Young Curators Residency Programme

Every year since 2007 Fondazione Sandretto Re Rebaudengo promotes the Young Curators Residency Programme Torino. The project aims to support emerging curatorial practice while spreading knowledge of the Italian art scene on an international level.

Residency program for young curators 2008 Curated by Ilaria Bonacossa

Palazzo Re Rebaudengo, Guarene d’Alba, Cuneo, Italy 25 May – 27 July 2008

Dai tempo al tempo

The exhibition Dai tempo al tempo is the fruit of three months work by the three young curators Fiona Parry (UK, 1980), Joseph del Pesco (USA, 1975) and Pelin Uran (Turkey, 1975). Invited by the Fondazione Sandretto Re Rebaudengo and by the Fondazione Edoardo Garrone, the three curators have spent three months in Italy to get a deeper insight into the contemporary art scene, contacting and meeting artists, curators, museum directors, gallerists and critics.
Focusing on the physical experience of time, the exhibition will begin with a daylong series of time-based projects by the 13 artists. Responding to the selected artists’ project-oriented practices, the exhibition will be composed of ephemeral, transient, momentary, and impermanent artworks. The artist projects will include: performances, artists’ talks, installations, video presentations, interventions, and participatory constructions. Some works will have specific durations, possibly lasting from a matter of minutes to the whole six hours. Some will, in more ephemeral ways, give form to the temporal structure and experience of the whole event. Installations will be born out of the series of events and will be on show to the public for the entire exhibition period. Francesco Arena will inscribe a quote by Fenoglio along the walls of the exhibition space, encouraging the public to interact with the space and reflect on the history of the Partisans of the Langhe and Roero regions. Federico Pietrella will present an installation of a room illuminated by lit torches that will go out one by one as their batteries die, setting an unpredictable turn of events for both the spectators and the artist. In the performance of Wolfgang Berkowski, 5 actors will read a work by Godard Le Mepris in blocked off spaces, hence creating a deaf conversation.
