The foundation named for Mario Merz began in 2005 as a contemporary art centre intending to present exhibitions, events and educational activities and to spearhead art research and knowledge.
The Foundation is headquartered in the former heating station of the Lancia factory, a fascinating example of 1930’s industrial architecture in Turin situated in Borgo San Paolo.
The restoration project maintained the factory’s original simplicity while evoking its function. The structure develops over an area of approximately 2,300 sqm divided into the following areas: ground floor and basement with display area with 10m high ceilings, library, offices and video room on the first floor.
