Il Castello di Rivoli Museo d’Arte Contemporanea, grazie a un accordo di collaborazione con la Fondazine Francesco Federico Cerruti, è il primo museo d’arte contemporanea ad affiancare alle sue collezioni una raccolta enciclopedica del passato. La Villa Cerruti, a cinque minuti a piedi dal Castello di Rivoli, aprirà al pubblico il 2 gennaio 2019.
Una collezione privata di altissimo pregio frutto della vita discreta e riservata di Francesco Federico Cerruti (Genova, 1922 – Torino, 2015), imprenditore scomparso nel 2015 all’età di 93 anni. Quasi trecento opere scultoree e pittoriche che spaziano dal medioevo al contemporaneo, con libri antichi, legatorie, fondi d’oro, e più di trecento mobili e arredi tra i quali tappeti e scrittoi di celebri ebanisti. Capolavori che vanno dalle opere di Sassetta, Bernardo Daddi e Pontormo a quelle di Renoir, Modigliani, Kandinsky, Klee, Boccioni, Balla e Magritte, per arrivare a Bacon, Burri, Warhol, De Dominicis e Paolini.

Gilberto Zorio - Opening 1.11.2017
curated by Marcella Beccaria
Castello di Rivoli presents a major retrospective devoted to the work of Gilberto Zorio (b. Andorno Micca, 1944), a contemporary art pioneer and a key member of Arte Povera. Curated by Marcella Beccaria and developed in dialogue with the artist himself, this exhibition includes new installations together with historical works, spanning over 50 years of the artist’s career.
This comprehensive and innovative presentation features some of Zorio’s most important works from his early days, including historical installations jealously guarded by the artist in his own private collection. These rare pieces will be presented to the public alongside other works from various collections and those from the Museum’s permanent collection. New site-specific installations conceived by Zorio for the third floor of the Castello will be exhibited for the first time. Different conditions of light and shadow orchestrated by the artist will present two sensuous scenarios of perception.
Zorio’s works are unending fields of physical and mental energy.
Donna De Salvo, Andy Warhol. From A to B and Back Again @Castello di Rivoli
- ENGLISH BELOW -
Il Castello di Rivoli Museo d’Arte Contemporanea ospita, nell’ambito della mostra Andy Warhol. Due capolavori dalla Collezione di Francesco Federico Cerruti a cura di Fabio Belloni, una conferenza di Donna De Salvo, Deputy Director for International Initiatives e Senior curator presso il Whitney Museum of American Art di New York, tra le maggiori studiose ed esperte del lavoro di Andy Warhol.
De Salvo, curatrice della mostra retrospettiva Andy Warhol — From A to B and Back Again in corso al Whitney Museum of American Art, discuterà della carriera dell’artista, dell’eredità e della costante influenza della sua opera nel contemporaneo. Servendosi della mostra come punto di partenza, la conferenza affronterà gli aspetti meno conosciuti del percorso di Warhol, guardando ai rivoluzionari esperimenti su pellicola, al suo impegno nella lettura della storia dell’arte così come delle nuove tecnologie, fino al suo persistente interesse per l’astrazione.
Andy Warhol — From A to B and Back Again è la più grande mostra monografica ad oggi realizzata, comprendendo più di 350 opere, molte delle quali esposte insieme per la prima volta. In corso al Whitney Museum of American Art fino al 31 marzo 2019, la mostra sarà successivamente presentata al Museum of Modern Art di San Francisco e all’Art Institute di Chicago.
De Salvo sarà inoltre in conversazione con Carolyn Christov-Bakargiev per discutere del particolare legame che unisce Andy Warhol alla poetica e alla storia del protagonista della pittura metafisica, Giorgio de Chirico.

