Faust Fest

Faust, Via della Rocca 41,

Faust Fest from November 1st to 4th at Faust in Via della Rocca is the brainchild of and curated by Gianluigi Ricuperati, offering an incredibly rich programme, which wouldn’t look out of place in a large museum in London or New York, radiating from a small nocturnal bookshop in Via Della Rocca and occupying thought into the beyond.

Ricuperati and his team (co-curators Giulia Nomis and Maurizio Cilli) have brought together some of the most fundamental names in the contemporary world of research, alongside curators and critics such as Carolyn Christov-Bakargiev, Hans-Ulrich Obrist and Donatien Grau, architects such as Italo Rota, designers such as Patricia Urquiola, philosophers such as Gianni Vattimo and Leonardo Caffo, writers such as Heidi Julavits, founder of The Believer (one of the most important literary magazines in the last twenty years) plus a series of special exhibitions by Cerith Wyn Evans, Stefano Graziani (back from a solo show at the Prada foundation), and an overview of the Turinese art fairs with Olga Gambari, Bruno Barsanti and Giorgio Galotti; in addition to interventions by outstanding interdisciplinary thinkers such as Maurizio Cilli, the Tate Gallery graphic designer, Zak Kyes, and English artist Dean Kenning, one of the most original voices on the British art scene.

November 1 – 4, 2018, Turin

Exhibitions:

Cerith Wyn Evans, Brion Gysin, William S. Burroughs, in collaboration with Guido Costa Art Projects – “Dream Machine/ Soft Machine”: A recreation of Brion Gysin’s and Ian Sommerville’s dreamachine, produced by Mike Smith studio. A cylindrical light-shades spinning on wooden platforms at 75 rpm. When looked at with closed eyes, the rotating, flickering light is meant to provoke an altered state of consciousness.

Stefano Graziani – “Carnac Ou Les Alignements”: The mysterious side of Carnac Stones are their alinements. Probably, they were used as tools for time observation and investigation: the long time we need to locate ourselves in the universe.

Gianluigi Ricuperati + Patricia Urquiola – “Proust Marbles”: Our words, My Heart, brief as marble sheets. A Proust memorial designed by Patricia Urquiola, produced by Henraux, the industry leader of marble processing.

Italo Rota – “Bearing Strangers”: How a rare shells collection can relate to Edgar Allan Poe’s only best seller, in a unique display provided by Ciam.
