offers not only a fresh view of the collection but also of the very role of the Museum in contemporary society. A sort of game upsets the roles of curator and visitor, leading the latter to seek the key to establish a discourse between the works and concept of limit, frontier, place and memory.<\/p>\n
