Dalì At Stupinigi

Salvador Dalì The Exhibition at the Palazzina Della Caccia of Stupinigi.


It is held in the ancient kitchen of the hunting palace at Stupinigi, the visitors will have the pleasure of admiring a unique exhibition of its kind, a new collection for the city of Turin, which exhibits various aspects of Dalì's artistic production, consisting of monumental sculptures, bronzes, books illustrated and glassware.

Advertised as :  Dalì's most popular works, the different aspects of his artistic production, in a unique collection of its kind, for the first time in Turin.

Well, the exhibition does sound exciting and interesting, but after visiting, I found it rather plain and lacking.

 

Not sure whether it is because of the lack of interesting exhibited pieces or the unexciting arrangement of the exhibition, it lacks of a flow to follow through the various aspects of the artist's artistic production and lacks of a spark to excit the visitor's interest.

It is like looking at some side products of some of the artist's more famous works, without showing a single piece of the famous paintings.

It is like looking at some conceptural ideas of his masterpieces and try to recall how those masterpieces actually look like and imagine the link between them.

The entrance full price is 18 euro, just for the exhibition, 11.50 euro with a subscribed annual museum card. It doesn't seem worth it.

Location : Palazzina della Caccia Stupinigi

The Black Wolves

A pack of black wolves with bloodly jaws crowding against a pile of book s, , this dramatic art exhibition with strong social content is the work of chinese artist Liu Ruo Wang.


It is installed in the Cortile del Rettorato of the University Of Turin.



The message of the artist is a protest against the increasingly materialized society which indifference towards arts, religion and culture, it is also a complaint towards those in power of their disinterest in culture.

Spiderman In The Gallery

Galleria Davico in Galleria Subalpina often displays interesting art pieces which we enjoy every much looking at. They have just finished an exhibition named 'This is not a toy', which toyed with the images of toys in a way we have never seen before.




On top of the entrance, Spiderman with a rather different suit was hanging up there.
