The most intriguing event of the season will open in Turin on November 9th: Artissima, a unique chance to meet the people that count in the contemporary art world: artists, collectors, museum directors, curators, art critics but also an extraordinary opportunity to discover the latest art trends, to discover new galleries and young artists, and, why not, to buy today the big names of tomorrow.
172 galleries: a sparkling showcase featuring an exclusive mix of established galleries and world famous artists with the new generations of galleries and artists, aimed at research and experimentation, that are beginning to approach the market.
Present Future: two young and successful international curators have selected the works of 14 emerging artists for the section reserved for talents to be discovered. The winner of the illy Prize will be chosen during the Fair amidst the exhibited projects.
New Entries: the section dedicated to young galleries established after 2001 and appearing at Artissima for the first time will include 20 of the most avant-garde representatives of international contemporary art.
Constellations: a theatrical exhibition within the context of Artissima will host 9 exceptional artistic projects in the section dedicated to large-scale works, with museum-related ambitions, selected by a prestigious committee.
Conversations: For 2006 Artissima Scientific Committee has involved artists such as Jeremy Deller, Francesco Vezzoli and Eric Van Lieshout, witnesses of the most recent tragedies of war like Gilles Saussier, Steve Mumford and Martha Rosler, bloggers and journalists such as Tyler Green, Barry Schwabsky, Walter Robinson and Alessandra Mammì, and museum directors and curators like Adam D. Weinberg, Charles Esche, Ida Gianelli, Ralph Rugoff, Yuko Hasegawa, Marcella Beccaria, Pier Giovanni Castagnoli, Massimiliano Gioni and Mark Tribe, in stimulating and intriguing themes such Collecting the uncollectible, Art in the time of war, Re-inventing permanent collections , Fame and infamy, together with experts from the new frontiers of Chinese art (and the Chinese art world) like Huang Zhuan, Lu Jie and Ruth Noack.
Collectors: This edition will also feature the special programme that will bring more than 200 of the most well-known international collectors to Turin as guests of Artissima, for a preview visit of the Fair, to meet galleries and enjoy the numerous proposals dedicated by the city to contemporary art.
Acquisitions: The public and artistic institutions in the area (Regione Piemonte, Fondazione CRT, Castello di Rivoli, Fondazione Torino Musei/GAM) which bought works at the 2005 Fair for a value exceeding 1,200,000 euros, have confirmed their decision to set aside consistent funding to purchase works at Artissima 13. The members of the prestigious Scientific Committee of Fondazione CRT, responsible for the selection Sir Nicholas Serota, Rudi Fuchs, David A. Ross, Ida Gianelli and Pier Giovanni Castagnoli will be present at Artissima to choose the works they intend to purchase.
Turin: Artissima will also provide an opportunity for full immersion in the Italian recognised capital of contemporary art. During the Fair the city will be proposing a series of events not to be missed: international exhibitions and openings in museums, foundations, art institutions, Luci dArtista, light installations created by renowned artists in the city streets, and the special nocturnal opening of galleries and other exhibition spaces for Saturday Night Art Fever on Saturday the 11th of November, from 9.30 pm until midnight.
