Fuoripista. Arte, sport e inverno

as a side event of the Milano Cortina 2026 Winter Olympics and Paralympics, gres art 671 presents ‘Fuoripista’, in bergamo.

the exhibition, sponsored by Fondazione Pesenti and Italmobiliare, addresses winter sports in the setting of the Milano Cortina 2026 Cultural Olympics.

spanning art, design, architecture and research, contemporary works – some commissioned for the first time by gres art for this project – are displayed alongside paintings, installations, photographs, videos, historical works and archival resources.

the project, curated by 2050+ in partnership with gres art 671, celebrates art and sports together, at different altitudes and from different perspectives. artists recount peaks, snow, perseverance, effort, victories, defeats, geography and much more.

the mountains are presented as a place for passion, exploration and discovery, but also as an opportunity for technological, social and environmental research.

the exhibition’s scenography, designed by 2050+, features a series of prefabricated concrete brick walls (the legacy of a previous exhibition, reinterpreted through principles of sustainability and circularity) together with elements drawn from the material culture of mountaineering, such as ropes, carabiners and hooks. it evokes the close connection between body, technique and imagination, which links human beings and the mountain landscape.

the spacious exhibition area at gres art 671 features the Viabizzuno ariacablata system. with its 500 metres of binari A1, A10 and A11, it offers remarkable lighting flexibility. easy to install and position, the n55 spotlights provide accent lighting for individual works of art, leaving the rest of the space shrouded in evocative semi-darkness. the linear light, switched on only when needed, defines the exhibition’s aesthetic continuity. trentotto sagomatore – the Viabizzuno optic designed for works of art on display, with body measuring just 38 millimetres – frames objects in a glow of light, enhancing their traits with extreme precision, uniformity and correct intensity, ensuring maximum light quality and a very low damage factor.
