The GAM of Torino is pleased to present the first major Italian exhibition dedicated to the American artist Mary Heilmann, born in San Francisco in 1940. The exhibition, curated by Chiara Bertola, director of GAM, was realised in collaboration with the artist and Studio Heilmann of New York. Mary Heilmann is one of the most important contemporary abstract painters. The exhibition traces the sixty years of her career, from her early geometric paintings of the 1970s to her recent shaped canvases in fluorescent colours. The sixty works in the exhibition illustrate her joyful output and offer a broad look at her playful approach to abstraction, touching on fundamental passages and thematic cores of her oeuvre.
Born in California, Heilmann studied poetry, ceramics, and sculpture before moving to New York in 1968, where, after arriving as a sculptor, she turned to painting in response to the predominance of sculptors among her contemporaries. This exhibition explores Heilmann’s formal approach to painting and abstraction, highlighting the autobiographical themes that run through her work. Her practice overlaps the analytical geometries of minimalism with the spontaneous ethos of the Beat Generation. She is distinguished by her often unorthodox and always explosive approach to colour and form. Her art is influenced by the counterculture of the 1970s, the free speech movement and the surfing spirit of her native California, and even anticipated the Beat culture and the subsequent protest movements against the system.

Breathtaking! A MUST see in Turin!

Built in the 16th century and later modernized by Christine Marie of France in the 17th century, with designs by the Baroque architect Filippo Juvarra. The palace also includes the Palazzo Chiablese and the Chapel of the Holy Shroud. 

Tip: Allow a good 2 hours to see the beauty of this palace and the museum. You won&rsquo;t be disappointed!

Egyptian Museum

When you go to Turin, you must first go to the Piazza Castello on Via Garibaldi. There is a tourist center on the left side of the building facing the Royal Palace of Turin. You can buy a museum + bus card here. This card is very cost-effective. You can enter almost all museums in Turin (including the Egyptian Museum) for free, and take the bus and subway unlimited times.
​I suffered a loss when I first arrived. Yesterday, I bought a bus card at a tobacco shop (small convenience store) on the street. Before coming, I was afraid that it would be difficult to buy tickets for the Egyptian Museum on site, so I bought tickets for the Egyptian Museum online in advance for 18 euros. Yesterday, I spent 10 euros to visit three museums, and the net loss was at least 30 euros.
​But I am also open-minded. It is normal to spend money in a strange place. The purpose of travel is to be happy.

The film museum was unexpectedly interesting! I originally thought it was just an introduction to the development of film history, but I found that in addition to film history, it also introduced optics, light refraction, image presentation, the evolution of film production, etc. It also includes movie scenes, which makes people feel like they are in it, which is an interesting experience.

Juventus Stadium

The Juventus Stadium in Turin, Italy is very big. It happened to be at night, the lights and sound were shocking, there were many locals, shouting one after another, and the surrounding environment was good. I went there but didn&#39;t go in. The ticket was 100 euros. My colleague went inside. I was pulling two suitcases. Fortunately, there were food, drinks and entertainment around. I put the suitcases in the supermarket and bought a few things symbolically. It was a warehouse-style supermarket. There were a wide variety of things. I was stunned. They were all branded things. We had limited luggage and couldn&#39;t carry them. I went to another supermarket to buy various sports products. Wow, there were so many things! The lively crowd outside the stadium was shouting.
