Birds are doing it, bees are doing it, even butterflies and trees are doing it… The current show at Castello di Rivoli in Turin Mutual Aid: Art in Collaboration with Nature marks a new departure for exhibition-making by being entirely devoted to work created using the myriad forces of nature. Human artists may be the initiators but here all exhibits are shaped and often completed by the non-human world.

The community has benefited more than you could possibly know We are grateful," said Mayor Pat Thome on Monday The Rivoli Theatre opened its doors in 1936 to the Cedarburg community and has been in operation continuously since then the Marcus Corporation started leasing and showing movies there until the Cedarburg Landmark Preservation Society purchased the building in late 2006 The Preservation Society then enlisted the help of the Voigts to help get the one-screen theatre running The Voigts originally weren’t interested in running the Rivoli SIGN UP "They’ve done over and beyond," said Don Levy the founding member of the Preservation Society "The greatest pleasure I’ve ever had was giving them the keys to Rivoli .. They’re remarkable and they’ve made the Rivoli continue to be the gem of the city of Cedarburg We couldn’t have done it without you guys." Alice Voigt said they have loved every minute of living in Cedarburg "God has blessed us with so many opportunities and the Rivoli has been a long-term one for us .. It’s been wonderful and it keeps us involved with all the people in Cedarburg and all the newcomers and we really appreciate being able to be in a place where we can bless people with love and a good movie and the best popcorn," she said from the beginning to try to bring the Rivoli back," Jerry Voigt said and hopefully because of what the Preservation Society had done and all of the volunteers it will continue on beyond our lifetimes." The Voigts dedicated their lives to education Jerry Voigt also used to be the town of Cedarburg Board chairman he served on the boards of the Greater Cedarburg Foundation and was a cochairman on the Cedarburg Pool Fundraiser 10 things to know this week from the WOW counties (Waukesha Ozaukee and Washington) sent on Sundays Get the latest Ozaukee County news delivered Tuesday and Thursdays so you don't miss out on updates Have Ozaukee County breaking news alerts sent to your inbox as they happen Your browser is out of date and potentially vulnerable to security risks.We recommend switching to one of the following browsers: This year’s must-see shows range from a Nordic Pavilion exploring transgender spaces to a compelling Lebanese project confronting the realities of ecocide Frieze returns to The Shed in May with more than 65 of the world’s leading contemporary art galleries and the acclaimed Focus section led by Lumi Tan The director of Castello di Rivoli speaks about sharing institutional resources and relationships with local and international audiences Vanessa Peterson How have you found your first year as director of Castello di Rivoli but moved away in 2001 and have mostly lived abroad since – although I reconnected with the city when I was director of Artissima between 2010 and 2012 Castello di Rivoli is an institution that I have always admired and it’s been great to get to know its inner workings – not only to see what it needs but The response has been very positive because it’s a much-loved institution VP How do you see Castello di Rivoli’s relationship to the local versus the international FM I think that’s one of the most interesting questions institutions currently face I am trying to de-demonize the word ‘provincial’ because I firmly believe that it’s possible to be relevant both to your local community and on an international level I worked as artistic director of Tate Liverpool for five years [2012–17] but I don’t think I can apply Nicholas Serota’s method here and turn Castello di Rivoli into Tate Modern because this is not a vast building in the centre of a huge metropolis it’s a matter of hyper-localizing in order to become internationally relevant which is an approach we’re currently devising different strategies for I encountered a small but significant community of international artists Cally offered to run a summer school at Castello di Rivoli so I told her she could have operational carte blanche with one condition: we could only have people teaching on the course who live in Turin or the wider Piedmont region The school was designed for Italian artists who have finished their studies but have not had international educational opportunities We wanted to explore an approach that allows the local to flourish otherwise we run the risk of parachuting in a programme that is relevant internationally but may not really speak to our immediate public VP Do you have a sense of the kinds of communities living in Turin that might be curious to visit but haven’t yet done so – particularly since Castello di Rivoli is located some distance from the city centre FM There are various communities in the local area that we’re trying to engage with ‘Mutual Aid: Art in Collaboration with Nature’ the first show I’ve curated for Castello di Rivoli is intended to attract people to the gallery who are interested in the question of interspecies collaboration and the natural world even if they might not be familiar with contemporary art The works in this show will enable them to experience something that makes them say also nods to my approach to running the museum which involves reaching out to Turin’s network of local institutions Our approach shouldn’t be competitive: we should be working together and working