Gregory Crewdson. Eveningside is opening today at Gallerie d’Italia - Turin: from October 12, 2022 to January 22, 2023, the museum will dedicate most of its 10,000 square meters of gallery spaces to the works of the internationally renowned American photographer Gregory Crewdson. The centerpiece of the exhibition, curated by Jean-Charles Vergne, is the world premiere of the series titled Eveningside (2021-2022), whose photographs, partly commissioned by Intesa Sanpaolo, were conceived by the artist as the final act of a trilogy spanning ten years of work and including the series Cathedral of the Pines (2012-2014) and An Eclipse of Moths (2018-2019).
Each series of the trilogy represents essential stages in Crewdson’s artistic journey and creative evolution over the past decade, with themes ranging from the intimate and personal, to existential and expansive visions of the world, to reflections on deep respect and admiration for the history of photography, painting, film and other mediums, all reinvented to tell his own stories.
Also on view is the series Fireflies (1996), whose images offer in their simplicity a connective tissue and counterpoint to the other projects.
Kicking off the series of events that will accompany the exhibition over the next months, there will be a talk today with Gregory Crewdson and Jean Charles Vergne, moderated by Alessia Glaviano, Head of Global PhotoVogue and Director of PhotoVogue Festival.
