William Kentridge - Procession of Reparationists, 2017
The Corte Est – OGR Torino’s Open-air museum – is home to “Procession of Reparationists”, a public and site-specific work by globally-renowned artist William Kentridge.
Permanent public art
Alongside OGR Torino’s many temporary exhibitions and events, visitors can always enjoy the permanent works of art that we showcase, free of charge, during opening hours.
Our collection, destined to grow over time as we commission further site-specific works, has invited some of the leading figures in contemporary art to interact with OGR Torino’s space, history and future.
Today, the permanent works at OGR Torino are the sculptural installation Procession of Reparationists by William Kentridge (2017), which welcomes visitors in the Corte Est (East Courtyard), and Track by Arturo Herrera (2017), a large mural painted near the entrance to OGR Cult.

The commission was identified by Castello di Rivoli - Museo d’Arte Contemporanea and funded entirely by Fondazione CRT per l’Arte Moderna e Contemporanea. The sculpture was curated and produced by Castello di Rivoli.
The artist was inspired by OGR Torino’s former industrial vocation and workers. He thus created a sculpture in black metal, composed of a symbolic procession of figures, which alludes to the repair of both trains and human bodies.
Arturo Herrera - Track, 2017
“Track” is the site-specific work Arturo Herrera created for the entrance of OGR Cult. Painted entirely in a single color, a clear and vibrant blue, “Track” welcomes visitors and invites them to explore OGR Torino’s cultural program.
The mural combines lines of various sizes and thicknesses creating an intricate lattice, reminiscent of railway tracks or paths that meet in various directions, also suggesting trees and branches that intertwine as they teach upwards.
Through its network of lines, the painting conveys the idea of intense movement, representing some of OGR Torino’s key values: interconnection, fluidity and energy.
Visiting information
The permanent artworks can be visited freely, from Monday to Friday from 8 AM to midnight, and on Saturdays and Sundays from 9 AM to midnight.
