Pavilion A
Pavilion A is the space dedicated to welcoming local protagonists.
On the one hand, the Stanze Viventi/Living Rooms project, which reactivates rooms through site-specific works, rooms that, once completed, are lived in by the associations.
On the other the artists studios, the possibility for artists living in the metropolitan area to have a studio in an art centre.
Finally, residencies for artists dedicated to specific projects with hospitality in the centre's guest quarters.

Stanze Viventi / Living Rooms
The project was born with the intention of reactivating the rooms of Pavilion A of the former IPI (a city orphanage until the 1980s) abandoned since 2013 and to do so through art. The rooms created by the artists (part I) are lived, once finished, by others: associations, artists, musicians (part II ). The fundamental point is living, life in its many facets, the past life of places, the present in the relationship of the artist with the other from himself, the future with the relationship of the work with the lives of others.
The work that falls within a merely “expositive” logic accepts that the public remains such, with Stanze Viventi the elements of the project are strictly conjugated with the dimension of life. Living the rooms as a place, not as a simple architectural space: this is what distinguishes places from non-places, spaces of crossing without connotation that we all feel as strangers.
Artists' studios
Flashback Habitat was born as an ecosystem for sharing meaning, ideas, stories and life. For this reason we chose to share with others the place that was entrusted to us, giving a chance to artists living in Turin and looking for a studio.
Artist Residencies
The residency project includes the possibility of hosting artists in the centre's guesthouse, also giving them a studio for the creation of a specific project dedicated to the place.
