The Fondazione Spinola Banna has special intrinsic characteristics that certainly make any residence there unique.
The partial isolation of the location in the Turin hinterland enables anyone who takes part in the workshops to temporarily redefine their own daily working conditions. Here they can create a specific action space shaped by completely different practical limits and particularly stimulating surroundings. Gail’s professional skills and her constant presence, together with the rest of the staff, ensured that any problems arising could be tackled and solved easily while dedicating undivided attention to each project. On his part, Jorge Peris concentrated his attention on the specific nature of these workshops, forcing the creative process in everyone to push up against a temporary “crisis” and a feeling of losing their own moorings, a condition dictated by such a beautiful but also difficult location. It was an intense and useful experience, that demands your willingness to take the plunge and a high level of concentration to bear the best fruit.
