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 2010 Coordinated by Stefano Collicelli Cagol

Palazzo Re Rebaudengo, Guarene, Italy May 8 - June 20, 2010; Palazzo Ducale, Genoa, Italy September 18 - October 18, 2010

Persona in meno

Fondazione Sandretto Re Rebaudengo and Fondazione Edoardo Garrone present Persona in meno from 8 May to 20 June at Palazzo Re Rebaudengo in Guarene d’Alba and from 18 September to 17 October at Palazzo Ducale in Genova. The exhibition includes works by Meris Angioletti, Nico Angiuli, Lupo Borgonovo, Chiara Camoni, Canecapovolto, Carloni & Franceschetti, Manuele Cerutti, Andrea Contin, Andrea De Stefani, Nicolò Degiorgis, Federico Del Vecchio, Rä di Martino, Chiara Fumai, Alessandro Gagliardo, Lorenzo Scotto di Luzio, Giuseppe Lana, Renato Leotta, Eva Marisaldi, Andrea Nacciarriti, Linda Fregni Nagler, Nicola Nunziata, Alberto Scodro, Marinella Senatore, Alberto Tadiello and Mauro Vignando. Persona in meno offers “portraiture without portraiture” as a paradoxical framework for considering the diverse works of more than twenty contemporary Italian artists— from an overarching parabola of basil to a bronze cast of the human soul. Punctuated by sound, as well as by moving images and moving objects, Palazzo Re Rebaudengo will be filled with works that elicit absent presences, apparitions, surrogates, private rituals, reappearances, and failed attempts at invisibility. Surveyed together, these works hover between what is visibly absent and absently visible. Persona in meno is curated by Angelique Campens (Belgium), Erica Cooke (USA) and Chris Fitzpatrick (USA), fellows of the fourth edition of the Young Curators’ Residency programme coordinated by Stefano Collicelli Cagol (Italy) and supported by the Fondazione Sandretto Re Rebaudengo and Fondazione Edoardo Garrone with the support of the Compagnia di San Paolo.

  • Canecapovolto

    canecapovolto is a collective founded in 1992 in Catania by Alessandro Aiello, Enrico Aresu, and Alessandro De Filippo, and has developed its artistic practice at the intersection of film, sound art, and contemporary art, interweaving diverse narrative languages and techniques: Super 8, video, found footage, writing, radio dramas and podcasts, field recordings, randomness, experimental music, and even collages on paper and graphic works. The goal is the ongoing exploration of the relationship between language and message within unconventional storytelling, the relationship between art and politics, and, of course, the strategic role of the viewer. In 2016, canecapovolto founded Scuola FuoriNorma in Catania, a center for experiential education on sound and image, and subsequently La scatola dei suoni (an archive of field recordings accessible to scholars and sound artists). The four seminars and workshops of Scuola FuoriNorma are often held as part of festivals and events. Parallel projects by cc have given rise to Datapanic (an international thematic digital compilation of 60-second works), Re soundscape, Suono Madre (based on sound art works by students at the Academy of Fine Arts in Catania, in collaboration with RAM radioartemobile in Rome), and L’Elefante nella stanza (in 3 volumes), a collective podcast experiment.

  • Carloni & Franceschetti

    Cristiano Carloni and Stefano Franceschetti studied film animation and painting in Urbino and have been working together since 1995. They have produced videos, installations, electronic stage sets, animated films and photographic work that have been taken up by the art world, yet in disorienting and unusual ways. Their techniques explore the optical processes of vision in the transmutation of matter as well as temporal shifts in memory. Carloni-Franceschetti’s works have been exhibited at numerous cultural institutions, including: Museum of Contemporary Art (Chicago, 2002), Louvre Museum (Paris, 2004), Oxo Tower (London, 2004), Biennale Teatro (Venice, 2005), Central Academy of Fine Arts (Beijing, 2006), Martin Segal Center (New York, 2008), Fondazione Sandretto Re Rebaudengo (Guarene, 2010), Austrian Film Museum (Vienna, 2011), MACRO (Rome, 2018), Romaeuropa Festival (Rome, 2021), Fondation Galeries Lafayette (Paris, 2023), HOUSE (Berlin, 2024). Moreover, the close collaboration with Romeo Castellucci and the Socìetas Raffaello Sanzio has brought their work into a number of noteworthy avant-garde theatre spaces around the globe. With the exhibition ESSO: SHADOWS OOZING GOLD at the Institute for Contemporary Art in Zagreb (2022), they won the 10th edition of the Italian Council.

