Ten days of infinite curiosity—art, science, and contemporary cultures
The Giorno per Giorno initiative, sponsored by Fondazione per l’Arte Moderna e Contemporanea CRT and now in its third year, has grown into a full-fledged festival of contemporary culture; starting with art, it weaves together different realms of the humanities and sciences: architecture, literature, music, physics, astronomy, mathematics, film, and design.

This year’s programme, curated by novelist and essayist Gianluigi Ricuperati, is titled From Eternity to Here (after an important study by American physicist Sean Carroll) and includes concerts, seminars, workshops, projections, and conversations with major international figures: artists, curators and art experts, scientists, architects, writers, designers, musicians, and filmmakers. Ten days of infinite curiosity, bringing the world’s greatest minds to Turin in order to tackle complex, stimulating questions, in an exploration that relies on all the different angles of different fields of knowledge.

Giovanni Amelino-Camelia, Amedeo Balbi, Ute Meta Bauer, Paul Beauchamp, Francesco Bernardelli, Stefano Boeri, Gillo Dorfles, Michele Emmer, Piero Gilardi, Christoph Keller, Kode9, Vincenzo Latronico, Bill Morrison, Ryan & Trevor Oakes, Hans Ulrich Obrist, Matteo Pericoli, Marco Rainò, Tomás Saraceno, Dimitar Sasselov, Taryn Simon, Patricia Urquiola, Marc-Olivier Wahler, and Lawrence Weschler will hold lectures, engage in conversations, and guide the public through the main contemporary art museums and foundations as well as in other outstanding museums and cultural institutions in town: Accademia delle Scienze di Torino, Castello di Rivoli Museo d’Arte Contemporanea, Circolo dei Lettori, Fondazione Merz, Fondazione Sandretto Re Rebaudengo, GAM Galleria Civica d’Arte Moderna e Contemporanea, Museo Nazionale del Cinema, Museo Nazionale dell’Automobile, and PAV Parco Arte Vivente.

The programme will start with a concert by Kode9, one of the most beloved musicians of the global electronic scene and also a scholar who has just published an essay on “Sonic Warfare” for the MIT Press of Boston, and, as the culmination of ten days of infinite curiosity, Hans Ulrich Obrist will interview four figures of different ages, backgrounds, histories, and expressive areas: a New York artist, Taryn Simon; a Bulgarian scientist who teaches at Harvard, Dimitar Sasselov; the most scientifically curious amongst the protagonists of the Arte Povera season, Piero Gilardi; and Gillo Dorfles, born in 1910, artist, art critic, the founder of the MAC, Concrete Art Movement.

Giorno per Giorno is also the occasion for launching a new project: Parallel Museum / Collection of Words. Writers and poets will be asked to describe artworks, without rushing to interpret them; simply to describe them, as if images no longer existed. In this way, a parallel museum will gradually emerge alongside every actual museum, a collection of “clear and appropriate” words capable of renewing the centuries-old link between text and image. For this edition writers Camilla Baresani, Letizia Muratori, and Giorgio Vasta have been invited to write about Trèfle by Dominique Gonzalez-Foerster at PAV Parco Arte Vivente, Audience II (Florence) by Thomas Struth at Castello di Rivoli, and Untitled (Roma [The Wall]) by Cy Twombly at GAM Galleria Civica d’Arte Moderna e Contemporanea.

Giorno per Giorno is an initiative sponsored by Fondazione per l’Arte Moderna e Contemporanea CRT
Coordinated by Artissima in the context of Contemporary Art Torino-Piemonte.
