Ouverture 2024 is an homage to the inaugural project of Castello di Rivoli, presented in the context of the museum’s 40th anniversary. As part of the celebrations, the monumental installation Shade Between Rings of Air, 2003, by Gabriel Orozco is also on view.

The title Ouverture intentionally references the one used for the inaugural exhibition at Castello di Rivoli, curated by Rudi Fuchs and opened to the public on 19 December 1984. The exhibition was conceived as a survey of contemporary art, a proposal for a future collection, and at the same time, a model for an ideal museum. The works on display, resulting from loans or commissions, highlighted the value of the individual artistic research of the artists. The new version reactivates the same principles, but with the collection that the institution has since built. Ouverture 2024 primarily focuses on works from the collection produced since the 2000s. The exhibition project conceived for the occasion unfolds through the two grand floors of Castello di Rivoli and traces numerous urgencies that characterise contemporary life. Participating artists include Nairy Baghramian, Allora & Guillermo Calzadilla, Anri Sala and Adrián Villar Rojas.
