For this project I was the Visual Designer and the Assistant of the Set Designer.
I've done the graphics, the video projection that introduce in the exhibition and i was the one that coordinates the crew of techicians that sets up the set design.
"TO_SH Turin Shanghai Art Dialogues" a group show of the work of thirty young artists, fifteen of whom are based in Turin and fifteen of whom are based in Shanghai.
The "TO_SH" project, conceived and orchestrated by IGAV (the Garuzzo Institute for the Visual Arts) in partnership with the Faculty of Design at Shanghai's East China Normal University, arose out of a desire to compare and contrast, for the very first time, two radically different cities between which, however, parallels do exist: both have a cultural, political and social history stretching back millennia and both benefit from the presence of consolidated traditions that – widespread globalisation notwithstanding – still anchor the artistic imagination that comes to life in these respective metropolitan areas to the solid bedrock of a strong, shared memory. The finissage is been organized on 16th October 2013: an event with Radio One Lab to talk about Italy and China.
The exhibition in Turin (Saluzzo Paesana Palace)
For TO_SH in Turin, IGAV has put together – in collaboration with the Ajani-Morachioli studio – an ecological staging solution, which uses out-of the ordinary re-faced and recycled materials, with a view to ensuring that the exhibition space itself is all about re-utilisation and energy efficiency.
This approach is very much aligned with IGAV's green policy, whereby it endeavours to stage events that are highly eco-sustainable. As such, IGAV's projects are marked by a dedication towards ethical, eco-friendly implementation, which is geared towards reducing environmental impact through the deployment of eco-compatible, recycled and recyclable materials.
