CRIPTA747 – Catania

CRIPTA747 is a non-profit visual art organisation founded in Turin in 2008: it is a place for research, exchange and production where the artistic practices face the contemporary debate. Through a programme of exhibitions, screenings and events, CRIPTA747 investigates new forms and languages with the aim of giving back to the audience an authentic and fresh vision.

Since 2017, CRIPTA747 organise two new programmes dedicated to international mobility: Residency, to support research with fellowships, and Studio, a project of shared work space with a focus on production.

Opened in 2021, the space at 15F Via Catania occupies a former workshop with two large street-facing windows, situated in the Borgo Rossini area of Aurora. It serves primarily as an exhibition space and artists’ studio, providing a base for the residency programme and hosting both periods of individual artistic practice and public presentations.
