Artissima celebrates its 25th anniversary
ARTISSIMA 2018
25th EDITION
1 November: press, preview, opening 2-3-4 November: open to the public
In 2018 #artissima celebrates its 25th anniversary. Directed by Ilaria Bonacossa for the second year in a row, the #fair opens on Thursday 1 November, and welcomes over 50,000 visitors from Friday 2 to Sunday 4 November at the OVAL in #torino.
Internationally renowned for its focus on experimental practices, and as a launching pad for up-and-coming artists and galleries, #artissima is a unique #event that attracts a large audience of collectors, sector professionals and art lovers every year. As the only #fair in Italy to concentrate exclusively on #contemporaryart, it is the preferred #event of curators, directors of art institutions and foundations, as well as the patrons of museums from all over the world who are involved in various ways in the projects of #artissima.
The fil rouge of the 25th edition will be “time” (Time is on our side), seen not as a static freeze-frame of memory and celebration, but as a dynamic flow capable of setting the pace of change, while capturing the emotional suspension time activated by works of art.
The “time” of #artissima thus takes on a dual value: that of an eloquent past, and that of a future open to creative explorations. The #fair begins, in fact, from its own history and identity – a consistent path of constant renewal and experimentation, but always capable of conserving its own recognizable character – in order to take part in the construction of the future history of art.
The vitality of #artissima and its innovative force resonate throughout the city, thanks to the active cooperation of many public institutions, museums, foundations and galleries, in a context of interaction with cultural projects across the Region.
Artissima also has a significant economic impact on the city, generating an influx equal to 3.7 million euros each year, above and beyond its budget of expenditure.
The #fair thus confirms its dynamic role, contributing to the growth of the Italian art market, stimulating and supporting collectors with an eye on innovation in a continuously evolving critical and curatorial vision.
The #fair is managed by #artissima srl, a company affiliated with Fondazione #torino Musei.
In the words of Ilaria Bonacossa
In 2018 #artissima celebrates an important anniversary: 25 years of a #fair that has gained a reputation for its focus on experimentation and the pursuit of new approaches, for the coexistence of multiple and often contrasting approaches, for the critical vision of gallerists who are writing the future history of art, and for the courage of the curators ready to wager on talent and not on the marketable appeal of artists.
I love #artissima because every year it provides a global overview of the contemporary scene, welcoming art lovers into an unexpected space/time, suspended outside the everyday dimension, in which works of art can transform our perspective on the world.
Time is on our side, on the side of those who want to discover and intensely experience the world of art, savouring and reflecting, opening to otherness and change.
Our time is the time devoted by galleries to the discovery and rediscovery of artists, to the production of their works and to support their creative research.
The time of images capable of activating thoughts and emotions rather than being passively consumed.
The time of listening in the new Sound section, a surprising journey through 16 sound installations.
The accelerated time of exploration of opportunities offered by the digital dimension.
The time of drawing that is simultaneously a work in progress and a finished project, classic medium transformed by contemporary interpretation and innovative ways of thinking.
The creative time of #artissima Junior in which young visitors to the #fair, together with an artist, will produce a large environmental installation.
The time of coexistence and aural and visual co-design of our “Experimental Academy” to transform the #fair into a space for creation, and for the training of young artists.
The time of sharing and the experience of an artist’s dinner, to sample new convivial approaches.
The time for commemoration of great artists.
The time of #torino, a city suspended between past and future, between Egyptian treasures and contemporary installations, regal glories and working-class memories, engineered rationalism and esoteric magic.
