Once permitted to reopen after lockdown, the Turin museum’s first and second floors will continue with the public exhibition programme featuring Anne Imhof’s “Sex” and a group expressionist exhibition, whilst the third floor is reserved for vaccination. Art will still be an element of the third floor, however, as Swiss artist Claudia Comte is making an audio work for those queuing to receive their vaccine, alongside the installation of her murals.
“Art has always helped, healed and cured—indeed some of the first museums in the world were hospitals,” Christov-Bakargiev, museum director, said in a statement. “Our buildings can continue to serve this purpose and fulfil our mission: arte cura—art helps.”