with the public It’s not about telling audiences what to do or what to know; it’s about asking them whether there’s a way we can make what we do more relevant to them There is a barrier to access not only in relation to Castello di Rivoli but to contemporary art more generally throughout Italy museums are associated with academia and knowledge-creation: there’s this sense of division between the so-called experts and non-experts The question is: how do we make our institutions relevant and appealing to those who operate outside of academia we are constantly experimenting with new methods One thing we plan to do is to rehang our collection alongside 21st century artworks to try to make it as diverse as possible I also want to transform the third floor into a museum for children We’ll take iconic pieces from the collection by artists like Lucio Fontana and Claes Oldenburg working with a group of children and young people we’ll devise a narrative that articulates why these particular works are interesting I’m going to turn the third floor into an ‘Enchanted Castle’ – this is the title of the project – because its aim is to re-enchant the works through the eyes of our younger visitors VP The wall panel at the start of ‘Mutual Aid’ acknowledges the exhibition’s non-human collaborators – different species of trees for instance – alongside the artists whose works are on view FM I want to create as many instances as possible where the viewer is invited to interpret the work for themselves rather than being guided by the curatorial presentation Museums need to be places where one goes to ask questions I want to give the audience as many tools as possible to formulate their own ideas and readings of the show while leaving some level of indeterminacy You can present art on a theoretical level but if your audience can’t understand what you’re saying because different situations have different solutions I’ve experimented with this in previous roles we tried pairing artists’ exhibitions: Piet Mondrian with Nasreen Mohamedi [2014] and Jackson Pollock with Glenn Ligon [2015] I call it a cybernetic approach: you need to be listening all the time otherwise your programming becomes formulaic I’ve increased the number and diversity of visitors VP Can you speak more to the idea of collaborating with other local institutions funding has been shrinking radically in the arts and Castello di Rivoli is in a very different financial situation now than it was 15 years ago I’m working with my institutional colleagues in Turin – Chiara Bertola at the Gallery of Modern Art Davide Quadrio at the Museum of Oriental Art as well as Beatrice Merz and Patrizia Sandretto Re Rebaudengo at the two eponymous foundations – to find more radical ways of collaborating It’s an unconventional approach but one that can break down ingrained ways of working that no longer serve us we can go further and do more with the same budget FM I hope to establish a truly collaborative relationship with Castello di Rivoli’s many audiences Although the collection belongs to everyone and the building is publicly owned I would like to see an increase in emotional ownership The programme we have planned – which includes a range of new activities – aspires to achieve this goal of invested ownership I want to capture new audiences by creating additional reasons for them to visit ‘Mutual Aid: Art in Collaboration with Nature’ is on view at Castello di Rivoli Courtesy: Castello di Rivoli;

To celebrate the 40th anniversary of the Museum, two major exhibition projects are being held: a new display of the permanent collection, titled Ouverture 2024, dedicated to works produced since the 2000s, and the monumental installation Shade Between Rings of Air by Gabriel Orozco. On the occasion of its 40th anniversary, Castello di Rivoli presents two major new exhibitions, opening on Thursday 19 December 2024: the reinstallation of works from the museum’s collections, titled Ouverture 2024, in homage to the inaugural project of the Castello, curated by Rudi Fuchs; and the monumental installation Shade Between Rings of Air, 2003, by Gabriel Orozco. Curated by Marcella Beccaria and Francesco Manacorda Ouverture 2024 celebrates the 40th anniversary of Castello di Rivoli by creating a proposal for a 21st-century museum: rooted in Europe, but open to a broader global vision that gathers voices that have profoundly shaped the artistic discourse, drawing inspiration from principles of inclusion, social participation, and cultural engagement. The exhibition project marks the continuation of a journey toward the creation of an open, inclusive museum designed to engage diverse viewpoints and narratives. Ouverture 2024 aims to be a prelude to something yet to come, while being firmly rooted in what has preceded it, conceived as a journey through specific chapters of the history of Castello di Rivoli and its future, renewing its function as a device for knowledge, reflection, and personal and social growth. Gabriel Orozco – Shade Between Rings of Air As part of the celebrations for the 40th anniversary of Castello di Rivoli, starting Thursday 19 December 2024, the large installation Shade Between Rings of Air, 2003, by Gabriel Orozco (Xalapa, Mexico, 1962) will be on display in Room 18 of Castello, curated by Marcella Beccaria. After its initial presentation at the 50th Venice Biennale in 2003, Shade Between Rings of Air was exhibited at the Palacio de Cristal in Madrid and later at the Palacio de Bellas Artes in Mexico City in 2004. The new installation is developed specifically for Castello di Rivoli and is created in dialogue with the artist.

