Artissima has a dual vocation, flanking a high-level market proposal with a cultural proposal capable of investigating new and different ways of presenting art.

The collaboration between Intesa Sanpaolo and Artissima continues with the third edition of the exhibition of artistic film and video with the exhibition The Underground Cinema, curated by independent curator Irene Calderoni, from Friday 1 to Sunday 3 November 2024.

In the Turinetti Room on the museum's main floor. The screening of the Opera-Video by artist Adrian Paci (Scutari, Albania, 1969), a project exploring the connections between industry, work and art, curated by Andrea Viliani. At the heart of Merging Bodies is a profound reflection on the relationship between man and his working environment. In this vision, the factory is transformed into a living, complex body, in which the boundaries between man and machine, between nature and artifice, become fluid. The human body and the industrial body intertwine in a continuous exchange, creating a single organism, essential for the realisation of the work.

The project will be on display at the Gallerie d'Italia - Turin on Saturday 2 November from 9:30 a.m. to 11:30 p.m. only.

Last admission 90 minutes before closing.