  • Manuele Cerutti

    Manuele Cerutti (Turin, 1976) trained at the Albertina Academy of Fine Arts. In 2004 he won the illy Present Future Prize, in 2007 he co-founded Progetto Diogene, and in 2022 he was an Italian Fellow at the American Academy in Rome. His paintings reflect on today’s possibility of infusing pictorial form and performative presence into common, neglected, or discarded objects: plastic waste, fragments, twisted pipes and sticks, bones, stones, and multiform vessels. These objects, together with the human figure—which has reappeared in his most recent works—compose true portraits that investigate postures and personalities through which one can recognize oneself and project one’s own feelings. His work is guided by an anti-hierarchical vision of the world, in which the boundary between the organic and inorganic worlds blurs to create an animist perspective where matter is fully alive and shares in the same vital essence. In 2023, the Maramotti Collection (Reggio Emilia) dedicated an extensive solo exhibition to his work. He has taken part in exhibitions at public and private institutions, including: GAM, Castello di Rivoli, and Fondazione Sandretto Re Rebaudengo (Turin); Triennale and Palazzo Reale (Milan); Collezione AmC Coppola, (Vicenza); Wilhelm-Hack-Museum (Ludwigshafen); ICI (London); Galerie Max Hetzler and 401contemporary (Berlin); and MA2 Gallery (Tokyo).

  • Rä di Martino

    Rä di Martino was born in Rome and studied in London, graduating with an MFA from the Slade School of Art. She won a fellowship at Columbia University and spent five years in New York before returning to Italy. Her practice explores the passage of time and the discrepancies between epic narratives and lived experiences. Her works often balance pathos with a certain detachment, disrupting the synchronicity between image and text. Her films, video installations, and photographs have been presented at institutions and festivals including MoMA PS1 (New York), Tate Modern (London), NiMK Netherlands Media Arts (Amsterdam), MCA (Chicago), Palazzo Grassi–Punta della Dogana (Venice), Artists Space (New York), Museion (Bozen), Magasin (Grenoble), Busan Biennial, Manifesta, Torino International Film Festival, Kino der Kunst (Munich), Viper Basel, and Transmediale (Berlin). In 2014, she presented her first medium-length documentary The Show MAS Go On at the Venice International Film Festival, winning the Gillo Pontecorvo Award, the SIAE Award, and a Nastro d’Argento for Best Documentary. In 2018 her first feature film Controfigura—winner of the Eurimages Lab Award—premiered at the Venice Film Festival and was nominated for a Nastro d’Argento. In 2018–19 she won the MIBAC Italian Council Award and developed the installation and book Afterall, shown at Mattatoio (Rome) and Kunstmuseum St. Gallen (Zurich, 2020). The same year, her solo exhibition at Museo del Novecento, Florence, with the work L’eccezione, received the first Lio Capital Award. In 2021, she directed the experimental documentary Fuori dai teatri, inspired by the archive of the Teatro di Pontedera. In 2022, she presented solo exhibitions at Forte Belvedere (Florence) and Torre Matta (Otranto) with a new work on Carmelo Bene commissioned by Museo Castromediano di Lecce / Archivio Carmelo Bene. Recent exhibitions include Kant Can’t Can-Can at Fondazione Giuliani, Rome (2025), Electric Whispers at Beirut Arts Center and Fotografia Europea, Reggio Emilia (2025), PLAY IT AGAIN at Forte Belvedere – Museo Novecento, Florence (2023), and Premio Acacia at Museo del Novecento, Milan (2020). She is currently developing her second feature film Ya & Niki, an Italian–French–Lebanese co-production.

