exhibition · 2026-04-26

The fourth edition of TO.BE, a diffuse exhibition series curated by the Gheddo collective, runs from February to June 2026 across eight venues in Turin. The collective, founded in 2022 by Olga Cantini, Rachele Fassari, Davide Nicastro, Barbara Ruperti, and Marta Saccani, aims to support emerging artists through exhibitions and educational events. The series opened on 21 February at Mucho Mas! with 'Units/Identity' by Giulia Querin and Xinhan Yù, on view until 22 March. On 28 February, Benedetta Ferrari's 'Are there Mountains in the Sky Too?' opens at the Museo Nazionale della Montagna, running until 26 April. Other exhibitions include Anouk Chambaz at Fondazione Recontemporary (9 April–3 May), Giorgio Mattia's open studio at Cripta747 (9–31 May), Maria Talotta at Fondazione Merz (22 May–22 June), and Giovanni Borgia at Galleria Weber & Weber (11 June–18 July). A performance day by Miriam Governatori Leonardi and Stefano Ferrari takes place on 16 May at Parco d’Arte Vivente. The program also includes a collective exhibition that opened on 23 October 2025 at Cripta di San Michele Arcangelo. TO.BE originated from an open call for artists from the Accademia to engage with Turin's cultural scene.
