KM011 – Fifteen years of artistic influences in Turin

KM011 is a project conceived by Luca Beatrice with the collaboration of the Piedmont Region, of the Teatro Stabile of Torino and of the Istituto Europeo di Design of Turin, and the patronage of the OAT – The Order of Architects of the Province of Turin – and FIP – Film Investment Piedmont.
The aim is to show the contamination between visual arts, architecture, cinema and literature that accompanied the transformation of Turin from 1995 to the present, from the city of the big industry to the capital city of contemporary culture. A journey that begins in the nineties, in one of the most difficult decades of its history, but at the same time a particularly creative and exciting: in those years Turin reinforced its identity as a city of laboratory and incubator of creative experimentation.
And so was born KM011, the exhibition-event that opens today February 11^th in Turin: an exhibition “zero kilometre” – set up inside the Regional Museum of Natural Sciences – made ​​with a total budget of 60 thousand euro: a “sustainable” cost, based on the quality within a virtuous economy. There are four main themes of KM011: visual arts, architecture, cinema and literature, with the addition of two special events dedicated to music and fashion.
In particular, the section of the exhibition dedicated to architecture, curated by Barbara Brondi and Marco Rainò, presents a review of studies and practitioners active in the 90s within the boundaries of the metropolitan area: ARCHICURA, Workshop Studio, Camerana & Partners, carlorattiassociati – Walter Nicolino & Carlo Ratti, Cliostraat, Elastico SPA, Frlan + Jansen architects, Raymond Guidacci maat architecture, MARC, Blue Store, Luciano Pia, Peak architects, Studioata, Studio Granma, UDA, Ventidieci associated architects.
