Other projects and proposals enriched the visits at THE PHAIR:

Orizzonti urbani
Visions and perspectives of eight local artists: The new project, with the collaboration of Fondazione Compagnia di San Paolo, aims to enhance the artistic research carried out by Italian and international artists working in Turin. Each interviewed will create stories of the local art scene, through the looks of women who have interpreted the concept of landscape extending it to the concept of cosmos, collective memory, social landscape, archival. All the interviews can be downloaded by scanning the QR code at the Fondazione Compagnia di San Paolo booth, which also features biographies of the artists and a video loop.
Participating in the project: Maura Banfo, Roberta Bruno, Monica Carocci, Eva Frapiccini, Marzia Migliora, Marilena Noro, Elisa Sighicelli and Grazia Toderi.