  • Giuseppe Lana

    Giuseppe Lana (b. 1979, Catania, Italy). One of the key points of his artistic research is the autobiographical component. His works are developed as a result of a reflection on the context that surrounds the artist whose analysis of certain places and their problems, often politically and anthropologically based, is furthermore expressed through a strong connection with history. In recent works, the artist investigates man’s need – be he a single individual or an entire community – to travel over the earth, questioning how this freedom comes into conflict in contemporary reality with geopolitical interests, state bureaucratic apparatuses and reactionary ideologies. Among his recent shows: Drifting Back and Forth, Giorgio Persano Gallery, Turin, (2023); PASSAGGI, Italian Cultural Institute, Madrid, in collaboration with Giorgio Persano Gallery, (2023); L’aureola nelle cose: sentire l’habitat, 71° Premio Fondazione Michetti, (2020); ÜberMauer, BAM – Biennale Arcipelago Mediterraneo, Palermo, curated by Fondazione Merz, (2019); Durrmu Arts Aboriginal Corporation, Peppimenarti, Australia – partners: The University of Melbourne, IIC Melbourne, IIC Sydney, CO.AS.IT Cultural Centre Melbourne, Durrmu Arts Aboriginal Corporation, curated by Miriam La Rosa and Kade McDonald, (2019); Square, Official Collateral Event of MANIFESTA12, Palermo, curated by Mike Watson, (2018).

  • Renato Leotta

    Renato Leotta is an artist born in Turin in 1982; he currently lives and works in Italy. His work stems from a reflection on the landscape. Temporality is the core of his practice and takes shape through the observation of the elements that govern it: the sky, for example, and its relationship with things — the sea, plants, the wind, but also the body and memory. The focus of his research traces back to the Mediterranean and the cosmos — contexts understood as entities that situate his work within a critique of resistance to the rhythms of acceleration and image production. Recent exhibitions include his solo show at Galleria Sprovieri in London; Bourse de Commerce – Pinault Collection, Paris; Castello di Rivoli Museo d’Arte Contemporanea, Turin; the 17th Istanbul Biennial; Gropius Bau, Berlin; Fondazione Sandretto Re Rebaudengo, Masp, São Paulo; and Manifesta 12, Palermo, MAXXI Bulgari Priza in Roma; among others. Leotta was founder of CRIPTA747 in 2008 and Turiner Kunstverein? in 2025 and editor in chief of the research platform and publishing house Istituto Sicilia.

  • Andrea Nacciarriti

    Andrea Nacciarriti (b. 1976, Ostra Vetere) lives and works in Senigallia. His work begins before the object it produces: every interruption is reabsorbed as it occurs, documentation precedes it and takes its place, until the line between what happened and what was transmitted gives way. He graduated from the Academy of Fine Arts, Bologna (2003), and took part in CSAV, Fondazione Ratti, Como (2005), visiting professor Alfredo Jaar. He has shown at MACRO (Rome), PAC (Milan), Le Fresnoy (Tourcoing), La Maison Rouge (Paris), MAMM (Moscow), Villa Croce Museum (Genoa) and Frieze Sculpture (London). Solo exhibitions: Installation View (Kappa Nöun, Bologna, 2023), 00 00 00 00 00 [Essex Street Retail Market] (New York, 2019), Crystallize #003 (Palazzo Ducale, Urbino, 2019), And the Ship Sails On (Pescheria, Pesaro, 2013), No One Knew What Anyone Else Was Doing (CAB, Grenoble, 2011), Sleepingtime (Galleria Franco Soffiantino, Turin, 2007). Awards: New York Prize (2014), Celeste Prize (2011), Terna Prize 03, A Call for a Line (2015). Residencies: ISCP (New York), Red Gate (Beijing), Pro Artibus (Ekenäs). Works are held in public and private collections including Fondation Antoine de Galbert (Paris) and Collezione La Gaia (Busca). Research continues in the Temporary Studios cycle.

