ARTISSIMA 2015 22ND EDITION 5 November 2015: Press Preview, Preview, Opening 6, 7, 8 November 2015: Open to the public In 2015, Artissima, the International Fair of Contemporary Art, in

Torino, opens its 22nd edition to the public. Directed for the fourth time by Sarah Cosulich Canarutto, it features 207 galleries from 35 countries.

Since its establishment in 1994, Artissima has combined presence in the international market with careful attention to experimentation, research and the curatorial framework of its choices and proposals. Three of the fair’s six sections are helmed by boards composed of curators and museum directors from all over the world. The formats of these special sections – with a focus spanning performance art to the rediscovery of the avant-garde – have become standards in the international art fair scene.

Its precise identity ensures Artissima’s impact is felt beyond its venue, the Oval glass pavilion, and reverberates throughout the entire city of Torino. In the words of Le Monde, during Artissima ‘the city transforms into a giant happening’, drawing in a very high-profile public with exhibitions and special events in its museums and foundations, and the network of food and wine culture for which the city is famous.

The fair is organised by Artissima srl, a company owned by the

Fondazione Torino Musei.

WHAT’S NEW IN 2015 AT A GLANCE Opium Den, the Curated VIP Lounge, a fully fledged curatorial

project turning the VIP Lounge into an eclectic and sumptuous space; a visual essay on collecting and the border between art object and decoration. Curated by Maurizio Vetrugno.

Ypsilon St’Art Itineraries, a free programme of themed visits

through the fair, conceived in parallel with the Walkie Talkies and Zonarte workshops, to consolidate Artissima’s commitment to attracting the general public to contemporary art.

Art Advisory, UniCredit Art Advisory, a free, independent art

advisory service within the fair – the first of its kind in Italy – conceived to encourage and assist new collectors.

Inclinazioni, Artissima’s showcase for the art institutions of

Piedmont evolves into a sprawling exhibition curated by Stefano Collicelli Cagol, a selection of artworks from institutional collections over 700 sqm of fair space.

What does it mean to be a fair dedicated to experimentation and research? It means to be able to innovate and renovate, maintaining a specific identity.

With Back to the Future we were the first contemporary art fair to introduce a focus on the historical avant-garde. With the Per4m project we were the first to give a commercial stage to performance art. We were the first fair to transform talks into itinerant conversations between curators and collectors. No other fair involves this number of curators and museum directors in its committees, projects, juries and talks, ensuring great selection, quality and the possibility to discover. Starting this year, we are also the first fair to feature a VIP Lounge conceived as a curatorial project: Opium Den.

If quality is a key ingredient in Artissima’s growth, acquisitions within the fair are the recipe for continuing to improve quality. With this in mind, in 2015 we have worked on attracting ever more collectors from all over the world and in making them central to the fair’s programme. The public too has a fundamental role, and this year we are delighted to introduce new initiatives to promote the knowledge, understanding and acquisition of contemporary art.

We are indeed proud to be the fair of ‘first times’, confident in our ability to take risks, create new paths in the contemporary art scene and shape new artistic experiences.

Sarah Cosulich Canarutto, director

THE SECTIONS

Three of Artissima’s six sections are selected by a committee of

international galleries participating in the fair. The Main Section brings together the most established galleries

representative of the global art scene. This year, 133 have been selected (of which two thirds are from abroad).

New Entries is a section reserved for the most interesting young galleries on the international scene, active for less than five years and attending Artissima for the first time. The section hosts 24 galleries, of which 21 are foreign.

Art Editions, inaugurated in 2012, hosts publications, prints and multiples by contemporary artists from seven galleries.

An international jury awards the Promos Scalo Milano New

Entries Prize of €5,000 to the gallery deemed most deserving in seeking out and promoting the young artists in this section. One artist from the winning gallery will be commissioned to make a site specific installation in Scalo Milano’s exhibition space, currently under construction within the Piazze d’Artista project, which combines retail and art for the first time in Italy.

The Reda Prize is a new international award open to artists

under 35 who are exhibiting at Artissima. It is inaugurated this year with the aim of supporting a new generation of artists who work with photography. The winner is given the opportunity to realise a monograph with Humboldt Books.

