From February 25th to March 27th 2022 OGR Torino presents two exhibitions for a new relationship with time: HERE by Maria Hassabi, curated by Samuele Piazza with Nicola Ricciardi at Binario 1, and HARDSCAPES by Nina Canell, curated by Samuele Piazza with Lorenzo Giusti at Binario 2.
A sculptural environment takes over Binario 1 creating the landscape for HERE, a live-installation by Maria Hassabi, commissioned by Secession and Wiener Festwochen - Vienna, produced by OGR Torino in collaboration with Onassis Foundation - Athens with the support of Milvus Artistic Research Center (MARC) - Knislinge, and Onassis Stegi - Athens. The bodies of the artist plus five dancers inhabit the sculpture and navigate a choreography that unfolds at a decelerated pace, inviting visitors to join in a mutual sharing of time and presence. Immersed in a constant continuum, the dancers’ movements create a situation of everchanging presence unveiling the slippery nature of the here and now. Since the early 2000s, Maria Hassabi has created a unique choreographic practice focused on stillness and the space in-between movements. At the core of her choreographies, stillness and deceleration are used both as technique and as subject, while the performing body oscillates between dance and sculpture, subject and object, live body and still image.
At Binario 2 Nina Canell’s HARDSCAPES, in collaboration with GAMeC Bergamo, creates an ideal dialogue with the artist’s exhibition commissioned and produced as part of the Meru Art*Science Research Program at the Bergamo museum. A large led-wall shows Energy Budget (2017-18) – a video work created together with Robin Watkins that probes the different ways in which energy manifests and circuits, sometimes invisibly, in unprecedented symbioses between nature and the anthropic environment. Alongside the video-sculpture, the artist has also conceived specifically for OGR a new version of her work Muscle Memory (16 Tonnes) (2021), originally commissioned by GAMeC: simultaneously created and destroyed by the movement and density of bodies, a floor of seashells literally crumbles under the feet of visitors. The seashells that make up the sculpture are actually the raw material found at the core of most of our built world, being calcium carbonate a fundamental ingredient for the making of concrete, as in the case of OGR’s pavement.
