Arturo Herrera: Track
Officina Grandi Riparazioni, Turin
1 October, 2017 - 1 January, 2020
Track is a site-specific monumental mural by Arturo Herrera, for the entrance hall of OGR Torino’s North Workshops. The Officine Grandi Riparazioni (OGR) Torino is a majestic 19th century industrial complex in Torino, Italy that will now be a center for art, music, food, and cultural programming. The mural's intricate pattern references the building's use as the site of repair for railroad engines - a series of paths that meet spanning in various directions, suggesting also a twisting of branches and trees that stretch upwards. The artwork puts forth the idea of intense movement, suggesting some of the cardinal values of the OGR: interconnection, fluidity and energy.
