The GAM of Turin in Its New Splendid Look  
A renewed museum route between collection and "intruders"

Under the new direction of Chiara Bertola, the Galleria d'Arte Moderna (GAM) of Turin has revamped its permanent exhibition. Alongside one of Europe’s most significant collections of artist films and videos, the collection features an extraordinary core of Arte Povera works. In the new layout, visitors can view Attaccapanni (di Napoli) by Luciano Fabro, as well as works by Jannis Kounellis, Michelangelo Pistoletto, and Pino Pascali. Don’t miss the section dedicated to the “Living Depot,” which challenges the traditional museum concept in favor of a hybrid experience between storage and exhibition space.

Nishi-Shinjuku Complex in Tokyo Celebrates Thirty Years

Among skyscrapers, monumental works by Arte Povera artists  

Magazzino Italian Art in Cold Spring, NY

The American Home of Arte Povera

Thirty years ago, Giulio Paolini, Luciano Fabro, Hidetoshi Nagasawa, Giuseppe Penone, and Gilberto Zorio completed public installations in Tokyo’s Nishi-Shinjuku district. This highly urbanized area, one of Japan’s first to promote skyscraper construction in the 1970s, features Arte Povera works centered around a grand plaza. At the heart lies Giulio Paolini’s Meridiana, accompanied by Hierapolis, Astronomical Clock, and Kaleidoscope, exploring architectural vision and perspectives. Nearby, Le stelle di Tokyo, an installation by Gilberto Zorio, adorns the sidewalk, while Luciano Fabro’s marble work I Passi, Giuseppe Penone’s Unghia e marmo, and Hidetoshi Nagasawa’s Pleiadi grace the adjacent fountain.
