THE DARING PILOTS OF THE 1920S
EXHIBITION On show until the beginning of January are 80 photographs from Adriano Scoffone’s photographic archive, consisting of almost 40,000 plates in total. This is a journey back in time to the great Cuneo-Colle della Maddalena race, where the daring drivers Nuvolari, Varzi and Campari challenged each other with their turns on the white Alpine hairpin bends. In addition to the evocative images of the period, visitors can find three legendary cars (including the Alfa Romeo P2), large scenographies and a musical poem composed for the occasion that makes the exhibition immersive.

ABOUT LABOR
ART & EVENTS In a place symbolic of the transition towards new models of productivity, the installations, sculptures, videos and performances of 13 artists invite us to observe the remains of a recent industrial past and the ambivalence of today’s working conditions: OGR Torino hosts a collective exhibition to reflect on the transformation of work in the post-industrial and digital context, between awareness and disillusionment, precariousness and redemption. The exhibition includes works by: Andrea Bowers, Pablo Bronstein, Claire Fontaine, Tyler Coburn, Jeremy Deller, Kevin Jerome Everson, LaToya Ruby Frazier, Elisa Giardina Papa, Liz Magic Laser, Adam Linder, Sidsel Meineche Hansen, Mike Nelson, and Charlotte Posenenske. Free entrance. T hurs and Fri, 12noon to 8pm; Sat and Sun, 10am-8pm.

FONDAZIONE MERZ, UNTIL 31 DECEMBER
MARISA AND MARIO MERZ. TOGETHER
CONTEMPORARY ART A new exhibition project presents in a single path the work of Marisa and Mario Merz, two different but intimately linked modes of expression, an artistic dialogue through a reflection on the sense of time and space. Marisa dedicates herself to studying the structure of female faces through drawing, painting and sculpture; here her activity is intertwined with that of Mario, who on each occasion has reinvented his igloo through the use of ever different materials. The domestic dimension is no different from the museum: as in their homestudio, the visitor will be immersed in a continuous dialogue, discovering works that have never been seen before.
>> From Tuesday 2 November, the exhibition will be enriched by new works from Richard Long, Giulio Paolini and Remo Salvadori: three works that discreetly fit into the dialogue between the Merz, occupying spaces that had been left vacant in anticipation of this event.

CITY LIGHTS
ENTERTAINMENT November is the month of contemporary art in Turin and, for the past 24 years, it has kicked off with ‘Luci d’Artista’, a light art show featuring exquisite luminous artworks that, like an open-air art gallery, light up numerous squares and streets throughout the city. As dusk falls (from 6pm until midnight), take a stroll and look upwards to admire installations, known and loved by the Torinese, like Daniel Buren’s ‘Flying Carpet’ in piazza Palazzo di Città, Michelangelo Pistoletto’s ‘Love Difference’ and Mario Merz’s ‘The Flight of Numbers’ which this year will once again illuminate the dome of the Mole Antonelliana with the Fibonacci’s sequence.

DIGNITY AND SOLEMNITY OF FATTORI
MODERN ART A major retrospective devoted to the work of the Leghorn artist Giovanni Fattori (1825-1908), one of the absolute masters of nineteenth-century Italy who was able to interpret the themes of the great Risorgimento battles and also subjects linked to life in the fields and the rural landscape. Sixty masterpieces arranged in chronological and thematic sequence, from 1954 to 1984, when his gaze opened up to the imminent twentieth century.

ARTIST LANDSCAPESES
EXHIBITION The purpose of the exhibition held in the majestic
Citroniera of the Juvarra Stables
(once a shelter for the citrus plants of the Gardens) is to document interest and passion for love, sensitivity for Nature and passion
for uncontaminated landscapes
of numerous artists of the past, from pre-Romantic painters of the late eighteenth century to contemporary masters. Over 200 works including paintings, photographs, videos and installations from important Italian museums and private collections are the protagonists of this event dedicated to the “green” theme.

LEONARDO DA VINCI
EXTRAORDINARY EXHIBITIONS Some of Leonardo da Vinci’s most famous drawings are preserved in a vault in the heart of the Royal Library of Turin: the “Codex on the Flight of Birds” and 13 drawings, including the famous “SelfPortrait”. The exceptionally valuable works documenting the activity of the great master of the Italian Renaissance – from the beginning of his career in Florence to his Milanese studies of machines – will only be exhibited to the public during Easter Holy Week in the coming years, in order to prevent long exposure from damaging them. This longterm planning will therefore make it possible to plan one's visit at a fixed time, preparing oneself in advance.
>> The dates are: 16-24 April 2022, 8-16 April 2023, 30 March-7 April 2024 and 19-27 April 2025.
