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 2013 Coordinated by Stefano Collicelli Cagol

Fondazione Sandretto Re Rebaudengo, Turin, Italy May 8 - September 15, 2013

The 338 Hour Cineclub

The Sandretto Re Rebaudengo Foundation presents the exhibition The 338 Hour Cineclub, final exhibition of the seventh edition of the Young Curators Residency Programme. This exhibition focuses on Italian artists who work with film and video in a myriad of forms. Respecting the individual practices of each selected artist, this exhibition deliberately places emphasis on the shared medium of film and avoids any further thematic grouping. This approach responds to the remarkable quality of research and collective commitment to film practices that is evidenced in the work of the selected artists, whose works are addressing diverse issues ranging from the language of pure cinema to politics.

All works will be exhibited on a single screen housed in a cinema pavilion within the gallery. Aiming to make an object of the cinema within the space and to create optimum cinematic viewing conditions, the structure will be designed by The Institute of Friends, a group of artists and designers based in Bolzano, in collaboration with architect Quirin Prünter.
The 338 Hour Cineclub addresses the timeframe of the exhibition, the evolving programme not only developing daily, but throughout the 338 public hours of the project. Echoing the different rhythms of the traditional exhibition, this format encourages the audience to return throughout its full length, allowing for a comprehensive selection of each artist’s work to be viewed.

Six different film programmes are presented during the four-month run of the Cineclub. Firstly, responding to two-hour window of the event, the opening programme acts as a taster, setting a precedent for the unfolding exhibition by presenting a short film by each artist. The main body of the exhibition then comprises of four programmes focusing on the work of three of four artists, each corresponding to the daily opening hours of the gallery and repeated for three weeks. During the first two weeks oh the 55th Venice Biennial, the Cineclub again shows the works of every participating artist, focusing on short films. As such, each day opens with short films, building up to full lenght features. One of the Cineclub’s aims is to recognise the differences present amongst this divergent selection of film and video. By the very nature of the unifying single screen format however, the exhibition simultaneously presents a timely opportunity for an examination of the use of cinematic techniques in contemporary practice. The dialogue between these film works invites consideration of the use of filmic conventions by artists whereby duration, narrative, script, image production and set design are repeatedly revisited.
Returning throughout the duration of the exhibition. The 338 Hour Cineclub members are offered the opportunity to view 75 film and video works by Italian artists, their collective running time totalling 25 hours, each screened in a specialised space conceived singularly for their viewing over the 338 hours of the exhibition.

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.

  • 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. In 2026, she was named Artist of the Year by the Galleria Nazionale d’Arte Moderna e Contemporanea (GNAMC), Rome.

  • Giulio Squillacciotti

    Giulio Squillacciotti (b. 1982, Rome) is an artist and award-winning filmmaker whose work navigates the speculative potential of history through fiction, mystification, and the reactivation of collective memory. After studying Medieval Art History and Humanities in Rome and Barcelona, he earned a Master’s degree in Visual Arts from the IUAV School of Architecture in Venice. He was subsequently a residency fellow at the Jan Van Eyck Academie in Maastricht and one of the artists of the Dutch Pavilion at the 16th Venice Architecture Biennale. His works—ranging from film documentary to fiction and experimental installations or set design—are crafted within diverse geographical and cultural contexts, creating immersive environments that reflect on how identities are constructed, performed, and remembered. Squillacciotti’s practice focuses on reconstructing specific human, social and political dynamics and rituals as mirrors of broader, universal narratives. He is currently developing his first feature film, set in Ireland during the aftermath of the 2008 economic crash. The project is an Italian, Irish and Polish co-production) and has received support from MEDIA Creative Europe, Screen Ireland, and the Italian Ministry of Culture’s Film Fund.

  • Diego Tonus

    Diego Tonus (b. 1984, Pordenone, Italy) is based in The Hague (NL). He uses reproduction to question control systems and power structures, transforming selected images, objects, and collective experiences into new frameworks that expose their underlying codes and normativity. His time- and process-based mixed-media practice is grounded in archiving as an active critical gesture. What is collected or omitted becomes structural, revealing how meaning is formed, transmitted, and withheld. Through copying, reenactment, and reconstruction, he creates new originals that retain traces of their sources while shifting their conditions. His works function as platforms where narratives of identity, authority, and belief unfold between fiction and documentary. He studied at IUAV University of Venice and the Sandberg Institute, Amsterdam. Solo shows include Goethe-Institut Kyoto (2025), Ca’ Pesaro Venice (2024), CSAC Parma (2023), Whitechapel Gallery London (2020), ar/ge kunst Bozen (2017) and Stedelijk Museum Bureau Amsterdam (2013). Group exhibitions include MAXXI Rome, TENT Rotterdam, Rome Quadrennial, De Appel Amsterdam and Palais de Tokyo Paris. His films screened at Hammer Museum Los Angeles and Kunsthalle Gwangju. Residencies include ARTS at CERN Geneva, Van Eyck Maastricht and WIELS Brussels. Collections include MAMbo Bologna, MAXXI Rome, CSAC Parma and MMoMA Moscow.
