ARTISSIMA 2016 23rd EDITION

ARTISSIMA 2016
23rd EDITION
3 November 2016: Press Preview, Preview, Opening
4, 5, 6 November 2016: Open to the public
Artissima 2016, the International Fair of Contemporary in Torino, directed
by Sarah Cosulich for the fifth consecutive year, opens the doors of its
twenty-third edition to the public.
Renowned as an art fair of research, Artissima has proven to be a
forerunner of new curatorial tendencies and a pioneer of new formats,
thanks to its constant self-reinvention. The innovative, experimental and
dynamic approach of the fair makes it not only one of the most anticipated
international events, but also the Italian locus of excellence, where
visitors can investigate and reflect upon new approaches to artistic
creation and contemporary curatorship.
An ambitious project and a starting point for a unique journey of
exploration and discovery, from 4 to 6 November Artissima returns to
offer the public a wonderful opportunity to fall in love with the latest
developments in contemporary art.
Enriched by a new section, Dialogue, a new prize, and a structure that
brings relevance to experimental and emerging art, the 2016 edition of
Artissima comprises seven sections, of which three are each selected by a
board of international curators and museum directors (Back to the Future,
Present Future and Per4m).
The formats of these three sections, originated with Artissima and
dedicated, respectively, to the great pioneers of contemporary art,
emerging talents and performance, have been established as standard on
the international art fair scene.
The new initiatives of this year’s edition aim to strengthen even further
Artissima’s identity as a ‘curated fair’ and its attention to experimentation
and research.
The curatorial approach is clearly visible in the role given to curators in
the selection process of the galleries, in the proposals of artists, and in the
attention of the fair for curated booths. These precious consultants are
also involved in identifying in the fair to be awarded with special prizes,
or in participating to initiatives such as the Walkie Talkies, informal
conversations between curators or curator and collector, amidst the
booths.
Further, the fair’s distinct identity and its force of attraction echo
throughout the entire city of Torino, as seen in the collaborative activities
with the many museums in the city and in Artissima’s special initiatives.
This year, Artissima presents a parallel project, specially conceived by the
German artist Thomas Bayrle for an unusual venue: Torino Airport. In a
site-specific installation, the artist transforms the Baggage Claim area of
the airport into an unexpected exhibition space.
Yet again, Artissima proves itself as a unique project of its kind, able to
combine curatorial quality with a dynamic approach that is forever
evolving.
The fair is organised by Artissima srl, a company owned by the Fondazione
Torino Musei.
WHAT’S NEW IN 2016
Dialogue, the new section of Artissima, presents booths featuring a
maximum of three artists in a coherent and curated project.
New Entries, for the first time, the section devoted to emerging
galleries is reunited in a compact and independent space at the
entrance to the fair, highlighting Artissima’s commitment to the work
of the younger generations.
PER4M, now in its third year, has evolved into an articulated
performance programme, curated for the first time by the Dutch art
collective If I Can’t Dance, I Don’t Want To Be Part Of Your Revolution.
In Mostra, an exhibition project curated by Simone Menegoi, entitled
‘body.gesture.posture’, revolutionises the format of this annual show
by introducing this year, alongside works from the leading museums
and foundations of Piemonte, also important loans from private
collections.
Flying Home, a special project for Artissima 2016 made in collaboration
with Torino Airport | Sagat. This site-specific installation by Thomas
Bayrle proves the fair's ability to contaminate with contemporary art
the most unexpected locations.
What is Experimental, a series of talks curated by Stefano Collicelli
Cagol featuring curators of international non-profit or institutional
spaces in debate on this topic.
Mutina Project ‘This is not a Prize’, the seventh prize awarded at
Artissima and presented for the first time at the 2016 edition, consists
in Mutina’s support of future projects by the selected artist.
“The unique identity of Artissima allows to interweave every year a
coherent programme of international research with experimental
initiatives. No other fair worldwide involves this number of exceptional
curators in its selection process and proposals of galleries and artists:
museum directors, dynamic young curators and gallerists from around
the world allow us to bring to Torino not only the very best of emerging
art but also key figures from the historical avant-garde. The
common thread of this year’s edition is performativity: in the live
performance programme; in the relationships between the works that
galleries choose to bring to Torino; in the debate between curators and
collectors engaged in walking conversations in the fair; in the theme
evoked by this year’s great In Mostra exhibition; in the city’s active
connection between public and private; in Artissima’s concept which
rethinks the role of the art fair every year. Performativity par
excellence is also in the dialogue that Artissima builds with the city and
its contemporary art network. Finally it’s in Thomas Bayrle’s project at
Torino Airport, which connects physically and metaphorically work,
public, space and context. We are proud to continue to innovate in
unexpected ways, and we thank all of our partners who allow us to do
so.”

