New site-specific works added to Pinacoteca Agnelli's La Pista 500 in Turin
The La Pista 500 project at the Pinacoteca Agnelli in Turin has been upgraded with four fresh installations by artists Allora & Calzadilla, Rong Bao, Francesco Gennari, and Silvia Rosi. These new pieces join the works of existing artists like Thomas Beyrle, Monica Bonvicini, and VALIE EXPORT, among others, all displayed in the rooftop garden of the iconic Fiat car testing facility. Since its launch in 2022, the initiative has explored the concept of contemporary public spaces through various art forms. The new installations are set to debut on April 16, 2025. Additionally, from May 15-19, 2025, Pinacoteca Agnelli will collaborate with the Turin International Book Fair for the "Sul tetto del Salone" event, offering reduced entry fees and discussions.