The Fondazione Ettore Fico Prize is awarded to an artist

chosen from all of those participating in Artissima. Established in 2009 by Fondazione Ettore Fico to promote the work of young practitioners, it supports the creation of a publication or exhibition by the winner.

PRESENT FUTURE Present Future is the section of Artissima dedicated to emerging

talent, selected by a board of young international curators. Artists are presented by the galleries in a central area of the fair, in a specifically designed exhibition. Works by the selected artists include new proposals created ad hoc and projects displayed for the first time in a European and Italian context.

In 2015 Present Future features projects by 20 artists presented by 19 foreign galleries and one Italian gallery.

The illy Present Future Prize, supported by illycaffè since 2001, is

awarded to an artist whose work is considered the most interesting, by an international jury. Since 2012, Artissima and Castello di Rivoli Museo d’Arte Contemporanea have offered the winner the exceptional opportunity of presenting a solo exhibition at the museum. The exhibition coincides with the subsequent edition of the fair.

Thanks to illycaffè’s receptiveness and the active collaboration with Castello di Rivoli, the illy Present Future Prize gives significant support to emerging artists, and confirms the innovative role of the museum as an artistic institution of international repute.

This year the exhibition features the work Interiors of Rachel Rose, winner in 2014 of the 14th edition of the illy Present Future Prize. The exhibition, curated by Marianna Vecellio, will be on view at Castello di Rivoli from November 6th, 2015, to January 10th, 2016.

Further information is available in the enclosed press release.

Dieter Roelstraete, Documenta 14, Kassel Maurizio Morra Greco, collector, Napoli Present Future 2015 is an exploration of the global art scene, focusing

on figures who are active mainly in Europe, North America and the Middle East. Its field research saw a curatorial team seeking out innovative, complex and multiform artistic proposals over many months.

The section is not structured according to a theme or narrative, and its nature is not defined by any ideological focal points or pre-established conceptual models. Instead, its architecture is formed by the strength of the projects presented, which do not only bear witness to an uncompromising critical urgency but also raise questions and inspire reflections on the current state of geopolitics worldwide.

Luigi Fassi, coordinator of Present Future

BACK TO THE FUTURE Back to the Future is the section of Artissima dedicated to the

rediscovery of historic artworks, featuring solo exhibitions by great pioneers of contemporary art. Created with a focus on the 1960s, 70s and 80s, in 2015 for the first time it is concentrating on the decade 1975–85, a pivotal decade for the understanding of art today. The section, now in its sixth year, aims to highlight international artists who played a key role in the history of art and whose work has influenced contemporary practice. Back to the Future offers the public at large a unique opportunity to view significant works from those years in dialogue with contemporary experimentation.

In 2015, 25 artists participate in Back to the Future, presented by 28 galleries (8 Italian, 20 from abroad).

During Artissima, an international jury awards the Sardi per

l’Arte Back to the Future Prize, run in partnership with Fondazione Sardi per l’Arte and at a value of €5,000, to the gallery with the most deserving project in terms of historical relevance and booth presentation.

Committee for Back to the Future Eva Fabbris, independent curator, Milano João Fernandes, Museo Nacional Centro de Arte Reina Sofìa, Madrid Elena Filipovic, Kunsthalle Basel Beatrix Ruf, Stedelijk Museum, Amsterdam Jury for the Sardi per L’Arte Back to the Future Prize Sabine Breitwieser, Museum der Moderne Salzburg Christine Macel, Musée National d’Art Moderne, Centre Pompidou,

Paris María Inés Rodríguez, CAPC, Bordeaux Lorenzo Paini, Collezione Enea Righi, Bologna Back to the Future has reconfirmed its position as a research-driven

section this year by presenting a very clear chronological focus. The decade 1975-85 was chosen because it represents a true creative

environment in a state of transition. In Back to the Future this year, significant movements and practices of the first half of the 1970s, such as Conceptual Art and the performative body, are radicalised; painting comes both to contain and re-launch its seemingly pop heritage, blending it with the possible stimuli of a culture about to become globalised and globalising; photography’s ability to represent diverse power structures is explored, alongside its relation to the field of fashion, its reinvention of the theme of portraiture and its becoming the driving force for a new awareness of gender representation.

