Sanlorenzo, a leader in Italian yachting, announces its sponsorship of the exhibition Mutual Aid - Art in Collaboration with Nature, held at the Castello di Rivoli Museum of Contemporary Art in Turin. Open to the public from Thursday, October 31, 2024, through Sunday, March 23, 2025, the exhibition explores the creative collaboration between human beings and the non-human world through a selection of artists who have addressed the interdependence between humans and nature from the 1960s to the present. Through this sponsorship, Sanlorenzo strengthens its commitment to art and awareness of themes surrounding nature and sustainability.
Curated by Francesco Manacorda and Marianna Vecellio, this project focuses on sustainability and our impact on the natural world, tracing a path through the different stages of artistic reflection on ecology, culminating in the current climate crisis and theoretical developments that question human centrality in the natural system. At the heart of this exhibition is the true sharing of the creative process between artists and natural elements (animals, plants, and inorganic matter), as interpreted through the works of various artists.
Mutual Aid - Art in Collaboration with Nature invites viewers to reconsider the legitimacy of the divide between nature and culture, reinterpreting them as collaborative elements called upon to support and nurture each other. The exhibition offers an ecosystemic perspective and an innovative approach to significant environmental issues, founded on coexistence, sharing, and the value of multi-species creativity and collective project-making.
In this context, Sanlorenzo’s path towards sustainability is confirmed as global, with a holistic approach that also takes shape through art. This journey will culminate in the upcoming opening of Sanlorenzo Arts Venice, scheduled for 2025. This new space will represent a platform where art, design, and innovation will engage with the sustainable values that inspire Sanlorenzo’s entire vision.
The sponsorship of the exhibition at Castello di Rivoli anticipates and strengthens this path, establishing Sanlorenzo as a leader in cultural dialogue that intertwines art, nature and sustainability, exploring new routes in both the yachting and artistic worlds.
