Artissima curates the production of Euridome, a luminous installation supported by Consulta per la Valorizzazione dei Beni Artistici e Culturali di Torino and Unione Industriali Torino, created by Erik Saglia (Torino, 1989), Thomas Brambilla gallery, Bergamo.
The installation joins the circuit Costellazione of Luci d’Artista 27. The project celebrates the assignment to Torino of the title of Capitale della Cultura d’Impresa 2024, offering the territory and the community a tangible sign of this achievement.
Euridome will be installed on the façade of the headquarters of the city’s business associations (Via Fanti 17) starting on 25 October, the opening day of Luci d’Artista, and it will continue to be visible to the public over time.
Erik Saglia has created this new site-specific installation in continuity with his latest series of works, Manifesti Satellite, inspired by the natural satellites of the solar system. With this work, he wants to recreate a cosmogony made of lines that cross, curve, combine and remove themselves, to the point of generating patterns that can be containers of knowledge. An orbital movement around the façade of the Unione Industriali Torino building – also the location of the Consulta since its founding in 1987 – evokes the attractions and influences of the satellites generated by the planets to which they belong. The concept promotes the development of the territory through culture.
Every satellite in the work has the capacity to reflect light, symbolizing the spread of knowledge and ideas, with the aim of recognizing the value of each single business, each single project of revitalization and development of heritage, each single satellite idea that contributes to the evolution of a society based on innovation and culture, key values in the operation of Unione Industriali and Consulta.
A project that emphasizes the importance of the match between culture and enterprise, contributing to generate opportunities, wellbeing and social inclusion. A principle around which the entire program of initiatives organized by Unione Industriali Torino is organized, in collaboration with its partners for Torino Capitale della Cultura d’Impresa 2024, which includes a talk focusing precisely on this theme, held at the Meeting Point of Artissima.