The Castello di Rivoli Museo d’Arte Contemporanea organized, in the context of the exhibition Andy Warhol. Two masterpieces from the collection of Francesco Federico Cerruti curated by Fabio Belloni, a lecture by Donna De Salvo, Deputy Director for International Initiatives and Senior curator at the Whitney Museum of American Art in New York, one of the greatest scholars and experts in the work of Andy Warhol.
Donna De Salvo, senior curator of the Whitney Museum of American Art’s current retrospective Andy Warhol — From A to B and Back Again, will discuss Warhol’s career and legacy, and his enduring relevance in the 21st century. Taking the exhibition as an entry point, this lecture will delve into lesser-known aspects of the artist’s career, including his groundbreaking experiments in film, his engagement with the history of art as well as with new technologies, and his sustained interest in abstraction.
Andy Warhol — From A to B and Back Again is the largest monographic exhibition to date at Whitney’s new location, with more than 350 works of art, many assembled together for the first time. It is currently on view at the Whitney until March 31, 2019, before traveling to the San Francisco Museum of Modern Art and the Art Institute of Chicago. Donna De Salvo will be in conversation with Carolyn Christov-Bakargiev to discuss the particular bond that brings together Andy Warhol and the poetics and the history of the protagonist of metaphysical painting, Giorgio de Chirico.
Rosi Braidotti: What is the Human in the Humanities Today?
On Saturday May 11 at 4.00 p.m., Castello di Rivoli Museum of Contemporary Art hosts a lecture by Rosi Braidotti, theoretician with expertise in gender studies, epistemology and Post-structuralism.
As a Distinguished Professor and Founder Director of Centre for the Humanities at University of Utrecht, Braidotti focuses on theoretical, social, and political implications of Post-humanism. Considering it as a phase of human history that questions anthropocentrism in favor of a pluralistic attitude towards other organisms, Post-humanism may be a trigger to dismantle hegemonic visions, to re-shape species interaction, and to imagine new forms of collective knowledge.
Taking the cue from Braidotti’s latest publications, the lecture explores ethical and political issues in relation to life and death, with a particular focus on global power dynamics. Braidotti points our relationship with the technology, the environment, and other organisms, championing creative thinking as a catalyst for human improvement.
Rosi Braidotti: Born in Friuli, Italy; grew up in Australia ( B.A. Hons. Australian National University, 1978; Ph.D. Cum Laude,); received her doctorate in France (Université de Paris, Panthéon-Sorbonne, 1981). Currently Distinguished University Professor and founding Director of the Centre for the Humanities at Utrecht University (2007-2016). Previously founding professor and director of women’s studies. She was a Fellow Institute for Advanced Study, Princeton (1994-5); held the Jean Monnet Fellowships at the European University Institute ( 2000-1). She holds Honorary Degrees from the University of Helsinki, 2007; and the University of Linkoping, 2013. In 2005 she received a Knighthood in the Order of the Netherlands Lion, 2005; was elected Honorary Fellow of the Australian Academy of the Humanities (FAHA), 2009 and Member of the Academia Europaea (MAE), 2014. Her books include Patterns of Dissonance, Polity Press, 1991; Nomadic Subjects, Columbia University Press, 1994 and 2011a (second ed.); Metamorphoses, Polity Press, 2002; Transpositions, Polity Press, 2006; La philosophie, lá où on ne l’attend pas, Larousse, 2009; Nomadic Theory. The Portable Rosi Braidotti, ColumbiaUniversity Press, 2011b; The Posthuman, Polity Press, 2013 and Posthuman Knowledge, Polity Press, 2019. In 2016 she co-edited with Paul Gilroy: Conflicting Humanities, Bloomsbury Academic and in 2018 with Maria Hlavajova: The Posthuman Glossary. Personal website: rosibraidotti.com

Tuesday, 6 March 2018, 10 am to 5 pm
Castello di Rivoli Museo d’Arte Contemporanea, Conference Hall

All the beauties of Piedmont are summarized and celebrated in its regional capital. Roman (the Porte Palatine remind its origins), then Romanesque, Baroque and up to modern days architecture. There aremore than 40museums hosting precious things, which are often unique specimens in Italy and abroad. The EgyptianMuseumis the second most important museum in the world after the one in Cairo. The Museo Nazionale del Cinema [NationalMuseumof Cinema] is one of a kind, with a vertical structure (3,200 sq. metres on 5 floors) in themagical setting of theMole Antonelliana that, with its audacious 167-metre height, is the symbol of this city in the world.
Turin is the European capital of Baroque, which marked the city's cultural flourishing (Palazzo Carignano, Piazza San Carlo - the city'smeeting point, the San Lorenzo and San Filippo churches) and characterizes its surroundings (the Royal Residences, the Reggia di Venaria, the Castello di Rivoli...); but the city is also Art Nouveau, the floral style that embellishes the city's elegant districts the villas under the hills and, above all, the cafés where the high life has been enjoyed since the 1800s. It was the capital of Italy, and today it is the city of contemporary art and design, where themost important architects in the world create cutting edge urban projects.
The Savoy monarchy was mainly warlike, but the use ofweaponswas alwaysmatched by a passion for art, theatre,music, parks and gardens. The court hosted architects, painters and people of letters; it organized superb parties and hunting events: exclusive leisure activities that became a point of reference for European aristocrats. There are 15 Savoy Residences -UNESCO WorldHeritage Sites - and they represent an important cultural route: five of themare in the city (Palazzo Reale, PalazzoMadama, Palazzo Carignano, Castello del Valentino and Villa della Regina), the others are in the surroundings, (e.g., the StupinigiHunting Lodge, the castles of Rivoli - hosting the importantMuseumof Contemporary Art, Moncalieri, Agliè and, of course, the Reggia di Venaria). The residences were completed around themiddle 18th Century and are also known as the delightful crown as they surround Turin like a ring.
There aremany facets that are the ingredients of its charm. Turin means museums, music, cinema, culture, art and spirit; but also antiques, bibliophily, and shopping. But Turin is also sweet - with its chocolate, pastries andmany other unique delicacies such as bicerin, cakes and candies - as well as savoury, with the traditional aperitif rite and typical recipes. The local cuisine has become a worldwide famous feature. The research for often unique ingredients, always natural, the creativity and ability of cooks, confectioners and chocolate makers are the basis of the local culture and passion for good food, which is represented by the many trattorias as well as luxury restaurants.

