On the occasion of its 2016 edition, Artissima presents Flying Home, a new and unprecedented parallel project, specially conceived for the city, realised in collaboration with Torino Airport and curated by Sarah Cosulich. For the first time, Torino Airport | Sagat is participating as a partner in an art commission, accepting Artissima’s challenge to experiment with new models, unexpected places and different audiences.
These two seemingly unrelated institutions of the city, have collaborated on a surprising cultural initiative, inviting the influential German artist Thomas Bayrle to create a site-specific work for Torino airport. For Flying Home, Bayrle has chosen the Baggage Claim area, which is transformed into an unexpected and stimulating exhibition space, deeply imbued with meaning.
Through an unprecedented sequence of images, Flying Home reveals the mechanisms of the construction of his mammoth piece Flugzeug (Aeroplane, 1984), a large- scale print of a plane made up of a million small aeroplanes on a 96- square-metre surface.