Back to the Future 1975–85 represents strong core themes and particular sensibilities that preluded the art to come, from a vital moment that is yet to be historicised.

Eva Fabbris, coordinator of Back to the Future

PER4M Launched by Artissima in 2014, Per4m is the first ever section on

the international art fair scene devoted exclusively to performance art. It is both an artistic and commercial showcase, in which performance art is considered as a medium alongside the others presented in the fair, taking full advantage of the framework dedicated to it.

For the 2015 programme the curatorial committee focused on emerging artists; the performances span across a wide variety of formats and ways of interacting with the public, from classical theatrical set-ups to a hidden or camouflaged presences. The programme as a whole once again proves to be a sensitive observatory of what is happening today in performance art.

The 2015 edition of Per4m hosts works by 12 artists represented by 13 galleries (four Italian, nine foreign), and presented on a dedicated stage within the fair and in shared locations throughout the Oval.

Per4m is accompanied by the Prix K-Way Per4m of €10,000,

which will be given to the most significant artwork presented in the section. The award reflects not only the importance of Per4m, but also the special attention paid to this form of experimentation by our partner K-Way.

A schedule of the performances is attached.

Committee for Per4m Simone Menegoi, independent curator, Milano Sophie Goltz, Stadtkuratorin, Hamburg Chris Sharp, independent curator, Mexico DF Jury for the Prix K-Way Per4m Marie de Brugerolle, independent curator and writer, Lyon Silvia Fanti, Xing, Bologna Milovan Farronato, Fiorucci Art Trust, London

Giorgio Fasol, collector, Verona “Now in its second year, Per4m continues to offer compelling insight

into current performance art in all its variety and complexity, starting from its relationship with time, space and the public.

Some actions gather spectators together in the space dedicated to Per4m at Artissima, while others take them by surprise, happening unannounced in the shared spaces of the fair. Short performance pieces with a beginning, a middle and an end are countered by a static ‘installation with figures’, which can be visited at any time. Some performances will invite the audience to interact, and others offer them a theatrical relationship to the event taking place before them.

In contrast to last year, less weight is given to the spoken word in favour of gesture, music and the image. Furthermore, the emphasis on emerging artists, many of whom have never exhibited in Italy before, is even stronger.”

Simone Menegoi, coordinator of Per4m

OTHER INITIATIVES WITHIN THE FAIR Opium Den, the curated Vip Lounge For the 2015 edition, Artissima has redesigned the VIP Lounge,

transforming it from a purely functional space into an art installation. Opium Den, a project conceived and curated by Maurizio Vetrugno, is a welcoming space that is eclectic and sumptuous, immersive and engaging.

The balcony overlooking the Oval becomes stage set bedecked with textiles inspired by the Orientalist style of Torino’s Villa della Regina, furniture from Sumatra and Java and collections of ceramics and enamelled metal. The floors are covered in rugs, designed by artist Scarlett Rouge, in which eclectic symbologies reference the history of Torino.

The contrast between ancient craftsmanship and the practice of appropriation art, between Piedmont Orientalism and Chinese enamelled works depicting European Arcadian scenes, brings into crisis any notion of this as a purely decorative space. Opium Den welcomes guests of the fair like an organic sculpture. It is a visual essay that probes the boundaries between artwork and object, inhabited space and installation.

Opium Den is created in collaboration with MAO Museo d’Arte Orientale di Torino and Villa della Regina.

Opium Den is open to the public every day at 5 pm, within the Ypsilon St’Art itineraries guided tour on Orientalisms.

Further information is available in the enclosed press release.

UniCredit Art Advisory

Collecting is one of the main themes of Artissima 2015. While its important contribution to Italy’s economic and cultural life is rarely acknowledged, collecting in the country often reaches international standards of excellence .

Unicredit Art Advisory is a free, independent advisory service, offered to collectors as well as to visitors who are passionate about art but who would like guidance with navigating the fair, or with the legal, tax and insurance aspects of collecting. Expert advisors are available, by appointment, in the UniCredit space at the fair.

