Artissima 2018

On its 25th edition, Artissima presents a programme with 195 participant galleries from 35 countries. Among the sections at the fair – Main Section, New Entries, Dialogue and Art Spaces & Editions – Artissima has four curated sections, some of them are consistent with the last year presentation such as Present Future, Back to the Future, Disegni (Drawing), however, Sound is the new development on the 25th anniversary of the fair. Ilaria Bonacossa picks ‘Time’ as a theme to be questioned and analyzed as we take the time and space to explore the works at Oval Lingotto Fiere. In the words of Ilaria Bonacossa:

‘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 15 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.

Being present at this event our team took the time to experience and discover new artists, works, which we had never seen before by established artists, also new materialities and interpretations on drawing and sound. Essentially we had the time to talk to incredible curators and gallerists, whose true passion for the world of art allowed them to share their time and knowledge about their artists and choices.