  • Alberto Scodro

    Alberto Scodro was born in Marostica, Vicenza, Italy, in 1984. He graduated in Visual and Performing Arts at IUAV University of Venice, after completing studies in restoration. His artistic research focuses on the relationship between space and matter, the fundamental elements of his practice. Through processes of transformation, mutation, and the evolution of natural organisms, Scodro explores unconventional combinations of artificial and natural materials, creating sculptures, installations, and works on paper. His practice develops through processes of addition and subtraction in relation to existing bodies and environments. Forms, volumes, and word associations generate semantic and visual short circuits, inviting new ways of perceiving materials and their transformations. Heterogeneous in his material experimentation, Scodro investigates universes, phenomena, and forces belonging to different life cycles, from plant cultivation to high-temperature metal and mineral fusions. Tension, pressure, and fusion become methods through which he questions the contemporary relationship between nature, technology, and production. His works are included in important public and private collections. In 2026, his work is presented at the 61st Venice Biennale, as part of the Venice Pavilion.

  • Marinella Senatore

    Marinella Senatore (b. 1977, Italy) has developed a multidisciplinary practice spanning tapestry, light sculpture, collage, drawing and performance. For over two decades, her research — rooted in participation, pedagogy and shared knowledge— has involved millions of participants across more than twenty-four countries. Drawing from public celebrations, processional cultures, theatre, music, vernacular traditions and informal systems of knowledge, she constructs layered visual worlds in which personal and collective narratives converge. Recurring motifs —including landscapes, gestures, architectural fragment and text — generate an iconography that runs throughout her practice. These elements operate as part of an evolving contemporary mythology, through which questions of visibility, agency, belonging and transformation are continually renegotiated and reimagined. Her large scale installation draw on the architectural language of Southern Italian “luminarie”, translating temporary structures of celebration into contemporary sculptural forms fostering engagement and assembly. Rather than simply representing participation, Senatore’s works are grounded in long-term workshops, encounters and shared processes, making visible the ways in which collective imagination takes form. Founded in 2012, The School of Narrative Dance (SOND) constitutes the most radical dimension of Senatore’s engagement with collective practices. Developed through workshops, public processions and collective rituals, it functions as an ongoing laboratory for exploring the relationship between the body, pedagogy, cultural transmission and the production of shared narratives.  Senatore’s work has been exhibited internationally by leading institutions including Palais de Tokyo, Paris; Kunsthaus Zürich; Centre Pompidou, Paris; Museum Der Moderne, Salzburg; Museum of Contemporary Art, Chicago; Triennale Milano; Museum Villa Stuck, Munich; Berlinische Galerie; Musée d’art contemporain de Montréal; Castello di Rivoli; MAXXI, Rome; Museum of Contemporary Art, Santa Barbara; Schirn Kunsthalle, Frankfurt; Bundeskunsthalle, Bonn; Extra City Kunsthal, Antwerp; Serlachius Museums, Mänttä; Estorick Collection, London; Kestner Gesellschaft, Hannover; BOZAR, Brussels; Moderna Museet, Stockholm; GNAMC, Rome; Kunsthalle St. Gallen; CAPC Musée d’art Contemporain de Bordeaux and Queens Museum, New York among others. She has realised commissions and public projects for institutions, museums, and foundations including High Line, New York; Palazzo Strozzi, Florence; Generali Foundation, Venice; UCCA, Shanghai; Peggy Guggenheim Collection, Venice; Faena Forum, Miami; Kunsthalle Mannheim; Nuit Blanche, Paris; Steirischer Herbst, Graz; Amsterdam Light Festival; Stiftung Kunst und Natur, Nantesbuch; Millennium Park, Chicago; Southbank Centre, London; BAK, Utrecht; Kulturstiftung St. Moritz; NOOR Riyadh; Dicastery for Culture and Education of the Holy See, Rome and numerous institutions across Europe, Asia, the Middle East and the United States. Senatore has participated in major international biennials and her works are held in public and private collections worldwide, and numerous international public and private collections. Her residencies include ISCP New York, Künstlerhaus Bethanien Berlin, American Academy in Rome, Centre International d’Accueil et d’Échanges des Récollets, Cité internationale des arts, Paris, and Les Laboratoires d’Aubervilliers, Paris.
