an interdisciplinary approach where architecture and design interact with visual arts and technologies.
The SYDERE_ARTS Lab places contemporary experimentation and innovation at the heart of it’s actions through an interdisciplinary approach where architecture and design interact with visual arts and technologies.
The Politecnico, cultural companies, Regions and the Regional agencies in charge, will be able to lean on the Lab in SYDERE_ARTS to find solutions for case studies on the valorisation of territories or to design paths between territories, or to design the valorisation of a relevant collection, and these solutions will allow the Regions and Regional Agencies to precipitate the PNRR financial resources on the territories of reference.
The laboratory collaborates with Fondazione FCRTArte. Additionally, the Department of Architecture and Design at the Politecnico di Torino had offered an English-language Master’s program called Design for Arts, which was aimed at students from diverse academic backgrounds. This program equiped them with multidisciplinary skills relevant to cultural institutions, innovation, and the non-profit sector. In 2020, due to the Covid-19 pandemic, the Master’s program was transformed into Sydere Arts, a research center.
For the academic year 2022-2023, Sydere Arts, led by Professor Pierpaolo Peruccio and curator Gail Cochrane, is working on a project titled “I Maestri della fotografia italiana” (The Masters of Italian Photography) in collaboration with Fondazione CRT. This project seeks to enhance the foundation’s photographic collection by exploring thematic and international comparisons through a curatorial approach. The project places a special focus on the collection of the Fondazione per l’Arte Moderna e Contemporanea CRT, with particular emphasis on the promotion of the post-war Italian photography segment within the collection.
