Artissima Internazionale d’Arte Contemporanea di Torino presents the first new developments for its 32nd edition, which will take place at the Oval in Torino from 31 October to 2 November, directed for a fourth year by Luigi Fassi and with the support of the Main Partner Intesa Sanpaolo and Gallerie d’Italia – Torino, the museum of the bank, sponsoring Artissima for the sixth consecutive year.
Confirming its uniqueness on the European scene and its attractiveness on an international level, Artissima is working on an edition of the highest quality, experimental, cutting-edge and research-based, under the transversal theme of Operating Manual for Spaceship Earth.
(the theme of the edition)
Operating Manual for Spaceship Earth is the theme of Artissima 2025. “Based on the book of the same title by Richard Buckminster Fuller, published in 1969 (Italian edition by Il Saggiatore), this concept urges us to reflect on our presence on Earth, a ‘spaceship’ entrusted to the collective care of its inhabitants – explains Luigi Fassi. How can we take care of it by balancing its resources and sustainability for all living beings? Fate has left us without instructions, but Fuller recommends getting past the boundaries between disciplines, cooperating from a broader, more aware viewpoint. Great visionaries, such as artists, will open up new routes to understand our role at the helm of Spaceship Earth. They are the ones who can inspire the drafting of an Operating Manual. Artissima 2025 invites its community – participants and visitors – to reflect on this theme, guiding our planet through the challenges of the present”.
(the visual identity)
In line with this year’s theme, which calls for reflection on one’s role and vocation through a lens of transformation, Artissima looks to its past and, with the Torino-based design studio FIONDA, reimagines itself for the future. The fair’s iconic logos have been reworked, flipped, and paired to create brackets that frame, highlight, and symbolise its multifaceted content.
The bold pink colour speaks to and amplifies Artissima’s experimental spirit: not just Italy’s leading contemporary art event, but also a cultural institution with a strong identity, capable of producing innovative projects and maintaining a consistent yet evolving vision.
(the selection committee)
The committee that selects the galleries participating in the sections Main Section, Monologue/Dialogue, New Entries and Art Spaces & Editions is composed by the international gallerists: Paola Capata (Monitor, Roma, Lisbon and Pereto), Philippe Charpentier (mor charpentier, Paris and Bogota), Guido Costa (Guido Costa projects, Torino), Antoine Levi (Ciaccia Levi, Paris and Milano) and Elsa Ravazzolo Botner (A Gentil Carioca, Rio de Janeiro and São Paulo). They are joined this year by two new members: Emanuel Layr (Layr, Vienna) and Francesco Lecci (Clima, Milano).
(the curatorial team)
Artissima confirms the curatorial team behind its three curated sections – Present Future, Back to the Future, and Disegni – each developed through monographic presentations: Léon Kruijswijk (Performance Curator at Mudam, Luxembourg) and Joel Valabrega (Independent Curator based in Porto and Milano) are curators of Present Future for the second year; Jacopo Crivelli Visconti (Director of the Albuquerque Foundation, Sintra) and Heike Munder (Independent Curator and writer, Zurich) are confirmed curators of Back to the Future. Irina Zucca Alessandrelli (curator of Collezione Ramo, Milano) returns at the head of the Disegni section.