Walkie Talkies by Lauretana One of the most successful public events at Artissima, the Walkie

Talkies feature a series of informal conversations that move freely through the spaces of the fair.

Pairs of exceptional guides accompany visitors on themed explorations of the gallery booths, discovering works, artists or specific themes. The Walkie Talkies are short dialogues: interludes that provide the opportunity to get to know and discuss the various artistic aspects covered by Artissima. This year, as part of a wider effort to frame the role of collecting as a driving force in artistic research, each conversation features a curator in discussion with a collector.

The programme is composed of 12 visits, led by 24 curators and international collectors and is attached.

Meeting Point by La Stampa A special area within the fair dedicated to the presentation of projects,

events, conversations and debates relating to the fundamental topics of contemporary art. The talks are promoted and curated by museums, institutions and art professionals and provide a unique opportunity for encountering and exchanging ideas with some of the leading figures on the contemporary art scene.

Ypsilon St’Art Itineraries Starting in 2015 Artissima offers the Ypsilon St’Art Itineraries, a

programme of guided tours through the fair’s stands and special sections, designed to offer in-depth information and new perspectives to the general public with an interest in contemporary art. Seven theme-specific tours will be offered on every day of the fair, one of which (Orientalisms) includes Opium Den, the curated VIP lounge which will otherwise be unaccessible to the public.

The guides for the Itineraries have been selected in cooperation with Accademia Albertina di Belle Arti, Torino, and the Sole 24Ore Master’s programme in Arts Management, Milano. Tours last one hour and are free of charge. They can be booked online on www.artissima.it

A schedule of itineraries is attached.

Zonarte Once again, in 2015 the Education Departments of the Zonarte

network offer visitors to Artissima a key to accessing the world of contemporary art, featuring workshops, laboratories, meetings and discussions – all of which are open to young people, families and professionals.

The workshop programme is available on www.artissima.it.

Con/TEXT Con/TEXT, a section introduced in 2012, is a large and welcoming

area of the pavilion for reading, discovering unusual art magazines and books, and discussing and sharing ideas.

Con/TEXT is home to the Artissima Bookshop, by Librerie Corraini, containing the most important magazines in the sector as well as Art Editions. It also contains the Book Corner, a space dedicated to presenting books, catalogues and special projects by institutions, galleries and publishers. The Book Corner programme involves artists, museum directors, curators, critics and collectors from all over the world.

Starting in 2015, Con/TEXT hosts the new #ArtissimaLive space, a live editorial process where six online contemporary art publications work together on content linked to the weekend of the fair. #ArtissimaLive is coordinated by Elena Bordignon, founder of ATP Diary, with the participation of Art and Signature, Artdependence, ATP Diary, Fruit of the Forest, Terremoto Magazine and Widewalls.

Ketchup Drool The new Artissima website hosts since 2015 Ketchup Drool, a Blog-

Notes about the fair curated by Lucrezia Calabrò Visconti. In the month preceding the opening, the blog will publish daily posts with previews of the exhibited works, supplemented by theory excerpts, archival images, digressions and free associations developed by an anonymous steering committee.

Inclinazioni Inclinazioni is a special exhibition within Artissima. The show originates from Musei in Mostra, a section of the fair

conceived as a showcase for contemporary art collections and institutions in Piedmont. In 2015 Artissima invited Stefano Collicelli Cagol to reimagine it as an independent exhibition, with works by over 30 artists in a 700 sqm dedicated area of the fair – an expansion supported by Compagnia di San Paolo and Camera di Commercio di Torino.

The exhibition, titled Inclinazioni, focuses on the notion of inclination – an inner artistic, political or personal tendency, as well as an alternative oblique geometry – exploring it with an ironic and sometimes grotesque approach in contrast with the gridlike structure of “Italy’s squarest city”.

Inclinazioni operates independently of the fair’s commercial aims and promotes the collaborative work of its participating institutions and association in conserving, and raising public awareness of, contemporary art.

A staff of expert guides will assist visitors interested in more in-depth information on the show. The guides have been selected in cooperation with Accademia Albertina di Belle Arti, Turin, and the Sole 24Ore Master’s programme in Arts Management.
