Osservatorio Futura: curatela militante e spazio indipendente a Torino

Founded in 2020 by Francesca Disconzi and Federico Palumbo in Turin, Osservatorio Futura is a curatorial collective. Both founders studied at Liceo Artistico and Accademia Albertina before obtaining master’s degrees in Milan—Disconzi in Economics and Palumbo in Visual Cultures. Originally starting as an online magazine, it transformed into a physical venue located at Via Carena 20, which includes an archive, a fanzine, and a space for exhibitions. Their critical-militant stance supports new artistic research, exemplified by exhibitions such as "La curatela Militante" and "Non rimane che volare" (in collaboration with Giuseppe Arnesano). Notable artists associated with them are Giuliana Rosso and Paola Angelini, alongside historical figures like Gino De Dominicis and Harald Szeemann. Important publications include "Il territorio magico" and "Controcorrente."
