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.

Young Curators Residency Programme 2011 Coordinated by Stefano Collicelli Cagol

Palazzo Re Rebaudengo, Guarene, Italy May 29 – June 26, 2011

To see an object, to see the light

To see an object, to see the light is an exhibition featuring work by a cross-generational group of Italian artists and thinkers, including fourteen current practitioners and several from the past—among them figures like Galileo Galilei, Alessandro Volta, Carol Rama, and Alighiero e Boetti—whose legacies both inform and enrich the contemporary works on display. Taking into account its site at a stately palazzo among rolling hills and vineyards, the exhibition will suggest the mind of a fictionalized and somewhat eccentric collector at work. This invisible figure—composed, inevitably, from the amalgamated tastes and concerns of the exhibition’s three curators—has amassed and arranged a selection of contemporary and historical artworks alongside objects from the scientific and natural world in a space that is at once a palace, a museum, and a laboratory. An important touchstone informing both the curatorial methodology and conceptual content of this exhibition is Joris-Karl Huysmans’s seminal 1884 novel À rebours. This literary work introduces the character of Jean Des Esseintes, an aristocratic aesthete who withdraws to a rural palace, intent on creating his own insular sanctuary of beauty and reflection. In Esseintes’s hermetically sealed interior, the symbolic power of objects and their perception become a foundation for new forms of belief. Yet while Huysmans’s novel elevates artifice to a kind of apotheosis, the objects and artworks on view at Palazzo Re Rebaudengo are more firmly rooted in reality. In this way, To see an object, to see the light seeks to demonstrate that empiricism and wonder are not in opposition, but intimately intertwined. At the exhibition’s core is an exploration of the interdependent notions of light and substance. Light, though immaterial, allows for the perception of the material world; the interplay of light against solid objects—the moon, for instance, or a mirror—is essential to vision. Works that take light as their source material or subject matter will therefore be displayed alongside others that emphatically assert their objecthood. In this way, both the totemic quality of materials and the physics of pure perception are evoked in an immersive installation that revels in sensuousness while still questioning the scientific causes at its root. This approach suggests a doubled understanding of vision as the source of both comprehension and imagination.

Curators

Pádraic E. Moore

Pádraic E. Moore is a writer, curator and art historian. He holds a BA in History of Art and English Literature from University College Dublin (2004), an MA in Visual Art Practices from IADT, Dublin (2007) and completed CuratorLab, the postgraduate programme at Konstfack University, Stockholm (2010). Moore is a former resident of the Jan van Eyck Academy, Maastricht (2014-15). Moore’s practice is shaped by the belief that visual art enables alternative modes of interaction in a world increasingly led by techno­logical rationality. Moore’s curatorial methodology is meticulous but subjective and is informed by an acute awareness of the artist’s individual position. He is particularly interested in the format of the group exhibition as a platform for making collective, critical statements. Moore is Curatorial Programme Mentor at De Appel, Amsterdam.Recent research has focused upon the influence that esoteric philosophies have had upon the literary and visual arts. Several projects have explored how organisations such as the Theosophical Society offered a vital catalyst for change in late 19th and early 20th century art. Moore’s projects often examine how contemporary culture has embraced aesthetics and ideals informed by such esoteric traditions. Chronicling the work of artists who refer to or follow these traditions is also an integral aspect of his practice. Recent projects include: The Museum of Ancient History, UCD, Dublin (2021) The Great Invocation, Garage Rotterdam, (2020) Orgonomics, Garage Rotterdam (2019) The Last Great Album of the Decade. The LAB, Dublin (2019), Letters of Last Resort, Damien and the Love Guru, Brussels (2018) and The Width of a Circle, W139, Amsterdam (2018).

From 2003–2008, Kollak worked at the Tang Teaching Museum and Art Gallery at Skidmore College, Saratoga Springs, New York, where the exhibitions she curated dipped into topics as diverse as sleepwalking, furniture, and the iconography of stripes including Tim Rollins and K.O.S.: A History (2009), Dario Robleto: Alloy of Love (2008–9), and America Starts Here: Kate Ericson and Mel Ziegler (2005). She received a MA from the Center for Curatorial Studies at Bard College. Most recently Kollak worked with the Stockholm-based artist duo Goldin+Senneby to produce a new episode of Headless, their ongoing project using strategies of fiction to investigate the shadowy realm of offshore finance, which included a research headquarters at CCS Bard and a mini-symposium co-organized with Rhizome and presented at the New Museum.

Artists

  • Salvatore Arancio

    Salvatore Arancio (Catania, Italy, 1974) is an artist based in London and Nice whose practice spans video, ceramics, sculpture, drawing, collage, animation and installation. Central to his work is an exploration of images, how they produce meaning, shift across contexts and can be reframed or destabilized. Arancio treats images as fluid constructs operating across scientific, mythological and historical registers, while remaining open to imaginative interpretation, reflecting the instability of knowledge and our mediated relationship to the natural and ecological world. His practice frequently juxtaposes binaries, natural and artificial, mineral and vegetable, scientific and mythological, without resolving them, allowing objects and images to function as sites of ambiguity. Research underpins his methodology, drawing on fieldwork, archives, scientific texts, ethnography and speculative narratives, which are translated into visual systems that resist singular interpretation. Ceramics play a pivotal role in his work referencing geological formations, ritual objects and imagined fossils. His moving-image projects blend documentary and fiction, scientific observation, abstraction, and psychedelic imagery, creating immersive environments that explore temporality, perception and ecological fragility.

  • Alek O.

    In her practice, Alek O. (b. 1981, Buenos Aires) blends the common notion of the readymade with craft, embroidery and other traditional art-making forms. On the verge between transformation and conservation, Alek O. strips the objects’ common visual aspects and replaces them with geometric abstraction. Reversing the perspective of design, Alek O. favors re-creation over creation and deconstruction over construction. The objects are salvaged from their original, usually domestic use: wood from a table, metal from a discarded key, wool from a sweater or a pair of gloves. Thus, the works function as metonymy for the artist, or the people who had a connection with the material. The imprint on her sculpted material of those who owned it or used it represents an important aspect of Alek O.’s work as it encapsulates a series of suggestions where memory, affection, nostalgia and the carefully considered loss of interpretive information converge to create an open poetic gesture. Alek O. lives and works in Milan, where she graduated in Design from Politecnico. The work of Alek O. has been exhibited widely at institutional level, notably at MAMbo, Bologna (2026); Royal Academy, London (2026); Fondazione Nicola Trussardi, Milan (2024); the National Gallery of Modern and Contemporary Art, Rome (2021); The Courtauld Institute of Art, Sommerset House (2020); 16th Quadriennale d’Arte, Rome, Palazzo delle Esposizioni (2016); Triennale di Milano, Milan (2015).
