Four Special Projects in Turin During Artissima 2018
As Artissima commemorates its 25th anniversary, four projects from Turin are marking significant achievements. Noire Gallery celebrates over two decades with Shirin Neshat by showcasing her artist book "The Home of My Eyes" alongside the 2016 video "Roja." At the ex-Opificio Pastiglie Leone, Giorgio Persano Gallery features Michelangelo Pistoletto's "Comunicazione. Le porte di Cittadellarte," which includes a substantial wooden installation and fresh mirror paintings. The Autofocus prize, celebrating its 10th year, honors emerging artist Matteo Pizzolante with an exhibition in a project space and a new publication curated by Olga Gambari. Additionally, Artuner, founded by Eugenio Re Rebaudengo in London, marks five years with a group exhibition at Palazzo Capris, showcasing artists like Juan Antonio Olivares and Caroline Walker.
