For the second Turin Triennale (6 November 2008–1 February 2009) titled ’50 Lune di Saturno’ (50 Moons of Saturn), exhibition curated by David Birnbaum, Anna Galtarossa created an “Aconcagua” or a “Punk Mountain”. A car-sized mountain, decked out in punk gear, which moves around the exhibition space by using sensors to detect walls, people and objects and every 5 minutes or so, the top of the mountain opens up and screams! The work is exhibited at Museo di Castelvecchio, Verona but you can take a look at a short video of it here: http://www.youtube.com/user/diplotaxis.
Another project of Anna’s is “Il Mostro di Castelvecchio” (The Monster of Castelvecchio) which makes a nightly walk through the city (Verona, Italy). The Museo di Castelvechio recently started exhibiting contemporary art which led the artist to envision this monster as a welcome or an introduction to the “not-so-scary” world of contemporary art. The monster’s hydraulic legs are moved by two people (stationed inside each leg) and led by guides with museum badges. The project was curated by Maria Rosa Sossai, Gabi Scardi and Camilla Berton and you can get a glimpse of it right here:
