Officine Grandi Riparazioni of Turin. The pros and cons

Gianluigi Ricuperati says his about the OGR in Turin, recently inaugurated with the imposing "Big Bang." Despite the goodness of the initiative, courageous on a number of fronts, effort is not enough. And the things to see are many.

The OGR dream was a succession of real emotional and intellectual Big Bangs. . . .

The OGR dream did not have a single director, but a "general invention committee" with Brian Eno, John Brockman, Alice Rawsthorn, Alex Poots, Patricia Urquiola, HitoSteyerl: "high" representatives of the only vocation they should have a city like Turin, to experience without stopping.