Carolyn Christov-Bakargiev – director of Castello di Rivoli until the end of 2023 – has consistently emphasized this in her interviews just as it was clear to her predecessors: Rudi Fuchs and later Beatrice Merz with Andrea Bellini coincides with the staging of a major exhibition designed both to showcase the museum’s collection and to set out the vision for its future evolution “Amorphophallus titanum” (“The Titan Arum”) Castello di Rivoli Museo d’Arte Contemporanea Gift of the Supporting Friends and Benefactors of the Castello di Rivoli Courtesy Castello di Rivoli Museo d’Arte Contemporanea marking the fortieth anniversary of Castello di Rivoli (the first Italian museum exclusively dedicated to contemporary art) Ouverture 2024 draws its title from the inaugural exhibition curated by Rudi Fuchs in 1984 echoing its programmatic intent: to project a vision for the future While that exhibition presented an ideal selection of works proposed for the museum’s collection the current show aims to critically interrogate its significance after four decades The idea of a museum developing in parallel with its collection – a key distinction from a kunsthalle which is exclusively focused on temporary exhibitions – is reaffirmed with particular emphasis on this anniversary Ouverture 2024 is not a thematic exhibition but a public manifestation of the collection itself pressing issues and potential directions for the future are clearly reflected blending established artistic trends with the museum’s latest acquisitions including works selected at the most recent edition of Artissima This configuration positions the museum as an institution that embraces «multiple modernities and parallel systems of knowledge as articulated by Marcella Beccaria and Francesco Manacorda This openness builds on a trajectory that had already begun under Carolyn Christov-Bakargiev who broadened the historical scope of the collection through the inclusion of the Fondazione Cerruti ancient art collection housed at Villa Cerruti; not to mention her pioneering joint directorship with the GAM (Galleria d’Arte Moderna) in Turin strengthened by the current period of renewal in Turin The recent appointments of Chiara Bertola at GAM and Davide Quadrio at MAO (Museo d’Arte Orientale) have created a fertile environment where the leadership of the three museums engage in dialogue to foster more inclusive and less Western-centric narratives super 16 mm film and HD video transferred to HD video Rivoli-Torino on loan from Fondazione per l’Arte Moderna e Contemporanea CRT This dialogue between the past and the future is fully expressed in the works on display It is these works that make tangible the complexity of current urgencies The first pieces address the environment and the climate crisis enriching the themes of cohabitation and collaboration explored in Mutual Aid the temporary exhibition currently on view in the Manica Lunga Richard Long engages in dialogue with Ingela Ihrman The connection between them lies in their shared relationship with nature a realm in which the British artist loved to walk and from which he sourced the materials for his works Organic matter is a common thread for both artists: the mud used in Long’s wall paintings and the wheat flour in Ihrman’s botanical sculptures guides the visitor toward the next encounter between Michelangelo Pistoletto and Roni Horn Through the division of mirrored surfaces in L’architettura dello specchio Pistoletto proposed an approach that challenged the logic of accumulation and exclusion in which it is impossible to see one’s reflection become a vehicle for a flow of thoughts that dissolve into the depths of the river The reflection that takes shape – in its anatomical sense and collides with an inescapable reality is at the heart of Sara Enrica’s works Recently acquired by the collection with one of her concrete sculptures the artist evokes gestural scores typical of the iconography of rest despite the raw material chosen being anything but soft overall dimensions determined by the space on loan from Fondazione per l’Arte Moderna e Contemporanea CRT Despite the physical distance between them on the floor plan of Castello di Rivoli Pierre Huyghe and Anna Boghiguian metaphorically employ the same language – using fictional storytelling as a tool – to narrate two geographically distant tales The French artist is present on the first floor with a cinematic piece focused on a group of scholars’ journey to Antarctica determined to explore the newly exposed lands due to melting ice The journey referenced in Anna Boghiguian’s environmental installation According to the Egyptian artist’s narrative the wreckage displayed in the exhibition would have emerged from the melting ice becoming witnesses to the politics of salt – a precious preservative and currency of exchange since the time of Alexander the Great “A Proposal for Syncretism – This Time Without Genocide” The exhibition route concludes with a reflection on the consequences of colonialism whose walls are adorned with exotic bird feathers and their names alludes to the verbal appropriation by Europeans in tropical America paints plant species introduced into Italy following Christopher Columbus’s voyages forces our gaze onto the consequences of wartime destruction conceals the remnants of buildings destroyed by Russian bombings The intention of the original Ouverture survives in today’s installation, with its free associations and unexpected juxtapositions, preserving at Rivoli the spirit of «[…] a castle with diverse works where one can walk from one surprise to another[1]» Ouverture 2024 sends a clear signal of resilience presenting itself as a manifesto for the art museum: a space capable of engaging with a layered past symbolically represented by the baroque walls housing the collection while also projecting itself into a future where diversity and alternative systems of thought find meaningful representation [1] L Intervista con Rudi Fuchs regista della mostra internazionale di Rivoli www.castellodirivoli.org His work focuses on themes related

