Seminal Arte Povera artist Gilberto Zorio, part of Magazzino Italian Art’s ongoing exhibition, greeted the art space’s co-founders Nancy Olnick and Giorgio Spanu on December 6, 2017 at Castello di Rivoli in Turin, currently showcasing the artist’s latest show.
Simply titled “Gilberto Zorio,” this display presents works spanning over 50 years in the artist’s career, including never-before-seen installations that had been guarded in Zorio’s private collection. Curated in non-chronological order, the show aims at highlighting some of the pivotal creeds throughout his works, including alchemy, time energy, and matter—as well as leaning into the dimensions of sounds, air, and space. On view are also group drawings from unrealized projects, along with new site-specific installations created for Castello di Rivoli, which will feature the show until February 18, 2018.
