Sandretto Re Rebaudengo Foundation turns 25 years old

Fondazione Sandretto Re Rebaudengo has reached the milestone of twenty-five years: it was April 6, 1995, when Patrizia Sandretto Re Rebaudengo signed the founding act of the new institution in Turin, making concrete the transition from the private collection to the open and shared dimension of the Fondazione.

In a letter addressed to artists, visitors, teachers, students and families who know and frequent the Foundation, one reads, “Of these twenty-five years, I have in mind a personal album of snapshots, of mental images that now, at a time of visual and informational overabundance, seem to me even sharper than photographs. They do not follow a chronology. They are works, exhibitions, people that tell a story and, together, directions and ways of understanding planning, artistic production, curating, education, and the relationship with the public. Accessibility, as a physical and democratic experience of contemporary culture. Some are now charged with new meanings.” After recalling some significant moments that have occurred during this span of time, Patrizia Sandretto Re Rebaudengo concludes, “The intelligence we receive from artists, works and exhibitions, enriched and returned by visitors, has traced the path of these twenty-five years. From this itinerary, shared day by day with each of the people who make up my staff, to whom goes my thanks one by one, we try today to draw the energy to think, rethink, figure, as much as possible, the changes of the world to come.”

Meanwhile, activities continue on the website and social platforms with special content: posts, workshops, interactive maps, virtual visits to Berlinde De Bruyckere’s Aletheia exhibition, meetings, e-learning projects and much more. The Foundation remains virtually open. For more information: http://fsrr.org/mostre/la-fondazione-apre-in-modo-virtuale/
