Arteco's Interdisciplinary Approach to Art and Cultural Heritage
Founded in 2010 by art historians Beatrice Zanelli and Annalisa Pellino, Arteco is an association based in Turin that bridges the gap between the preservation of cultural heritage and the promotion of emerging artists. The initiative began with a proposal to catalog the Gabinetto dei Disegni e delle Stampe at Accademia Albertina di Torino. Arteco prioritizes collaboration across various fields. Significant initiatives include Residenza Alpina at Montagnafest in July 2016, featuring artists such as BR1 and Francesca Cirilli, and the project 1, 2, 3 Click! with Fondazione Agnelli, which involved architect Daniele Campobenedetto. Since 2013, Arteco has overseen the Education Department at Pinacoteca Giovanni e Marella Agnelli and has partnered with Artissima since 2016, while also working on an archive of irregular art in Piedmont with plans for a permanent center.