PRESENT FUTURE
Present Future is the section of Artissima dedicated to emerging talents,
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 itinerary. 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 2016 Present Future presents projects by 20 artists presented by 18
foreign galleries and 4 Italian galleries.
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, the prize in collaboration with Castello
di Rivoli Museo d’Arte Contemporanea has offered the winner the
exceptional opportunity of presenting a solo exhibition at the museum.
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.
In 2015 the prize was awarded to Alina Chaiderov, represented by
Gallery Antoine Levi, Paris. A solo show by the artist will open at the
Castello di Rivoli Museo d’Arte Contemporanea at the same as Artissima
2016.

Back to the Future is the section of Artissima dedicated to the
rediscovery of avant-garde works, featuring solo exhibitions by great
pioneers of contemporary art. In 2016 it will focus on works produced
between 1970 and 1989.
The section, now in its seventh 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 2016, 19 artists participate in Back to the Future, presented by 19
galleries (3 Italian, 16 from abroad).
During Artissima, an international jury awards the Sardi per l’Arte Back

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 stage framework dedicated to it and from
which it originates.
For the 2016 edition, Per4m evolves into a project curated by the Dutch
collective If I Can’t Dance, I Don’t Want To Be A Part Of Your Revolution,
created to explore the transformation of performance and its typologies
in the context of contemporary art. The collective has developed a
groundbreaking programme conceived specifically for the context of the
fair.
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.
Complete calendar of performances is at the end of the document.

OTHER INITIATIVES IN THE FAIR
Ypsilon St’Art Percorsi in Movimento by Lancia
What is Experimental
The Ypilon St’Art Percorsi In Movimento, inaugurated in 2015, is a
programme of guided tours through the booths and the special sections
of the fair, designed to offer the general public insights and new
interpretations and conceived to bring them into the world of
contemporary art.
Among its new features, Artissima 2016 presents What is Experimental,
a new programme featuring a series of talks curated by Stefano Collicelli
Cagol, in which curators of non-profit and institutional spaces debate,
creating a moment for discussion and sharing. Calendar of talks:
Friday 4 November
Walkie Talkies by Lauretana
•
One of the most successful public events at Artissima, the Walkie Talkies
feature a series of informal conversations: 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 what Artissima offers. 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, coordinated by Nataša Venturi, is composed of 12 visits, 4
per day, led by 24 different curators and international collectors.
With Sohrab Mohebbi (curator and critic, Los Angeles), Davide Quadrio

SPECIAL PROJECTS
In Mostra – ‘corpo.gesto.postura’
Flying Home
Each year, Artissima organises a large-scale thematic exhibition at the
Oval pavilion that celebrates the great public collections of Torino and its
region. The result is the unique exhibition In Mostra, in which Piemonte's
commitment to collecting at the highest international level is displayed.
In 2016, the show combines for the first time art works from major
museums and foundations and loans from important private collections.
On the occasion of its 2016 edition, Artissima presents Flying Home, a
new and unprecedented parallel project, specially conceived for the city,
realised in collaboration with Torino Airport and curated by Sarah
Cosulich. For the first time, Torino Airport | Sagat is participating as a
partner in an art commission, accepting Artissima’s challenge to
experiment with new models, unexpected places and different
audiences. These two seemingly unrelated institutions of the city, have
collaborated on a surprising cultural initiative, inviting the influential
German artist Thomas Bayrle to create a site-specific work for Torino
airport. For Flying Home, Bayrle has chosen the Baggage Claim area,
which is transformed into an unexpected and stimulating exhibition
space, deeply imbued with meaning. Through an unprecedented
sequence of images, Flying Home reveals the mechanisms of the
construction of his mammoth piece Flugzeug (Aeroplane, 1984), a largescale print of a plane made up of a million small aeroplanes on a 96square-metre surface.
Curated this year by Simone Menegoi, the project, entitled
'corpo.gesto.postura' ('body.gesture.posture'), focuses on the human
figure and the exploration of the body in art. The selection includes
sculptures and videos, paintings and photographs, performances and
drawings from the nineteenth century to the present.
