Fondazione Sandretto Re Rebaudengo

The Fondazione Sandretto Re Rebaudengo is a non-profit contemporary arts institution based in Turin, Italy, founded by arts collector Patrizia Sandretto Re Rebaudengo in 1995.[1]

Locations

The foundation began with two main exhibition spaces located in Piedmont, Italy: one in the Borgo San Paolo district in the urban center of Turin, and the other at the Palazzo Re Rebaudengo in Guarene d'Alba. The former building was previously a Fergat automobile factory before being converted into a contemporary arts space[2] by architect Claudio Silvestrin, which opened to the public in 2002. The design of the building won a gold medal for Italian Architecture at the Milan Triennial in 2003.[3]

In addition to exhibitions, the Fondazione Sandretto Re Rebaudengo also strives to support the contemporary scene through several programs, such as their Young Curators' Residency Program (YCRP), which annually selects three recent graduates of international curatorial programs to research Italian contemporary art, and CAMPO (established in 2012), a curatorial course for students based in Italy.[4]
