Frenetic Standstill is the title of the physical exhibitions of Artissima Unplugged (open until February 12, 2021) hosted in the museums of Fondazione Torino Musei (GAM – Galleria Civica d’Arte Moderna e Contemporanea, Palazzo Madama – Museo Civico d’Arte Antica, and MAO Museo d’Arte Orientale).

The Corte Medievale, the historic core of Palazzo Madama, will welcome about 30 works selected together with galleries of the 2020, 2019 and 2018 editions of New Entries, the youngest and most experimental galleries open for a maximum of 5 years. Orchestrated by Ilaria Bonacossa and Valerio Del Baglivo, in this atmosphere the theme of frenetic standstill takes on a disturbing and vaguely supernatural character. In the Corte, the location of Artissima Unplugged Frenetic Standstill, the various phases of construction of the building are visible, from the remains of the Porta Romana (or “Decumana”) to the medieval arches.
