From 29 October 2026 to 4 April 2027, Castello di Rivoli Museo d’Arte Contemporanea, Fondazione Merz, and GAM – Civic Gallery of Modern and Contemporary Art in Turin present Marisa Merz – La danza delle ore, an exhibition in three acts under the patronage of the Ministry of Culture and made possible thanks to the support of Fondazione CRT. On the centenary of the artist’s birth in 1926, the three institutions retrace her work and legacy through a shared project that interweaves complementary curatorial perspectives and brings together historical works and previously unseen pieces.
At the heart of the exhibition is an artistic practice in which art and life belong to the same movement: everyday time becomes a time of creation and a space for experimentation, while matter remains an ever-open possibility for transformation. Marisa Merz’s works emerge from gestures, intuitions, and returns; they are revisited, juxtaposed, and modified, keeping alive the possibility of taking on new forms and meanings. La danza delle ore conveys this ongoing metamorphosis, offering a reading of the artist’s work in its breadth and in its capacity to continue generating images and thought today.
