Rivoli Castle and GAM in Turin will host the exhibition "The Emotion of Colors in Art" from March 14 to July 23, 2017

Turin’s GAM and the Manica Lunga of the Rivoli Castle will host the exhibition "The Emotion of Color in Art," curated by Carolyn Christov-Bakargiev, Marcella Beccaria, Elena Volpato and Elif Kamisli, from March 14 to July 23, 2017.

The main thread of the exhibition is color, analyzing the history, inventions and use of it in art from the 18th century to the present. Not only color from the artistic point of view, but also philosophical, biological, anthropological and neuroscientific. Four hundred works created by more than 130 different artists from the Reina Sofia Museum in Madrid, the Paul Klee Zentrum in Bern, Tate Britain in London, the Munchmuseet in Oslo, the Lucio Fontana Foundation in Milan, and other international museums.

Thus, works by great artists such as Kandinsky, Munch, Klee, Turner, Manet, Mondrian, Matisse, Balla, Rothko, Fontana, Castellani, Warhol, and Turcato will be on display. New is the presence of neuroscientist Vittorio Gallese, who during the exhibition will direct, for the first time worldwide, a scientific study workshop on the experience of the public in front of works of art.

Carolyn Christov-Bakargiev, the director of the two museums in Turin, said, “During the past century there have been many exhibitions on color starting with the theories of perception that became popular in the 1960s. That kind of approach descends from a universalistic notion of perception and its claimed objective value, far removed from today’s awareness of the complexity of meanings contained in color.”
