On Friday 6^th November at 2 pm the European Institute of Design of Turin   will host the presentation of the first three years of activity of the Rivoli2 Foundation, which was instituted with the purpose of promoting, documenting and experimenting the expressions of creativity and to give the different languages a chance to find a connection point in its area.

Taking place at the same time as Artissima and the events of ContemporaryArt, this meeting increases the cultural offer of the city, which will host the most groundbreaking art galleries in the contemporary Art scene during those days.

The meeting, with free admission, will be held by Alberto Mugnaini, historian and art critic, Giandomenico Di Marzio, journalist and Editor-in-Chief of the newspaper Il Giornale, from Milan, and Riccardo Balbo, director of the IED (European Institute of design) of Turin.

Exhibition of the works by Attilio Taverna

Sala delle Colonne, Castello del Valentino – Viale Mattioli 39, Torino

Attilio Taverna’s exhibition, called “math-art: doppia vita della luce”, will be open to the public from 3^rd to 20^th November at the Castle of Valentino (opening on 3^rd November 2015 at 5 pm).

Almost fifteen years after the last esthetic-scientific provocation, represented by the optical and perceptive experience, Taverna’s research revives today the bet on the fruitful bond between arts and science, with an elaboration that reinvents the pictorial language of abstraction in the light of the contributions given by the quantum physics.

Taverna’s research, which has already received important awards in the international scientific field, can represent a good chance for contemporary art, which is, now more then ever, looking for new directions. This is the argument pursued by the DIST (Interuniversity Department of regional and urban studies and planning of Polytechnic University and University of Turin) and the DISMA (Department of mathematical sciences “Giuseppe Luigi Lagrange” of Polytechnic University of Turin) departments, the creators of this exhibition, through the explication of interdisciplinary languages between arts and science.
