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.

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 palace also includes the Palazzo Chiablese and the Chapel of the Holy Shroud. Tip: Allow a good 2 hours to see the beauty of this palace and the museum. You won&rsquo;t be disappointed!

To Turin, you must first go to the Castle Square on Garibaldi Avenue. There is a visitor center on the left side of the Turin Palace. Buy a museum + public transportation card here. This card is very money-saving. You can enter almost all museums in Turin (including the Egyptian Museum) for free. You can take the bus and subway unlimited times. ​ I suffered a loss when I first arrived. Yesterday I bought a public transportation card at the smoke shop (small convenience store) on the street. Before I came, I was afraid that the tickets for the Egyptian Museum on the spot would not be easy to buy. I spent 18 euros on the Internet to buy the tickets for the Egyptian Museum. Yesterday, I also spent 10 euros to see three museums, and the net loss was at least 30 euros. ​ But I also thought about it. It was normal to spend money in strange places. The main purpose of the trip is to be happy.

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.

Juventus Stadium

E18***57

The Juventus stadium in Turin, Italy, was very large, just at night, the lighting and sound were shocking, there were many locals, the shouts were one after another, the surrounding environment was good, I went there and didn&#39;t go in, a ticket was 100 euros. My colleague went inside. I pulled two suitcases, but fortunately there were food, drink and fun around. I put the suitcase in the supermarket and bought a symbolic thing. It was a warehouse supermarket. The things were dazzling. I looked stunned. They were all brand-name things. Our luggage is limited and can&#39;t be taken. I went to another supermarket to buy all kinds of sports goods, wow, that stuff! The lively people outside the stadium were screaming.