Anna Gaskell
Anna Gaskell was born in Des Moines, Iowa, on October 22, 1969. She studied at Bennington College for two years before attending the Art Institute of Chicago, where she received a B.F.A. in 1992; she received an M.F.A. from Yale University in 1995. Gaskell's early photographs were self-portraits, but she soon began photographing girls as they collectively acted out stories, often embodying characters reminiscent of Alice from Alice in Wonderland. In her wonder (1996--97) and override (1997) series, groups of girls dressed in matching uniforms are shown in ambiguous and ominous situations. Her series hide (1998) evokes a Brothers Grimm tale of a young woman who disguises herself under an animal pelt so that she might escape her own father's proposal of marriage; Gaskell set this story in a gothic mansion illuminated by candlelight. Recently, she has been incorporating the history of specific sites into her works' narratives; in the photographs and short film that comprise half life (2002), for example, the artist portrayed the former residence of Dominique de Menil as a sort of haunted house.
Gaskell's first solo exhibition was at Casey Kaplan Gallery in New York in 1997; she has since exhibited at the Museum of Contemporary Art in Miami (1998), White Cube in London (1999 and 2002), Aspen Art Museum in Aspen, Colorado (2000), Castello di Rivoli in Rivoli, Italy (2001), and the Menil Collection in Houston (2002). She has also participated in Sightings at the Institute of Contemporary Arts in London (1998), Photography Past/Forward: Aperture at 50 at Burden Gallery in New York (2002), and Moving Pictures at the Solomon R. Guggenheim Museum and Guggenheim Museum Bilbao. She received the Citibank Private Bank Photography Prize in 2000 and a Nancy Graves Foundation grant in 2002. She lives and works in New York.

LEHMANN MAUPIN GALLERY - Robin Rhode
Lehmann Maupin Gallery is pleased to present Robin Rhode's first
exhibition in New York in more than five years. It is also Rhode's debut
solo show at Lehmann Maupin since joining the gallery earlier this year.
The artist has taken over both New York galleries to present a two-part
exhibition featuring a new series of street-based photographs and an
educational wall drawing intervention with Time In, a local outreach
program specializing in arts education for underprivileged school
children. The artist will be present for opening receptions at both
galleries on Thursday, 10 January from 6 to 9 PM.
Robin Rhode, the South African-born, Berlin-based multidisciplinary
artist, engages a variety of visual languages such as photography,
performance, drawing and sculpture to create arrestingly beautiful
narratives that are brought to life using quotidian materials such as soap,
charcoal, chalk and paint. Coming of age in a newly post-apartheid South
Africa, Rhode was exposed to new forms of creative expression
motivated by the spirit of the individual rather than dictated by a
political or social agenda. The growing influence of hip-hop, film, and
popular sports on youth culture as well as the community's reliance on
storytelling in the form of colorful murals encouraged the development
of Rhode's hybrid street-based aesthetic. His strategic interventions
transform urban landscapes into imaginary worlds, compressing space
and time, as two-dimensional renderings become the subject of three-
dimensional interactions by a sole protagonist, usually played by the
artist or by an actor inhabiting the role of artist. Melding individual
expressionism with broader socio-economic concerns, Rhode's work
reveals a mastery of illusion, a rich range of historical and contemporary
references, and an innate skill for blending high and low art forms.
The exhibition at 540 West 26th Street, Take your Mind Off the Street, is
dedicated to Rhode's newest series of photographs. Each work consists of
multiple images capturing a singular action that unfolds sequentially, in
most cases, from left to right, similar to the action portrayed in a
zoetrope. In Bird on Wires, for instance, Rhode's character traces the
flight pattern of a bird as it makes its way from one perch to the next
along a barbed wire fence. The action recalls early movement
experiments carried out by the French scientist, physiologist and
chronophotographer, Ètienne-Jules Marey (1830--1904), in the 1880s. The
triptych Broken Glass depicts a crowbar-wielding man shattering a
larger-than-life wine glass; it's red liquid spilling forth, staining the stark
white wall. This act of violence is amplified through scale and the
absurdity of the subject matter, and in the context of Johannesburg, the
artist's hometown, symbolic of the violence and social inequality that
continues to plague the city to this day.
At 201 Chrystie Street, Rhode will utilize the walls of the gallery for a site-
specific intervention entitled Paries Pictus. The artist has partnered with
Time In, a New York City-based organization that specializes in arts
education for kids from underserved elementary schools. A group of
approximately 40 to 50 students, ranging in age from six to eight, from
PS 63 in the South Bronx will be invited to use oversized crayons to color
in geometric vinyl graphics applied directly to the walls by Rhode. Paries
Pictus was first enacted at the Castello di Rivoli in Turin, Italy, in 2011.
This past November, Roxana Marcoci, Curator of Photography at the
Museum of Modern Art, New York, invited Rhode to participate in Paris
Photo Platform, an experimental platform for the critical discussion of
photography. During the Vernissage, Rhode performed Darkroom, 2012.
The artist's digital animation Open Court, 2012, was also widely screened
at this year's Art Basel Miami Beach as part of the fair's Art Video and Art
Kabinett programs. A forthcoming solo exhibition is scheduled for the
National Gallery of Victoria, Melbourne, Australia, in May 2013.
