Promoted by Fondazione Zegna, ALL'APERTO (OUTDOORS) is a project
established with the aim of broadening access to contemporary art and its
values, the project supports the realization of a series of site-specific
permanent artworks, created in the Trivero area, aimed at the local community
and all visitors.
Daniel Buren
"The Coloured Weathervanes, work in situ, 2007, Trivero" frames the perimeter of the panoramic terraces of the Lanificio Zegna (wool mill) with a rainbow of 126 flags, fluctuating between green and blue in a recurring scheme of seven Pantone shades. By an optical effect, they seem to merge into a single colour that varies according to the light.
Alberto Garutti
In 2009, in order to map out the territory of Trivero, Alberto Garutti seeked the collaboration of the teachers and of the local primary school fifth grade students. The result is a public work that can be used (and 'adopted') by everyone: a series of cement benches with a seated portrait of one or more dogs, bearing the following caption: "The dog portrayed here belongs to a Trivero family. This work is dedicated to them and the people who will talk about it as they sit here".
Stefano Arienti
In 2011, Stefano Arienti introduced "The Telepathists", a "sculpture to be used", as the artist defines it, composed of a free Wi-Fi network and of several groups of archaic “thinking heads” in stone which mark the presence of the hotspots.
Roman Signer
In September 2012, Roman Signer inaugurated with a crowded pyrotechnical action his "Horloge", a surprising “time-sculpture” that beats time without any hour hand.
Marcello Maloberti
A great collective performance marked also the opening of Marcello Maloberti’s "Kisses Sweeter Than Wine" (2013), a new ‘garden of delights’ for the community, located on the terraces of Centro Zegna.
Dan Graham
In 2014, Dan Graham unveiled "Two Way Mirror / Hedge Arabesque", a spectacular pavilion in steel and two-way mirror glass (both transparent and reflective), located in Rhododendron Bowl in Oasi Zegna, inviting the public to activate new views on the landscape.
Liliana Moro
Liliana Moro is the protagonist of the 2015 edition. Her project, titled "29,88 SQ KM", includes two parts: a new “infopoint” at the entrance of Trivero and a special interactive map, installed in the Tourist Office, where the artist’s voice helps the public to discover all the installations of ALL’APERTO.
