viadellafucina16 Condominio-Museo

Viadellafucina16 is the first international experiment of a building that functions both as condominium and museum. Located in the Turin district of Porta Palazzo, where the biggest open-air European market is held, the building is the location of a residency programme run by the association. Artists are selected through international open calls, with the aim to animate the building’s common spaces with their intervention, so to riqualificate the ancient 19th century structure, now in decline. The projects brings together different audiences, from the residents of the building itself to the participating artists and a board of curators and professionals of the field, with the aim to awake a new dialogue within the community through artistic production. Viadellafucina16 has created the world’s first condominium art collection. The artworks and site-specific interventions remain permanently on display in the building’s communal spaces, becoming an integral part of both the architecture and the everyday lives of its residents.
Artists in residence are free to create and present their work throughout the building’s shared spaces, from the entrance hall and the staircase spanning all five floors to the cellars, attic, rooftop terrace and spacious garden.