for receiving and transmitting a universal message Matilde offers herself as a blank page and mirror for collective thought prompting reflection on the multiple layers that make up the narratives we tell ourselves The performance draws inspiration from the history of Castello which in its own way is an ultimate palimpsest particularly from the inscriptions found on its walls left by soldiers

of the international art scene for a week contemporary art events and exhibitions develop in a capillary way Through three exhibitions visited on the occasion of the fair (Retinal Rivality by Cyprien Gaillard in the spaces of OGR Clara e altre storie by Rossella Biscotti and the group show Mutual Aid at Castello di Rivoli) we will try to investigate the common elements and themes towards which contemporary art is moving Critics have long been divided between those championing committed politically active art and those who are valuing the poetic independence of the artistic product from its political function While the fair staged the art market’s competitive dynamics neighboring institutions present exhibitions relevant to every polìtes of the city this isn’t political art in the traditional sense like that of the protest era: now the artists use current events as images in some cases it’s obvious their will to bring out forgotten and controversial stories like a complex systems of signs that they reinterpret through artistic language in Cyprien Gaillard’s “Retinal Rivalry” we witness the transformation of the Renaissance composer Orlande de Lassus’s statue in Munich photos and flowers in memory of Michael Jackson a video installation co-commissioned and co-produced by OGR Torino is an exploration of stereoscopic cinema’s visual potential Through the immersive qualities of the 3d projection the artist is able to incorporate the viewer into the forgotten monuments the new virtual sculpture creates a relationship with the ancient statuary Through a journey into the German urban environment he propose pictures like Burger King inside housed in a former Nazi rally venue in Nuremberg or abandoned monuments used as a background of daily life that goes without considering them The theme of visibility and invisibility extends to Rossella Biscotti’s solo exhibition at Castello di Rivoli In this anthological exhibition a journey through forgotten stories is proposed the Italian artist’s attempt is to bring the repressed history to the viewer’s mind presided over in the “Bunker Hall” of the Foro Italico between 1982 and 1984 where members of Autonomia Operaia and Potere Operaio were accused This event was the first real political trial in Italy The work consists of an audio part of the live recording of the trial and the sculptural reconstruction of some parts of the bunker Rossella Biscotti’s images are focused on voids of history debated and controversial and often hidden moments Her practice essentially works on emptiness

microscopic organisms that float on the seabed and are the major producers of oxygen for our planet “Hybrid Dark solitary semi-social Cluster Kepler-20 b built by: a solo Lyniphiidae sp courtesy the artist and Pinksummer Gallery © Tomás Saraceno This latest work introduces another aspect on which the artists are working: if on one side the social aspect is highlighted in the interest in history and the monument the great theme is the relationship that man maintains with nature which is also explored at the Rivoli castle through the exhibition Mutual Aid curated by Francesco Manacorda and Marianna Vecellio The path develops by including artists from the sixties to today If we follow Rossella Biscotti’s warning in the work Crude oil whom warns us about man’s pollution on nature caused by oil extraction and the consequent oil spills into the sea the Mutual Aid exhibition proposes a solution through collaboration and not with the artist’s exploitation on nature The natural element often creates the artistic product making the “long sleeve” of the castle an organism composed of small living and intelligent cells This mutual support is specified in the practice of Tomás Saraceno the Argentine artist explores interspecies collaboration giving visibility to the light and perfect textures created by the arachnids with which they build their own shelters or cases to protect themselves The result of this collaboration with the world of insects is formalized as small jewels made by microscopic blacksmiths who imaginatively build their baroque homes the entire exhibition explores the creative potential of the collaboration between artist and nature proposing a silent rescue for this one world are some of the images that characterize this path that art is tracing
