Corsetteria project space opens in Turin's Galleria Umberto I

A new independent project space named Corsetteria is set to launch on October 26 in Galleria Umberto I, Turin's largest commercial gallery. This 300-square-meter venue, situated on the second floor of Palazzo Cavalieri within a historic complex, derives its name from a past corsetry shop that transitioned into Italy's second yoga studio and later an artist studio in the late 1970s. Federica Barletta, in partnership with Ncontemporary, is behind this initiative. The opening exhibition, titled G80, showcases works from artists born in the 1980s, including Domenico Antonio Mancini, Zehra Arslan, and others. Participating galleries such as Lia Rumma and mc2gallery will present large-scale installations, emphasizing a generation straddling emerging and mid-career stages.
