For twenty-five years now, as the days grow shorter and it gets darker faster, the city is transformed into an open-air museum with works made with light. The Luci d’Artista are born as never-before-seen objects to
celebrate the holiday season and quickly become the subject of an ambitious goal: to create a public collection of contemporary art, the expression of “high culture that can dialogue with everyone,” stated Fiorenzo Alfieri, who was this event’s visionary creator. This twenty-fifth edition is dedicated to him, and the City of Turin with the Fondazione Torino Musei have commissioned three new works, thanks to the help of precious partners and the generosity of artists. The choice to turn on the Light of culture in these difficult times comes from the desire to celebrate a tradition that unites citizens in the name of art, as a shared value. That is why this year new initiatives aimed at schools, families, and local communities have been activated to favor access to this collective heritage, engaging all museums and art centers devoted to contemporaneity.

PUBLIC PROGRAM AND ENLIGHTENED ENCOUNTERS WITH CONTEMPORARY ART.
November 2022 – April 2023
For the twenty-fifth anniversary of Luci d’Artista, the City of Turin has entrusted the Fondazione Torino Musei with promoting and enhancing its Public Program, a line-up of events and
activities that integrate and accompany the installation of light works across the city. The Education Department at Turin’s six
museums—Castello di Rivoli Museo d’Arte Contemporanea, Fondazione Merz, Fondazione Sandretto Re Rebaudengo, GAM – Galleria civica di Arte Moderna e Contemporanea, MAO Museo
d’Arte Orientale, and PAV Parco Arte Vivente — encourage opportunities of debate and learning with local schools, allowing contemporary art to interact with classic instituional training and explaining its language as a form of transversal communication to seemingly distant realities.
The Luci d’Artista and the artists who have created them become the protagonists of targeted educational itineraries aimed at
schools, teachers, and families, with a calendar of events and performances on art, conferences, guided tours, workshops (also for schools), seminars, and encounters.
Free tours are dedicated to schools and especially families that explore the outdoor collection of the Luci d’Artista, made thanks to a collaboration with City Sightseeing Torino and promoted with
ITER – Istituzione Torinese per una Educazione Responsabile of the City of Turin and with administrative districts, with the goal of favoring a sense of belonging to the city and, in particular, to this area while encouraging greater enjoyment of artistic heritage
found in a public space.

14Tetto dell’Ospedale Sant’Annaio, sono nato qui.Renato LEOTTA2022

Starting from his own personal story (Leotta was born in the Sant’Anna hospital), with this title the artist calls into play humans as particles, the beginning of existence that is renewed at each birth, joining uniqueness and universality, singularity and plurality.
The work, therefore, should be understood as a hermetic poem, a light that can be adjusted through feelings. “I,” intended philosophically as the principle of subjectivity and activities of thinking, is separated, by adding a comma, from the earthly subject of identity. “I” = “thinking.” The uniqueness of each existence is mirrored in the behavior of light, whose intensity varies in relation to the activities and states of mind of a single individual (the artist, in this case).
The work is alive and humoral, sensitive to the emotions of Renato Leotta. The intensity of the light, which can be turned on or off, depends on the feelings he chooses to share, adjusting the emission of light from a distance. Every evening, just as the moon always shines differently upon nature, Leotta gives to the statement “I, am born here” ever-new emotional nuances he shares depending on what he feels at that moment.
