Andreas Fogarasi’s site-specific show in Turin transforms found materials into rational geometries

Austrian artist Andreas Fogarasi (b. 1977, Vienna) presents his first solo exhibition in Turin, titled '1978', at the gallery Quartz. The show features five medium- and large-scale works assembled from reclaimed materials—doors, windows, iron grates, tiles, and wallpaper—collected around the city. Fogarasi recontextualizes these industrial objects into rigorous sculptural compositions that evoke a rational geometry, translating everyday urban detritus into a polimaterial, three-dimensional artistic language. His constructivist approach makes visible the invisible, transforming mundane fixtures into carriers of cultural, social, and architectural narratives suspended between past and present. The works are bound with iron straps, emphasizing compositional rewriting within abstract geometric dynamics charged with tension. The exhibition enters into dialogue with the city of Turin and references 20th-century avant-gardes.
