Il futuro nelle mani. Artisans Tomorrow Drawing inspiration from the International Exposition of Industries and Work which Turin organised in 1911 and 1961 for the 50th and 100th Anniversary of Italy鈥檚 Unification, this exhibition-workshop outlines the positive prospects for new 鈥渕etropolitan artisan鈥� work. The exhibition is divided into three areas: Ghost Train Tunnel, which emphasises that particular form of craftsmanship currently represented by 鈥渄igital work鈥�; The New Workshops, installed in the former OGR for demonstrating laboratories, projects and products by renowned architects, artists and artisans, and then particularly the work by young creative people and many Italian emigrants that have taken Italian talent around the world involving mechanics, engines, and special effects, traditional items and musical experimentation; and The Showrooms Gallery, an 鈥渁rts & crafts supermarket鈥� occupied in rotation by Italian 鈥渆xcellence鈥� of craftsmanship, demonstrating the material culture and the project of various territories. The visitor can also buy articles of Italian 鈥済enius鈥� in the art of ceramics, textiles, glass, etc. and objects of self-produced design. In the end discovering that, with the new Craftspeople, it may be possible to try and renew an 鈥淚talian supremacy鈥� in the 21st century in this sector.
