Three Exhibitions at Turin's GAM Explore Night, Photography, and Fragility

The Galleria d'Arte Moderna di Torino (GAM) is currently presenting three distinct exhibitions. The first, 'Notti. Cinque secoli di stelle, sogni pleniluni,' curated by Fabio Cafagna and Elena Volpato, examines the theme of night across five centuries. It features works from the 17th century to the present, including items by Galileo and contemporary artists like Vija Celmins and Thomas Ruff, offering historical and anthropological perspectives. The second exhibition, 'Anger Pleasure Fear,' focuses on the photographic work of Linda Fregni Nagler, curated by Cecilia Canziani. The Italo-Swedish artist presents research-based projects, including works derived from her study of early photographer Hercule Florence in Brazil and her 2013 Venice Biennale installation 'Hidden Mother,' which comprises 997 photographs. The show also explores the ritual of academic dueling in German-speaking countries through the project 'Mensur.' The third presentation, 'Frangibile,' showcases the delicate work of Elisabetta Di Maggio, curated by Chiara Bertola and Fabio Cafagna. The Milan-born artist creates intricate pieces using materials like tracing paper and pins to explore themes of fragility, time, and existence. Each exhibition is accompanied by a dedicated catalog. Together, they provide visitors with a diverse look at historical themes and contemporary Italian artistic practice.
