Paolo Grassino's dystopian retrospective opens at Palazzo Saluzzo Paesana during Turin Art Week

A retrospective of Paolo Grassino (Turin, 1967) has opened at Palazzo Saluzzo Paesana, produced by Davide Paludetto Arte Contemporanea in collaboration with Istituto Garuzzo per le Arti Visive. The exhibition, curated by Lorand Hegyi—Hungarian curator and director of the Musée d'Art Moderne et Contemporain de Saint-Étienne—focuses on dystopia, exploring the conflicted relationship between nature and humanity. Grassino's post-apocalyptic works fill the Baroque halls, with Turin's last thirty years as the protagonist, caught between industrial culture and precarity. A new sculpture, Lavoro rende morte, honors workers killed in the 2007 ThyssenKrupp explosion. The show launched during Turin Art Week.
