Artissima is pleased to announce that Andrea Bellini has been appointed as new director of the Fair.
Andrea Bellini (1971) is an art critic and independent curator; since 2004 he has been the U.S. editor of Flash Art International. As a critic, he has worked with the most important contemporary artists, focusing mainly on the most recent generations. He is co-curator of the forthcoming Prague Biennial, and the curator of Gino De Dominicis upcoming solo show that will open at Villa Arson Museum (Nice, France) in June 2007.
The professional experience and art-world relationships of our new director will give Artissima the opportunity to increase its international profile and strengthen its role as a fair that is dedicated to emerging galleries and artists.
The next edition of Artissima will take place from November 9th to 11th, 2007, at Lingotto Fiere, Turin.
It is Andrea Bellini’s intention that this fair offers a very unique survey of the work of young artists worldwide, favouring the participation of new and challenging international names. The show will also include a diverse programme of events and special initiatives both in the fair itself and around the city.
