Angela Vettese on Arte Fiera 2017: Identity Over Emulation

Just hours before the official opening of Arte Fiera 2017, director Angela Vettese shared her vision for the fair. Despite formal and content changes from the previous edition, the shift in pace is not immediately apparent. Vettese emphasized that Arte Fiera should not emulate major international fairs but reaffirm its own identity tied to Bologna. Key words for the curatorial line are synergy and openness, though the path is still developing and requires an act of trust. The interview, conducted by Arianna Testino, awaits more structured assessments and future developments for a fair in need of a true leap forward.
