Text in Italian with English summary. Catalogue from the exhibition held February to March 2010 of works by Paola Anziche and Paolo Piscitelli. "Greater Torino is a new exhibition cycle dedicated to young generation artists who have chosen Torino for their education or workplace. The project takes the city as an enlarged territory, a place of birth or a spiritual homeland, but above all a platform, upon which to build a research effort fueled by opportunities for growth, mobility and external exchanges. Torino as an open city, therefore, a city capable of embracing the “two-way” logic that is essential in defining individual artistic careers. Greater Torino opens with the double personal exhibition devoted to Paola Anziché and Paolo Piscitelli. Despite the differences in their background – the latter experienced Torino as a starting point, whereas for the former it has for some years been the center of several experiences and projects, they both put the principle of impermanence at the core of their work, exploring the relationship between body and sculpture, spaces and objects. Characterized by a strong performative quality, their works do not possess a fixed identity. They change their status whenever they come in touch with the public (Anziché) or through metamorphoses and transposition processes (Piscitelli). The theme of memory has recently become central for both the artists: Anziché critically re-reads the modernist experience, confronting the artistic and relational practice of Lygia Clark. Piscitelli records the transformations in the American landscape, trying to identify indicators of economic and social change."
