Cerruti Collection, “More and more commissions for artists” – Il Tempo

Turin, 21 November (askanews) – “What I can tell you, what is happening now and what will happen, what will happen in 2026, is a huge effort in welcoming and accessing the collection, not only from a physical point of view, but also from a curatorial, narrative and public point of view. There will be a lot of communication efforts that we will start to do, even we are not on social media for example, so this is already a very important thing. There is also some infrastructure work that we are doing in the collection, but the fundamental thing is that unfortunately we can’t collect anymore, we have to find other ways to be useful for living artists, for today’s art ecology and therefore all these small digital, infrastructural, visible, invisible changes are all assigned to artists. Therefore Francesca Bertolotti-Bailey, responsible for the collection program and strategy of the Cerruti di Rivoli Foundation, told askanews the news about the museum house, which is also developing a project with Castello di Rivoli.

“So this is what we are doing and now we are in front of a Fontana work, ‘Concetto spatial: expectations’ from 1965 which is in the Cerruti collection and would normally be in the Villa Cerruti, and instead it was brought here to the Castello di Rivoli by an artist, Gala Porras Kim, who we invited to work in the villa and in the Castle and to work out exactly what a domestic play is and, let’s say, the institutional status of the Castle to try to translate the meaning and it does. one way we have to support today’s artists, commissions, commission, commission,” he added.
