ICI Travels: Turin & Milan
April 24–30, 2022
Turin & Milan, Italy
From April 24-30, members of ICI met in Italy for a 6-day 6-night patrons trip to Turin and Milan. This exclusive program continued our engagement with ICI's 2019 Leo Award recipient, Patrizia Sandretto Re Rebaudengo who welcomed us to the Fondazione Sandretto Re Rebaudengo, an internationally acknowledged center for research, experimentation, and exchange between artists, critics, curators and collectors from all over the world. We had the pleasure of viewing exhibitions by artists Sayre Gomez (b.1982 Chicago, IL) and Daniela Ortiz (b. 1985, Cusco, Peru). Ortiz is featured in ICI's current traveling exhibition Notes for Tomorrow, one of the exhibitions generously supported by the INTERNATIONAL FORUM.
Highlights included visits to the Castello de Rivoli with a welcome by Marcella Beccaria, Chief Curator and Curator of Collections, to the Museo Egizio, Fondazione Merz, and top contemporary galleries Giorgio Persano, Franco Noero, and Mazzoleni.
The trip continued on to Milan with a stop along the way to tour Cittadellarte – Fondazione Pistoletto in Biella, a non-profit art center and cultural institution founded by influential Italian Arte Povera artist Michelangelo Pistoletto. Highlights in Milan included visits to the Fondazione Prada, Pirelli HangarBicocca and a special tour of Saul Steinberg at Triennale Milano. Top contemporary and emerging galleries such as Kaufmann Repetto, Massimo de Carlo, Clima, and Rafaella Cortese welcomed us, rounding out our art immersion.
