Arte Alle Corti - Analgesia

An exhibition path of installations and sculptures of contemporary art, in the courts of the great historical palaces.

The exhibition of art in various courtyards in the city is back. After years of absence, probabely due to a mayor who was not so knee into art and culture, finally after the change of mayor, the exhibition is back.

The project includes 55 outdoor artistic works in 13 courtyards and 3 gardens, and an exhibition of artistic works on the main floor of Palazzo Birago di Borgaro. Widespread exhibition, dynamic art that develops outdoors, through 13 courtyards and 3 gardens of courtly and institutional Turin. Courts like galleries, like stages, like places of art, capable of getting involved and welcoming and communicating with artistic works. Art at the Courts is to be experienced as a walk en plein air, moving on foot and with a map in hand, along an ideal fil rouge that connects different points of the city center, through the courtly architecture. It is a way to get to know and take possession of an often unknown territory, albeit everyday and familiar, made obvious by the habit and inability to really look around. The project, in fact, is aimed first of all at the citizens themselves, as well as at tourists: a public invited to enter these wonderful treasure chests, transformed into open scenes thanks to art.

Arte alle corti is not only an international event of contemporary art, but can also be considered a tool with which to generate positive economic impacts through the expenditure that the public, citizens and tourists, will activate in the area along the urban art route. It is an event that can therefore generate socio-cultural, but also economic, impacts. 

In the Royal Courtyard, is the work of Paolo Grassino, Analgesia.

View From The Inside Of The Royal Garden

The other side of the Royal garden is re-opened again, and it seems that there are some changes made. The plantation is tidied up, new paths are cleared up, leaving the view of La Mole more visible behind the Rai auditorium.

A view that we have not noticed before....

Men Dressed Up

Not sure what was happening, we were walking under the arcade along via Po, two figures with mini skirts walked past us.

When I took a look, I realised that they were actually two men.

Since they were just causally chatting with each other, not disturbing anyone, thus, no one actually made a fuss about their appearance. 

The most, some people gave them a glance with slight surprise.

Come to think about it, in Torino, people are seldom get offended by 'out' of norm appearance or behaviour.
