Cripta747 is glad to present Lift-on/lift-off.
The project takes shape around the Variante 200, core of an ambitious project of urban redevelopment addressed to change the aspect of the north-eastern district of Turin, redrawing the urban pattern both from aesthetic, historical, cultural, social and economical point of view.
The Association Variante Bunker and CRIPTA747 – based in the disctrict of Via Quittengo 41/b next to the ex Vanchiglia railway yard - move up a significant action of the urban element, the road axis around the upcoming via Regaldi.
The existing parts will be used to think, call into question and experiment the new route, the business settlement and the establishment of a fictitious but hoped social and immaterial fabric that will become also attractive pole for tomorrow destinations. Lift-on/lift-off aims to reshape the perimeter of the existing building and trace a new urban front.
The project takes consistency in some containers set up along the future grand boulevard of via Regaldi converting the cargo units in spaces for the artistic production, making evident the immediacy of the contemporary urbanization.
The containers challenge the traditional concepts of white cube and studio encouraging artists to work in the intersection between urban planning, sociology and economics. The colony of these temporary exhibition spaces technically forms a new block, an extension of the surrounding neighbourhood. It invites artists to rethink at their practice from an original perspective and helps the community to face the change taking place in the contemporary city.

Cripta747 è lieta di presentare
Lift-on/lift-off.
Il titolo fa riferimento al sistema verticale di carico e scarico usato da alcune navi mercantili dotate di gru a bordo. Il progetto si concretizza intorno alla Variante 200, spina dorsale di un piano ambizioso di trasformazione urbana destinato a cambiare il volto del quadrante nord-orientale della città di Torino, ridisegnando il tessuto urbano sia da un punto di vista architettonico che sociale.
L’Associazione Variante Bunker e CRIPTA747 - che ha scelto il distretto di via Quittengo 41/b a ridosso dell’ex Scalo Vanchiglia come nuova sede espositiva - anticiperanno con un gesto significativo il nuovo asse viario della futura via Regaldi. L’esistente sarà utilizzato per ragionare, sperimentare, delineare in modo inconsueto e creativo la nuova viabilità, nonché l’insediamento di attività e la creazione di un fittizio, ma auspicabile intreccio sociale e immateriale che diventi anche polo attrattivo per le destinazioni future.
Lift-on/lift-off intende ridisegnare i bordi del costruito e tracciare un nuovo fronte urbano.
Il progetto prende forma in alcuni containers installati lungo l’asse del futuro grande Boulevard di via Regaldi, rendendo le unità di carico nuovi ambienti per la produzione artistica, evidenziando al visitatore l’immediatezza dell’urbanizzazione contemporanea.
I containers sfidano l’idea tradizionale di luogo espositivo e di studio e invitano gli artisti a lavorare nell’intersezione tra urbanistica, sociologia urbana, tecnologia ed economia. L’insediamento di questi spazi espositivi transitori costituisce di fatto un nuovo rione, un’estensione del quartiere circostante che incoraggia gli artisti a ripensare la loro pratica da un inedito punto di vista, e la comunità ad affrontare le sfide imposte dalle trasformazioni che investono le città contemporanee.
