The GAM of Torino is pleased to present the first major Italian exhibition dedicated to the American artist Mary Heilmann, born in San Francisco in 1940. The exhibition, curated by Chiara Bertola, director of GAM, was realised in collaboration with the artist and Studio Heilmann of New York. Mary Heilmann is one of the most important contemporary abstract painters. The exhibition traces the sixty years of her career, from her early geometric paintings of the 1970s to her recent shaped canvases in fluorescent colours. The sixty works in the exhibition illustrate her joyful output and offer a broad look at her playful approach to abstraction, touching on fundamental passages and thematic cores of her oeuvre.
Born in California, Heilmann studied poetry, ceramics, and sculpture before moving to New York in 1968, where, after arriving as a sculptor, she turned to painting in response to the predominance of sculptors among her contemporaries. This exhibition explores Heilmann’s formal approach to painting and abstraction, highlighting the autobiographical themes that run through her work. Her practice overlaps the analytical geometries of minimalism with the spontaneous ethos of the Beat Generation. She is distinguished by her often unorthodox and always explosive approach to colour and form. Her art is influenced by the counterculture of the 1970s, the free speech movement and the surfing spirit of her native California, and even anticipated the Beat culture and the subsequent protest movements against the system.

Turin Egyptian Museum is amazing &hellip; seeing faces stare back from 4000 years ago. Egyptians made huge efforts to ensure their lives lived on beyond death. In these exhibits they do. Images of people and lives from thousands of years ago lead us to try and understand how they thought, how they lived. Arms wrapped around each other&rsquo;s shoulders, their love lives on. Everyday objects, a bed, a side table, 4000 years old but preserved as if they were made yesterday.  The array of objects and images is astonishing. Carved from hard volcanic rock, painted with mineral pigments, these objects and images still live like the day they were made. Kings and gods sit silently and stare through the years, unchanged.

Breathtaking! A MUST see in Turin!Built in the 16th century and later modernized by Christine Marie of France in the 17th century, with designs by the Baroque architect Filippo Juvarra.

The film museum is unexpectedly interesting! I thought it was just a simple introduction to the development of film history, but found that in addition to film history, it also introduced optical, light refraction, image presentation, film production evolution, etc. It also includes movie scenes, which make people feel in it, which is an interesting experience.

Piazza San Carlo

320***77

San Carlo Square is well worth a visit! From Porta Nuova train station, walk straight along the central axis for five minutes, and you can also go all the way to the green Po River to enjoy the scenery on both sides of the Straits. Some restaurants along the way are affordable, or walk across the bridge to the Church of the Mother of God.
