The Philadelphia Museum of Art has joined with the Turin, Italy-based Fondazione Sandretto Re Rebaudengo to commission and acquire new video, film, and performance pieces from artists from around the world, museum and foundation officials announced Thursday.
Every two years, the Future Fields Commission in Time-Based Media—as the joint initiative has been dubbed—will support the creation and production of work to be acquired and presented by both the Art Museum and the foundation, which is widely seen as one of the most dynamic forces in the contemporary Italian art world.
The first commission will go New York-based video sensation Rachel Rose, 30, currently generating considerable buzz at the Venice Biennale, and winner of the 2015 London Frieze Artist Award for emerging artists.
