Four Contemporary Artists Reimagine the Mountain at Museo della Montagna

The Museo Nazionale della Montagna in Turin has granted access to its archives for four contemporary artists: Laura Pugno, Marina Caneve, Vittorio Mortarotti, and Davide Tranchina, as part of a new exhibition. The museum's Fototeca showcases 19th-century photographs by Vittorio Sella, available at mountainmuseums.org, and includes the National Library of the CAI, which features archives from renowned mountaineers Walter Bonatti and Mario Fantin. Curator Giangavino Pazzola and conservator Veronica Lisino facilitated this opportunity. Pugno's piece "Abused" (2020) examines the effects on landscapes, while Caneve's "Entre chien et loup" critiques mountain imagery. Mortarotti delves into damaged landscapes, and Tranchina offers abstract silhouettes. The exhibition is hosted at the Museo della Montagna on Monte dei Cappuccini in Turin.
