Curated by Carolyn Christov-Bakargiev,

Castello di Rivoli, Rivoli
28 April – 27 November 2022
Espressioni con Frazioni (Expressions with Fractions) is a major exhibition unfolding across the entire complex of Castello di Rivoli, a 17th-century baroque palace in the hills above Turin, from the historic galleries of the Castello, to the spaces of the Manica Lunga wing and gardens, to the Museum’s Theatre, the Cerruti Villa (a house museum that is part of Castello di Rivoli) and to the Casa del Conte Verde in the historic centre of the town.
The title refers to the fractured aspect of contemporary life during which art is experienced against the backdrop of disruptive elements such as the digital revolution, pandemics and war. The exhibition investigates the multiple forms of expressiveness, expression, expressivity and expressionism that run through the histories of art and societies.
