This is the third in a series of Panorama exhibitions organized by ITALICS, a consortium of art galleries active in Italy cofounded by Lorenzo Fiaschi and Pepi Marchetti Franchi that work together, both on- and offline, to highlight Italy’s extraordinary cultural and artistic heritage.

Announcements

Tatiana Trouvé
Årets Skulptør 2024
Tatiana Trouvé has been named 2024’s Sculptor of the Year by Kistefos in Jevnaker, Norway. Every year, the chosen artist is invited to create a site-specific work to be permanently installed in the museum’s sculpture park. Trouvé’s two Kistefos sculptures are part of her Guardian series (2013–), which symbolize fictional characters who guard different places and life forms. The artist created the works in response to the former wood pulp mill in which they will be installed—keeping not only the landscape and local animal life in mind, but also the building’s industrial history and the people who have shaped it into the institution it is today. The work will be unveiled on May 4, in conjunction with the opening of the 2024 season, and is the fifty-third commission in the collection.

Centre Pompidou, Paris

On this reconfigured surface she presents a group of drawings, some previously unseen and some made expressly for the exhibition, whose title translates to The Great Atlas of Disorientation. A selection of sculptures and constructed elements complete this fantastical landscape where reality engages in infinite exchanges with its doubles.

Bureau d’Activités Implicites
October 5, 2021–January 9, 2022
Musée d’art moderne et contemporain, Geneva
www.mamco.ch
At the start of Tatiana Trouvé’s artistic career, after amassing a large number of cover letters, unsuccessful grant applications, and other written material, she began to incorporate these rejections and ephemera from unrealized projects into sculptures, or “modules,” as she calls them. She later brought together the various modules—whose common thread is the notion of time and memory—as the Bureau d’Activités Implicites (1997–), which translates to Bureau of Implicit Activities. On display in this exhibition are two modules containing fragments of letters written but unsent, unfinished projects, and copies of her own drawings that Trouvé painstakingly made.
